Eater SF uncovered something new and morally-questionable -- two of our favorite topics -- TablePronto, an online service that scalps restaurant reservations. Basically, it's a site that allows you to buy and sell reservations for a price. As of now they have a scant few available for SF: - Perbacco, 11/16, 9pm, $18; Foreign Cinema, 11/16, 8:30pm, $15; Town Hall, 11/16, 9:15pm, $10; Aqua, 11/16, 8:45pm, $10 Oh, all prime dining hours, too! But...

So much to do, so much not to do. What's a girl to do? Well, here is just a smattering of what's going on tonight.

Sob.) -- Hellgate Halloween: Vice magazine (SF's no. 1 fan) is throwing a bash with a complimentary bar (!) and tunes by Chromeo...

If the Chillin' show at the Mezzanine was any indication of how busy this years crop of Craft shows is going to be, we're in for a great December.

But most of the designers seemed pretty happy, and really, it was just the beginning for many of them.

We get a lot of e-mails about various events for good causes and most of them we'll list in our events posts but some of them, the one's that look really fun, we'll do a big post on. This one is definately deserving of a big post-- Dine Around. The basic gist of which is that if you eat at a selected restaurants in the Castro, Noe Valley, Mission, Potrero Hill, and Soma-- in other words, prime eating areas-- Wednesday night, money will be raised for the Aids Emergency Fund (AEF) and the Breast Cancer Emergency Fund (BCEF). And there's some great restaurants listed too like Foreign Cinema and la Mediterranee and Firefly and, well, just check out the list yourself. A raffle will also be held to help raise money. How could this not be a great thing as for the most part, all you need to do to support something is eat. We like eating.
