Posted Booty is in the Air to SFist
Pirate booty, that is! Today, "tall ships" of the pirate variety are sailing into San Francisco. Billed as the Festival of Sail, these ships will be available for tours, a ride on the bay, rides during the pararde and black-tie dinners to the tune of cheap, expensive, expensiver and fuhgedaboudit. As Steve Rubenstein notes (one of the best writers at La Chronicle, btw), looking at the boats from shore is free. If you head...

Posted 30 Days in San Francisco to SFist
Being amongst friends here at SFist, I'm going to drop the "we" and let you in on some news: I am moving to Los Angeles in a month for graduate school (Feel free to send hate mail to UC Berkeley Department of Journalism -- I have). I wouldn't normally post about this very boring, non-piece of news, but I thought that this would be a perfect time to turn to readers and ask: What piece...
Posted Oak Groves Are the Least of Their Problems to SFist
Although we guffaw over Berkeley news items sometimes (we know: pot calling kettle black blah blah blah), a recent turn of events makes us wish for more news of oak grove protesters, not ultra. serious. news. Seems that some guy (or different dudes?) have performed a couple of home invasions, resulting in burglary and sexual assault. With the weather being hot and bother-y, residents are advised not to leave windows open and to keep doors...
Posted On the Wrong Side of the Law to SFist
We're not sure if you've noticed, but as of yesterday, the new cell phone law has gone into effect. That's right: no more talky while driving, unless you've got a hands-free device for your phone. Yesterday, while we were out, law breakers were being pulled over left and right. It's a great way for the CHP to fill up those ticket quotas. Sure, the law makes car driving "safer" but, really? Driving's boring now....
