Chris Daly's super excited about his Progressive Convention on Saturday June 2, right? He's telling everyone! He even crashed Gavin Newsom's party last Saturday to tell him! June 2! June 2! They're going to nominate a progressive mayoral candidate on June 2!

Soooooo.... guess who else is having a mayoral event that very same day????

In order to qualify Mayor Gavin Newsom for the ballot this coming November, we need your help. We are going to start collecting signatures from San Franciscans on June 2nd. We want to show the City's widespread support of our Mayor and his vision for San Francisco.

We're hosting a volunteer mobilization on June 2nd at 12:30 at our campaign headquarters. Please come join the Mayor and other enthusiastic campaign volunteers as we hit the streets to let people know what this campaign is all about.

Oh no! Scheduling another party on the very same day as your rival's! That is COLD. They're going to have a rally for Newsom on Chris Daly's birthday next!

After the jump: we actually talked to both Chris Daly and the Newsom campaign about this -- plus, all your info for your jam-packed June 2nd schedule.

Thanks to multiple readers, who sent in the following pictures from today's anti-Chris Daly, pro-corporate wifi protest on the steps of City Hall! One reader described it as "Fake Protest Time" and reports seeing the organizers handing faux-"homemade" signs to a number of confused-looking locals, while another notes that Gavin spoke and the whole idea of a grassroots protest for wifi seemed kind of contrived.

(Pro-wifi-ers, feel free to support the other position in the comments! We're just reporting what we got from our sources.)

That said, it sounds like nothing got decided at the hearing, so hey, maybe the protest worked! Take that, heavily-bewhiskered Chris Daly! It was not all hot air that Gavin Newsom was puffing at the tent last Saturday!

Thanks, SFMike and other reader who wishes to stay anonymous, for the pics! Send yours in to us too (or tag them SFist on Flickr.)

Okay, we'll admit it. San Francisco local politics as of late has been, shall we say, BORING. Boring boring boring boring. No shouting matches, no chicken suits, no revelations from either underage drinkers or hyphenated-named wives of best friends -- it's been slim pickings. So how excited are we to hear that the simmering cauldron of rage that is the Gavin Newsom-Chris Daly rivalry is heating up!!!! YES!!!!!!

So, according to Left in SF: before Fake Question Time 5 yesterday (which seems to have been boycotted by pretty much every news organization in town), there was a rally at City Hall (.pdf) for children and families.

And how exciting! The mayor was there! Gavin Newsom, on his home turf, gives a rallying cry of a speech: why do families leave San Francisco, something's got to be done, let's build 3100 more units of affordable housing. Applause! Gavin leaves the stage so the next speaker can take the stage.

Next speaker, please! .....Uh oh! Did they say Chris...... DALY????

Chris Daly takes the mike. He thanks the organizers of the rally. And then he says, "I want you to know that Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite." AAAAAAAAAAAAH!! They look in the audience. Gavin has turned his back on the speaker. AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

After the jump: why's Newsom a hypocrite? And Newsom's return salvo, scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Yay! SF politics is fun again!
