SFist interviews Kenneth Ryan, Prop Master of the San Francisco Ballet more ›

Seems like all our friends are getting sick with that weird cold/flu that's going around town -- what with the cold weather and pre-holiday stress, we guess we're not too surprised about it, but still. more ›

SFist interviews Crispin Hellion Glover, who is screening his films at the Castro Theater this weekend. more ›

SFist interviews the Reverend Billy of "what would jesus buy?" more ›

Yeah, yeah, it's been a crazy few months at the day job for us (thanks for noticing, commenter MHTH! We really are trying to get back to a semi-normal posting schedule again soon, we swear) but what are we thankful for? One word -- BROCK! (And that's why we didn't send in our thankfulness post with everyone else's a couple posts below -- there's no way Brock would have run it otherwise!) more ›

SFist interviews local band Social Studies. They rock. more ›

We this picture of *NSYNC's out memoirist Lance Bass at a Halloween party at the Clift Hotel - love love love love love!!! (Are we the only people mildly interested in reading his new book, "Out of Sync," to see if he names anyone else in the pop world who might be gay?). Thanks to Drew Altizer for sending it along! more ›

SFist interviews Mike Birbiglia and gives away tickets to his upcoming show at Cobb's. more ›

We're expanding the SFist family, and we think you might look perfect in our Mormon-sized family photo. The cons include the facts that our commenters can be abusively frank and our editors are worse (much worse!) but the pros undoubtedly are sharing the scoop with SFist readers who are the smartest, freshest, smoothest, and most engaged folks in the Bay Area, period. more ›

We always love it when Drew Altizer sends over his latest A-list pictures for us to peruse! Here's a memento of Drew's trip up to the North Bay last week, to San Anselmo to see Robin Wright Penn at the launch of the EcoMom Alliance, about encouraging mothers to take social action. (More pictures from the event here.) more ›

Boss's day interview with Hillary Mendelsohn more ›

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. Tim Redmond says the Navy is the gayest armed services branch. Well, sure. Cars are worse than homeless people, says a letter writer. Halloween will suuuuuck. A former director of Intersection for the Arts died in a car crash. The new crackdown on homelessness, and why aren't people more upset? Cover article: Our pals at SwapSF make the cover! About the whole freetail trend! Yay SwapSF! (and other freegans!) Annalee Newitz loves to IM. This Woggles concert sounds like fun ("I go to a lot of shows where dudes in hoodies stand around, solemnly head-bobbing with their hands in their pockets" -- but the Woggles won't be one of those!) Okay, the band name Eat Skull caught our attention. Damon and Naomi are coming to town. Is a Chinese restaurant filled with non-white people really better than the other option? And L.E. Leone wishes she were an alcoholic. more ›

Being paralyzed by choice is pretty much the peril of music lovers in this town. If you didn’t see Beirut’s amazing show last night at the Herbst, you’re probably considering how to check them out tonight. On the other hand approximately half the population of Swedish rockers are performing at The Independent tonight. And well, Swedish bands are just so very hot. Headliners are the Shout Out Louds, whose new album we can’t say enough good things about. In supporting roles are Johnossi and Nico Vega. Oh, and to tip the scales a little more, the kind folks at Tank Farm Future Sounds are not only sponsoring the tour, but are also hosting an after party with the bands, which YOU, yes YOU dear SFist reader are invited too. Yes, it’s a school night, but come on.. Swedish Rock stars and after party. You do the math. Make sure you stop by and say hi to SFist. Just in case you’re still wavering Ossi Bonde of Johnossi took some time out of touring to answer our many questions about Stockholm and San Francisco. Which is especially timely since Johnossi's self titled debut was released in the US today. Let Ossi's responses be the decider in your life. more ›

SFist interviews Jason Poranksi of Beirut, who are performing two nights at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco more ›

SFist interviews Contributor Julie Feinstein Adams, who write on the wonderful world of food. more ›

Last week's winner, the deceptive SF Weekly. Letters abound, either outraged by the fake Barry Bonds story or entertained by the elk. Why don't the negative letters have the names of the authors? Are you now questioning all the journalism you read in the Weekly now, or did you just think it was a good joke? Matt Smith says Gavin Newsom is supporting a cult. No, not the cult of Gavin, though no doubt Gavin supports that too. Cover article: a family that's had two kids shot near the Sunnyvale housing project. It's a really interesting story! This weekend alone: Litquake, the Zine Fest, and Tease-O-Rama. It's good to live in SF! Meredith isn't so happy with an appetizer bar; SFist Ced isn't so happy with Meredith! Mercredi, C'est Ravioli will continue!!!! Yay! Recent disaster concerts in the Bay Area -- at least Lady Sovereign and Lauryn Hill showed up, unlike MF Doom. We liked Let's Get Killed's pensive mature tone about the tough times Rogue Wave's gone through, we really did. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, and the Bouncer deconstructs the dive bar. more ›

Last week's winner, the San Jose Metro. Alas! They haven't updated their site for this week yet, and we didn't manage to snag a hard copy of the paper, so they'll have to forfeit in the Weekly of the Week contest for the week. more ›

Yay APAture! Tomorrow night is their film night at the Victoria Theater. This screening looks awesome: how can you want to watch movies titled, among other things, "Since You've Been Ong," "Dick Ho: Asian Male Porn Star," or "Kiss My Hyphen?" Noted documentarian and cinematographer Emiko Omori is the featured artist. more ›

We're a little late to the party on this one (sorry, sorry, sorry, we've been totally swamped at our day job lately, which is why we've been kind of MIA -- curse you, Ed Jew, for getting yourself indicted during our busiest week!) -- but can you believe Marilyn Manson actually managed to marry Dita Von Teese and then left her for some child? more ›

Last week's winner, the SF Weekly: Someone's angry with the Bouncer. Local progressive Adam Werbach is a Walmart sellout. Why won't anyone endorse the mayor? Cover article: the back story about the Haight neighborhood activist killed in an S/M session gone wrong. These drawings illustrating the piece are pretty rad, though (see left) -- did Matt Smith do 'em? A Hank Williams Birthday Karaoke Sing-Off???? There's a tear in our beer too! The anti-war Berkeley Rep Play is uneven. Meredith hits her second good review for SFist Ced. And Let's Get Killed screens some rare rock movies. more ›

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. more ›

it's only alcohol.... We're now only gingerly turning the pages. Please don't be pee. Letters: Someone hates Chris Daly. You can't talk to MUNI head Nat Ford when he's in the john? (Cartoon at left.) Cover article: The Treasure Island Music Fest is gonna be awesome!!!!!!! (We have got to remember to pick up tickets for it soon.) $85 to eat in the dark this Friday? (No link to the actual entry on the site.) Wow, everyone seems to love this BioShock game. Liveblogging (in a manner of speaking) Fringe Fest. Meredith eats downtown. But oh no!! SFist Ced says if she keeps up the good columns, he's going to retire Mercredi, c'est Ravioli! Noooo!!! The Donnas are back again, as are the New Pornographers. And the Bouncer's thoughts on autism. more ›

Bless you, Drew Altizer, for your always-fun pictures of the local celebs in town! We wish we were Vegasist, so you'd have some pictures of Britney Spears's flabtastic performance at the VMAs last night. (aaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!) more ›

Hey, for those of you who like the grapefruit-scented lotion and the copious free samples they hand out, the beloved bath and body store Kiehl's just opened a new store in the Westfield Mall. And Drew Altizer, our favoritest photographer of the stars, was there to see throaty British songbird Joss Stone (the one, the one who doesn't attack her spouse) opening up the joint. more ›
