As is customary just before San Francisco's yearly 12k Fun Run and Bacchanal, here is your annual Bay to Breaks Liquor Store Map, brought to you by Joe Kukura of the wonderful Exercising While Intoxicated and the (apparently defunct?) Citizens for the Preservation of Bay to Breakers. The forecast is calling for 65 and sunny, so the gaggles of nudists and hordes of folks who cleaned out the American Apparel bargin bins ought to be out in all of their fleshy and gold lamé glory.

We would like to take a moment to thank this week's advertisers on SFist.

In Friday's end of day roundup: Muni's fuzzy on-time data, hating Bono, Facebook miscellany, a solar eclipse this weekend and the "gay cure" doc finally apologizes.

Tonight, Art Murmur's Murmurama takes over Oakland's Uptown Art District, Moholy Ground Project celebrates the launch of issue #4, and Smiths cover band This Charming Band leads a big tribute to Morrissey.

Mark Zuckerberg and longtime med student girlfriend Priscilla Chan got major status updates today as the pair celebrated Zuck's becoming a bajillionaire and crashing the Nasdaq with a small, 100-person wedding in the backyard of his home in Palo Alto. And look, he even put on a tie!

Tonight, Juanita More and Wo Hing General Store serve up some beats, dim sum, and more, Meridian Gallery presents a screening of 'Red Poet,' a documentary about Bay Area poet Jack Hirschman, and CASA (Children's After School Arts) presents a play, 'I am the Center of the Universe!'

SFist's Flickr feed blew up last night with outstanding contributions from Bay Area photographers who were on the scene at different locations across the Bay to Breakers route. Thanks a bunch for getting them up in such a timely manner, guys!

In Monday's morning call: B2B winner unsatisfied, Tim Lincecum's rough start, Tony Bennett, Ed Lee's literary cameo, Chinese food in the Lower Haight, and Gavin Newsom angrily tweets from an airport runway.

California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom is learning what we've known for eons — namely, not having access to the Jetty sucks. On an airport tarmac somewhere last night, Newsom was none too thrilled that United Airlines kept him waiting. The former San Francisco mayor, who was returning home from filming an episode of This Week With George Stephanopoulos, fumed: "Inexcusable @united waiting for over an hour in seat for 'catering'-after almost 2hrs in seat waiting for mech fix & changing plane...you now have us in seats on tarmac approaching 2 hrs (second time) -I'll forgive the 5.5 hour delay-this time it's 'weights'!"

The formidable Bhautik Joshi snapped these shots of Sunday's annular "ring of fire" solar eclipse. "I ended up using a pair of solar shades glasses over the end of my 70-300mm and it was still possible to get some pretty decent shots of the eclipse," he notes.

A three-alarm blaze occurred early Saturday morning, around 4 a.m., in a small industrial space at 3050 Broadway on Oakland's Auto Row. Firefighters arrived to find flames shooting 20 feet in the air from a marijuana grow operation with upwards of 100 plants.

After revisiting Bay to Breakers of yore in Alamo Square, KRON 4's pitch-perfect newsman Stanley Roberts returned to the race course this weekend to do what he does best: catch People Behaving Badly for his aptly named news segment. This time around, Stanley goes straight for the #1 issue and films pretty much everyone who shunned the legions of portable toilets in favor of some en plein air peeing.

Welcome to a new chapter of Urbane Studies, in which our agents suss out the finer points of city lore by scrutinizing its individual street corners. This week: an examination of Tenderloin housing market trends, and a conversation with a drunk at the Nite Cap at Hyde & O'Farrell.

After closing 23 cents above its record-breaking IPO price of $38 on Friday, Facebook's stock dipped 11 to 13 percent to $33.87, at least as of early this morning. Patience will most likely prevail and the stock will grow over time. Naturally. But that didn't stop the heaps of schadenfreudian headlines and articles posted today. "Facebook stock plummets on second day of trading," screams San Jose Mercury News' headline. While Bloomberg made it sound like company CEO Mark Zuckerberg could be spare-changin' outside of Tu Lan, saying, "Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune dropped $2.2 billion as shares of Facebook Inc. (FB), the world’s largest social-networking company, fell below the company’s $38 offer price in its second day of trading."

