Piff! Pow! Zwap! On Valentine's Day at precisely 6 p.m. at Justin Herman Plaza, San Francisco will play host to its third annual public pillow fight. And they're looking for a few good men and women. The rules of the fight are as follows: 1) Tell everyone you know about Pillow Fight! 2) Tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW about Pillow Fight!!! 3) Nothing in your pillow but pillow. 4) Don’t hit anyone with out a......

Feel that? Why, those are your heart stings being tugged care of us and this cool little guy over here on the right. (Who like totally did not just make us completely tear up right now, so shut up!) Before we launch a few gift giveaways, why not take a moment to donate some money and/or effort to something worthy? Like giving people food, for example. No gift is too small and every bit......

Tuesday was National Hunger Awareness Day, and we're late mentioning it. We're kinda dragging our feet when it comes to this serious, depressing stuff. Turns out that a bunch of kids, when they are not fed through the school system (minus the fresh fruits) during summer break, go hungry. In California. Now. There's a bunch of activities around National Hunger Awareness Day, but we would like to mention one: a fund raiser organized by......

At next TuesdayFriday's MTA meeting (March 20, 2pm, Room 400, City Hall), they'll be moving to pay off five claims. Most are unlitigated, so we can't look up the details; the other two are vehicle-property-damage cases that are pretty standard-issue, at least for Muni. One, Evelyn Bravos versus SF, involves a $3,000 fender-bender in the Richmond; the other, San Francisco Food Bank versus SF, involves a bus crash that did about $18,000 in damage.......

On Thursday morning, we bent our self imposed no-drinks-before-noon"guideline" and attended a fun food and wine event. What made this invite stand out was that the wine tasting, Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2006, was tied to an important cause, the San Francisco Food Bank. Had we known we would be able to witness and talk to a good natured young woman dressed in a gigantic Beaujolais Nouveau costume we would've RSVP'd even sooner. Oh, and did we mention we dig romantic French accordion music by Odile Lavault while we sip and nibble? ...

There's a lot of tastiness going on tonight on both sides of the bay. Here in SF, there's the "Tastes of the City" event for young philanthropists - we're just giddy thinking that some of the Hot 20 under 40 might be there. Aiming at opening the designer wallets and handbags to kick down to charity, this party features food and beverages from the Bay Area's top restaurants and beverage companies including: Frisson, Vignette,......

Saturday: We're going to the first Amoeba Auction, planned to be a weekly event to directly aid musicians and independent relief efforts on the Gulf Coast from Hurricane Katrina. Unique, one of a kind, and collectible items (the VIP tickets to Bauhaus at the Warfield will be ours, bitches!) Amoeba will match all winning bids from the auctions, so you can bid with impunity. It all starts at 4. Sunday: We're taking SFist Franny......
