This Saturday at the San Francisco Embarcadero Hyatt Regency from noon-4 p.m., you can join KGO Radio and the Mendocino Wine Growers Foundation in celebration of the wines and other good stuff from Mendocino County. The event, called "Wine By The Bay 2007,", is $35 if you buy your ticket now; it'll be ten buck more ($45) at the door. What's exciting to us is that Friend of SFist, Destination Dinners' Lisa Diamond, is scheduled to be interviewed by KGO's Gene Burns during the event for his "Dining Around" program. more ›

Paging beleaguered Chronicle architecture critic John King! There's an article by Witold Rybczynski on Slate.com lamenting the lack of attractive buildings in San Francisco. We'd get more upset about this piece except, well, it's not like San Franciscans haven't been complaining about this for awhile themselves. more ›

This Wednesday at the Oakland Coliseum, the Golden State Warriors are holding a party for anybody interested in gathering en masse to witness the mysterious fan dance that is the Warriors on draft day.

Despite the unpleasantness of the last 12 years, Warriors fans seem jacked up about the draft, if not the Warriors Draft Party.

At least, that's how the Warriors Marketing Department sees it. Leveraging the momentum of setting the franchise single-season attendance record even while enduring another trip back to the drawing board, the team has decided to pull up their grass roots and upgrade the party venue to the mighty Coliseum. In years past, the party has been held in local watering holes such as the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, site of last year's throwdown. The Warriors have hit the big time now though, or expect to, or want to create the impression that they have, so it's a promotion to the Big Leagues for the W's other annual endeavor in futility.

Our friends at HotelChatter.com pass along the following tidbit about, and YouTube footage of, third-string TRL band Simple Plan when they stopped by San Francisco.

We have footage of Simple Plan's lead singer Pierre Bouvier pulling some pranks at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco [the one at 5 Embarcadero] like throwing firecrackers into the lobby and hocking loogies. Then he randomly finds a party to dance at. Warning: This video contains annoying Canadian accents. Please mute the volume.
