We do not -- are you listening carefully, Jennifer? -- believe that Gavin has left the most enchanting, pristine, and hopelessly 7x7-ish Siebel. (Believe us, you do not want to fuck with her when it comes to this, for lack of a better word, crap.) But let's throw this out for shits and giggles, shall we? We receive a lot of whimsical emails here at SFist HQ. Take, for example, this one from an......

From time to time, we get entertaining stories from you the readers. Here's the latest, on the woes of postal service in the Mission! So it seems that the Post Office in San Francisco, or at least the Mission District, is so inept that local branches no longer handle package pickups after a failed delivery attempt. Now anyone who misses a certified letter or an Amazon package in the Mission needs to trundle down to......

Look what we just got in the SFist editor's inbox!! Jury Duty with Ed Jew! This juror, being a good citizen, had to wait two days before the case resolved before being able to talk to us about it. We love you, juror reader! By now, you’ve heard it reported that Ed Jew got called up for Jury Duty on Monday. Well, I was actually in his juror pool and got to see the whole......

We get some interesting stories in the SFist editor's inbox, and here's the latest one we've heard. I was on Polk and Green yesterday running some errands when I noticed a light blue motorcycle going about 50 miles an hour and popping wheelies. Up and down Polk Street, from about Greenwich to Broadway and back again. What I noticed about this guy second or third time around was that he had a dog on his......

We don't think he'll attract quite the crowds that Conan amassed last week, but another TV personality has decided to broadcast from our fair City. Charlie Gibson is anchoring ABC's World News from San Francisco this week, and the newscasts are focusing on the Bay Area's varied attempts at "going green." Insert Conan's marijuana/plastic bags joke here. In other local TV news items that have managed to make their way into our In Box,......

Friend of SFist Johnny Funcheap sent us this note and pictures. Have you seen the work of this poet? Take some pictures and send them our way! i noticed something in the street on my way to work that i thought might be of interest for sfist. there's a little guerrilla artist who's been writing poetry in north beach on columbus just south of broadway in near Specs. normally i hate this kind of stuff......

Subject: quest for San Francisco buyer, unsolicited ask for help Dear editor of SFist, my name is Jan Karpisek and I'm a 25 years old Czech painter, out of academy since May 2005. I'm writing to you because of your location. In summer 2001 our school studio had a big show in Prague at the Old City Hall and while I was not present, someone from San Francisco bought two my paintings. You can find......

As SFist Reader Marivi did in the past, SFist Reader Tim has some suggestions for Caltrain. Caltrain riding readers, any thoughts? Subject: Intuitive CalTrain Signage And Caltrain wonders why it is so hard to get riders. Maybe it is because they make it so hard to use their system. I ride Caltrain every day from San Carlos to San Jose and back. You would think that after doing this for a year, I would be......

You know how much we love it when we get email from people who don't seem to to give SFist that close a read. In fact, we spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what might have inspired a particular email. Then again, the more time we spend trying to unravel the mysteries of odd email, like the one below, the less time we spend trashing Muni. From: REDACTED To: editor@sfist.com Date:......

SFist Reader Marivi sent this letter to District 5 Supervisor (and SFist partygoer) Ross Mirkarimi, and ccd us. As of yesterday, she has not recieved a response from Mirkarimi's office.* This SFist has never had the pleasure of riding Muni with children, and this letter really made us think about how difficult it must be. Have you had issues similar to Marivi's? What do you think of her suggestions? Let us know in the comments!......

Thanks to the voting efforts of our wonderful readers, SFist's Editors will be going to the San Francisco Bay Guardian Best of the Bay party at Club Six this Wednesday. We have to go through this curiously arcane RSVP process (no simple Evite for the Guardian!) to go to an earlier part of the shindig for "The Winners" (the real people start arriving at 9, you should totally go). We got a nice acknowledgement that......

An out of town SFist reader writes in with a question, and we need your help to answer it. Let's hear your recommendations in the comments! My daughter is visiting her sister in San Francisco for her birthday. I was wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions/links for birthday presents/things she could do (day spa's/relaxing things?). I am thinking about getting her tickets to the Pink Martini concert, possibly. She will be in......

Reader Andrew sends in this photo, confirming SFist Rita's Yvesdropping from earlier this week. Thanks, Andrew!......

Following up on our past posts on problems with Ocean Beach bonfires, SFist reader Owen has this to say (we added the links): The Golden Gate National Recreation Area is considering a total ban on bonfires at Ocean Beach. They spent approximately $90,000 last year cleaning up after beach fires and responding to law enforcement calls relating to them; neighbors and beach visitors have complained about hazardous litter (nails, glass, etc) on the beach,......

Thanks to reader Dylan for passing this fun pic of Gavin Newsom along! Send in yours if you're so inclined.......

We guess Old Navy didn't get enough bark for their buck at their Marina Green casting call for a new Old Navy Dog, as Friend of SFist James sent us these shots of yet another dog casting call in Duboce Park last Thursday.......

OK, so you know, we don't know who this is (maybe we'll hit Ireland's 32 on May 18 and find out!), we never recieved a demo from this person, and we got this one three times in the editors' box, and twice in our own. An embarrassment of riches, indeed. Hi there. Just wanted to introduce myself. I sent a demo in to you a while ago. wonder if it was listenned to. whatever.......

A few weeks ago we were having soy chai lattes with an editor of another media outlet, as he mused wistfully on his desire to run a column he called "Crackpot's Corner." In this column he'd feature some of the odder email and letters he recieved, both related and unrelated to anything in his publication. Unfortunately,his legal team advised him against such a thing, so this idea remained tabled. "Hey!" we thought. "Our legal......
