Hoodies-N-Heels: Tonight's hip hop for the ivory white comes to you care of DJ VinSol. But he does more than just pump out hip hop staples. His electro, thrash, and slick soul sounds will have you staying to this Mission club just a little bit longer, getting just a little bit more drunk. A win-win, really. Goes from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at Double Dutch; free. Media Web Meet-Up III: The Producers: Come......

And now for a sentence that, to non-geeks, may sound like gibberish: Check upcoming.org for info on next week's Flickr meetup at the Apple store. The lovely and talented Flickr team (including SFist-friend Heather Champ and some local photofolks) will be hanging around, showing off the site, chatting, and counting down the minutes until they can all adjourn to 111 Minna for drinks. It's a perfect opportunity for some IRL contact with everyone's fave......

We have to be transparent about such things, so we'd just like to let our readers know that SFist has been purchased by SF Metblogs, who in turn have been purchased by Yahoo. What does this mean to you? Absolutely nothing. We'll still bring you the eight to ten or more posts everyday on issues that are important to folks in the San Francisco Bay Area. Why did we sell out, do you ask?......

It was just off the plane at LAX when the urge to trade business cards took hold... So begins our sordid tale of nerd debauchery here in Austin. The San Francisco Bay Area is representing to the fullest extent of the law here in Texas, and we've had a hard time keeping up on all the panels featuring Bay Area blog superstars. Even Jeffrey Zeldman's keynote address on Saturday, which was a one man......

Where we select choice events because to post on them all individually would take too much time. Tonight Derek Powazek and Heather Champ are hosting a little wine-and-cheese get together at Reverie Cafe to show off some of their own work and celebrate the launch of JPG Magazine. An excellent opportunity for the FBI to round up most of the photobloggers in the Bay Area for deportation to Gitmo. On Saturday, Irina over at......

It's good to be a nerd. At least that's how SFist feels after hanging out at the Swedish American Hall, taking full advantage of the open bar, nodding our head to the DJ's beats, nibbling on tidbits from the trays of finger food and stuffing our bag with schwag at the Creative Commons party last night. Intellectual property lawyers sure know how to party! Lawrence Lessig, everyone's favorite copyright law reform advocate and Stanford law......

Weekly wrap-up....

SFist has expressed our interest in Heather Champ, Bay Area photoblogger extraordinaire, in the past. We met her at the last Bay Area Photobloggers get-together (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. We're entranced by Heather's eerily organic cityscapes, as well as her collections of......

EssEffist was invited to a gathering of Bay Area Photobloggers recently, and wanted to let other shutterbugs know that if they want to trade tips or just learn more about photoblogging in general, they should mark their calendar for this Saturday. Hosted by Derek Powazek and Heather Champ, photobloggers extraordinaire, it's being held at the Reverie Cafe in the Haight....
