Perfect for celebrating Earth Day, Citizen Sugar is offering one lucky winner $500 in gas relief. ("Gas relief." Har.)

And if you win, you'll can temporarily stop whining about the price of gas these days. Oh, and the contest is......

Next time someone asks you what you're doing to save the Earth, you'll have an answer: Dance! This Earth Day Eve (Saturday, the 21st, tomorrow) from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, join a crowd of like-minded weirdos for Flash Dance 7 at the 24th St Bart plaza. Event organizer Amandeep Jawa is asking that you demonstrate your Earth-Day-Eveishness by wearing blue or green, unless you hate ecology, in which case you can dress in soot-grey and......

The Governator continues to go where no Governor has gone before and will go on MTV's "Pimp My Ride" to pimp his ride. Actually, several other Governors have appeared on reality shows before. Michigan's Governor Jennifer Granholm tried out for "America's Next Top Model" and former Governor George Allen is all set to appear on the new reality show "I Swear I'm Not a Racist" along with Don Imus and Michael Richards. ...

It's a little intimidating stepping up into the batter's box to do any sort of Sketchfest review in light of recent SFist events. Last thing we'd want is to get nasty comments back by celebrities. So, with all that in mind, we're just going to get the negative stuff out of the way with our Kasper Hauser/Elephant Larry review first so we could spend the rest of the review manning the trenches. And that is this-- we thought the opening act, Elephant Larry was better. ...

When we last left the bonfire debate at Ocean Beach, it was looking like there was going to be a crack down. Considering we have friends who went down to the beach over the weekend to burn some Christmas trees, we don't think anything has happened as of yet. Well, it looks like a compromise is set to take place as officials are in talks with "bonfire advocates" to build about twenty fire rings where bonfires could be held. ...

After making more flip-flops than an Indonesian child-labor sweatshop, the Environmentalist-in-Chief finally decided to spend his Earth Day Eve and morning at Dick Cheney's favorite disclosed location, Meadowood Resort in St. Helena. Although nobody's exactly sure why W made the last-minute call to go Napa, mountain biking might have had something to do with it.

The perpetually well rested Bush spent Friday night in one of Meadowood's $4,000 a night suites, then motorcaded over to Las Posadas State Forest in Angwin Saturday morning for a 65-minute mountain bike ride of unreported distance.

The ride, which Bush made with his SS entourage, the vaunted Travis Air Force Base cycling team, and AP writer Scott Lindlaw, was part of a carefully scripted Earth Day itinerary meant to highlight Bush's concern for the environment and sustainable fuels. Unfortunately for the Earth and everyone who lives on it, Bush is more Soylent Green than Greenpeace.

Last week, we talked about Ultimate Recycling. Today, we want to remind you about Regular Recycling. Because tomorrow is Earth Day. SFist loves the earth. Without it, we'd just be floating in space. Terra firma is where it's at. There are plenty of Earth Day-related events around this weekend for you to choose from and, frankly, we'll take any opportunity we can to remind you to reduce, reuse and recycle. Earth Day is also a......
