This week in Everybody Hates Chris: Everybody Hates A Blogger. Alas, District 6 aficionados, Jordanna Thigpen will not be running for Daly's seat either. Instead, she's running for the DCCCCCCCCCCCCC (sorry, we always forget how many Cs that has) instead. Thanks for playing, Jordanna! So who else is up? Well, according to the Sentinel, the following people have announced their intent to run in District 6: Nadia Cabezas, Matthew Drake, Rodney Hauge, Manuel Jimenez, Bobby Jordan, Andrew Rucker, and William Stewart. Of these candidates, the Wall noted that one has a blog! He's the one whose name is a hyperlink! Guess who we're profiling next! Welcome, Manuel Jimenez! He's a former bike messenger, a former Marine, and an attorney for the State Bar of California. Watch out, Chris, looks like he also has a cute son! Jimenez is running as the "Quality of Life Supervisor," as outlined in his policy papers. You know we've got a short attention span, so we're skimming here, but it looks like be nicer to the SFPD and move Board of Supes meetings to 5 p.m. Any position on impeaching Bush, Mr. Jimenez? Also, Jimenez provides links to a children's book he's penned ("Timo's Tough Trek To School"), some supportive comments from his mom ("I'm thrilled you're running for office!"), his drawings, and excerpts from his novel. You can also check out his campaign blog (where he comes out against Daly's homicide task force plan) and his personal blog too. Wow, that's a lot of websites. We see a Bay Blogger Thursday profile in your future, Mr. Jimenez! Picture of Manuel Jimenez from his websites more ›

While we can think of about fifty places in the Mish to practice your Downward Dog without even trying, it's nice to find places where we can practice our favorite set of postitions without looking like we were stranded by our dates in the Cow Palace parking lot after Exotic Erotic. Since none of those Yoga Tree joints will let us practice our California Roll and the Metereon threw us out after our last Popcorn Bucket, we have to look a little further afield, like, at those places where people are to have sex in public -- sex clubs. more ›

We've been meaning to interview Craig Newmark for, like, six months -- ever since he dropped by SFist and left his phone number! Everyone here at SFist has used Craigslist for something, and we bet the vast majority of our readers have, too. Hell, SFist Cheshire was in 24 Hours on Craigslist, and when we first met, joked that he found "his car, his house, his job and his fiance on Craigslist." Well, he's got a new job, and his fiance is now his lovely wife, but still -- its not every website that can lay claim to changing someone's life quite so profoundly. more ›

Sure, every Tom, Dick, or Harry Celebrity has a blog these days. Hell, Paris Hilton is even doing Pod casting. But that still doesn't mean it isn't a thrill when we stumble upon a blog of one of our favorite celebrities. And not just any celebrity, but Mr. "Don’t Stop Believing" Himself- the one, the only Steve Perry. Sure, he doesn't post that much, but this is the man who wrote "Patiently." The man who gave us our feature header "When the Lights Go Down in the City." The man probably responsible for more groping at high school dances than anyone except maybe the guys in Led Zeppelin or Boys 2 Men. In other words, give the man a break people. Hasn't he done enough for us? Luckily for us, Mr. Steve Perry himself was kind enough to "have a conversation with us" in honor of us featuring his blog for Bay Blogger Thursday (our, in our case, Bay Blogger Late Thursday Night). And remember we kid because we love. Seriously. more ›

So of course we're surrounded by Bay Bloggers all week here in Austin, but didn't think to ask "Hey, you wanna do Bay Blogger Thursday?" We know, stupid. Luckily we also hadn't remembered to announce the start of Austinist, which besides having all the inside dope on the haps at SXSW, is helmed by none other than Ben Brown -- who, lucky for us, grew up right here in the Bay Area! And he does yoga, which has to count for something. more ›

A long, long time ago, when SFist still had the Beta-training-wheels on, Pim Techamuanvivit wrote a note saying that she might be interested in writing for the site. Since we were young and dumb, we didn't really follow-up besides sending a quick reply, but recently we decided that we were just going to start pestering her. Since she's not only an awesome gourmet blogger, but a nice person (and, we hear, has great taste in shoes), she agreed to sit down with us for a Bay Blogger Thursday interview! more ›

Crankreport's Marnie Webb. more ›

(next one is September 25, so RSVP now!), and we hope she won't feel compelled to get a restraining order if we take things a step further and feature her site for this week's Bay Blogger Thursday. more ›

This week's Bay Blogger Thursday has been a long time coming. Ever since EssEffist went deep into the bowels of the innerweb trolling for bloggers to add to our link list (over there on the right), we've wanted to let the world know about A Comedy Notebook. Immediately upon finding this site, we knew we had struck gold. We have no idea who's comedy notebook this is, but they're good. They should be writing bits for Dave or Conan's monologue, as far as we're considered. Of course they could write for Jay, but the jokes would have to be much less funny. A sampling: What is this a picture of? A. The effects of a hurricane on a pier B. A large wave crashing on a Florida coastline C. A Reuben Studdard cannonball dive