Yesterday's spectacular solar eclipse has already been blamed for at least one car accident involving a 26-year-old female driver who claims to have been blinded by the sun just at the tail end of the event. She was driving toward the intersection of Grand and Walnut Avenues in South San Francisco when she collided with two pedestrians in the crosswalk, a 40-year-old woman and her 10-year-old daughter.

Tonight, Porchlight storytellers talk about sweet surrender, Sparta wakes up from a three-year "nap," and Food Network's Ted Allen speaks in conversation at JCCSF.

We've come a long way, folks. They thought they'd come a long way in 1961 when they had things like automatic dialing phone, the first video phones, and satellite communications. But imagine having problems in business like phones with no answering machines. Anyway, take a trip back to the Mad Men era in this weird, long-winded promotional film from AT&T ca. 1961. We suppose they screened this for executives in conference rooms using, like, a projector? Anyway. We took the liberty of skipping the really abstract first couple minutes for you, but you can rewind if you like.

A pedestrian running across the street (allegedly against the light) at 19th and Valencia was struck by a car Saturday evening around 6 p.m., sending him ten feet in the air and bouncing off a second passing vehicle, according to one witness. Witnesses say the car, Toyota Sienna, had the right of way, and that the victim ran out in front of the car, which was crossing Valencia heading west on 19th.

Despite seeming relatively normal, as far as the weddings of the rich & loaded go, Mark Zuckerberg's post-IPO nuptials drew plenty of speculation about whether the Silicon Valley wunderkind strategically timed the ceremony to keep his bride out of his new billions. But that's not how weddings work in California, says one bigshot divorce lawyer who TMZ happened to have in their rolodex. As Laura Wasser explains to the gossip site:

Gothamist reports today that MTV's The Real World — where young people stopped being polite, and started getting real — aired today for the very first time. Created by Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray, the show was based off of a 1973 documentary series An American Family. After the Hawaii season, however, the show seemed more like something based off of Cinemax After Dark. But before The Real World dipped its toes into ill-advised roommate-on-roommate promiscuity and binge drinking, San Francisco played host to the series' arguably greatest season. (Fine, it might tie with NYC's Season One.) We are, of course, talking about Pedro, Cory, Judd, Pam, Mohammed, Rachel, and Jo. (Puck too. But, ugh, whatever. Puck was awful.)

The 101st running of Bay to Breakers was fairly tame by B2B standards: some people got arrested, some people peed in the bushes and some people just threw all of their trash on the floor of Popeye's Chicken on Divisadero Street.

David C. Hill snapped these shots of people gazing at Sunday's "ring of fire" solar eclipse at the California Academy of Sciences. Now you know how the sun feels.

Today in Day Around the Bay: Solar eclipse time-lapse and finger fun, D5 supervisor hopeful, Michael Bauer in Dogpatch, and more.

In Tuesday's morning call: RPD upsets the slackliners' balance, John Madden on the possible Warriors move, WSJ on babies with iPads, remembering Park Bowl, the Gavin Newsom Show and Nancy Pelosi Drive.

Another fake Muni ad has been discovered, this time on an outbound 38 Geary. It mocks local artisan purveyors Bi-Rite (while making a crude reference to lesbians), reading, "Bi-Dyke: Organic Produce for the Organic Asshole." Ugh. This most recent faux advertisement follows fake ads for Du Beers, Tartine, Tums, and... Marine fellatio.

Salinas, California based leafy green supplier River Ranch Fresh Foods has initiated a nationwide recall of pre-made bagged salads after discovering a Listeria contamination. No illnesses have been reported yet, but if you are one of the many folks too lazy to chop their own carrots, you may want to check the list of affected products which are sold under a variety of labels across the country.

Two months after 15-year-old Sierra LaMar disappeared from near her Morgan Hill home on her way to school, investigators have finally made in a break in the case. Last night they arrested 21-year-old Antolin Garcia-Torres outside a Morgan Hill Safeway, and they gave a news conference this morning to reveal further details.

At 10 a.m. Tuesday, Mayor Ed Lee and the Golden State Warriors front office are scheduled to make good on months of rumors by officially announcing a deal to bring the NBA franchise back to San Francisco proper. According to the Chronicle, the deal will bring a $500 million, privately financed 17,000 - 19,000-seat arena to Pier 30 along the southern Embarcadero. The new arena is expected to be completed in time for the team to start hosting home games on the waterfront during the 2017 - 2018 season.
