--Carnaval went well! --Jack Daly for mayor! Quote of the day: "Daddy, this party is no fun. Let's go to another party." Don't all the progressives say that? Bonus tidbit: Sarah Daly says there is no way Chris is running. --Fanime convention video. --What's going on with that Real Foods abandoned space on 24th Street? --Those whales finally got out of Sacramento and into the Bay Area (and are thus now fair game for......

Awww, cute! Here's a collection of pictures of the candidates posing with children -- from the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Kissing Babies. We don't know who these young moppets are, but look at those big smiles for Rob Black! After the jump: Jimenez's family, Drake's nephew, and Chris and Jack Daly. We couldn't find any pictures of any of the other candidates with kids in tow -- but if you've got......

This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Field. We don't understand why everyone else isn't nearly as obsessed with the District 6 election as we are. How can that be? Thank goodness for the Usual Suspects, who gallantly went out and actually did some research about who's running against Daly in November (only six more shopping months until ELECTION DAY!). So it's Daly versus the field! So who's the field? Well, there's the three people we've......

Rock me like a hurricane! Well, I already told you my favorite news posts of the year -- but what about the other stuff? So here goes: Best movie I saw for free for SFist Reviews: It's so exciting to go up to the box office and be like, "I have press passes!" I really liked the Wellstone! biography, and the Grace Lee Project is out of contention because I actually paid my own money to see that one -- but the one I still think about all the frickin' time is Chinese Restaurants: Three Continents. Why didn't I think of a career path that would oblige me to travel to exotic countries and eat Chinese food all the time? Best show I saw on the 'Fist: Joanna Newsom! Though the Sufjan show with SFist Krissy (and Jason Schwartzman!) is definitely a close second. Best celebrity I met this year: You know, I met a number of interesting folks this year -- but you know, I think I gotta go with Jack Daly. Jack for Mayor! Best Blotter: That ostrich running around on the Golden Gate Bridge, the same day the cops did that exceedingly-thorough search of Centerfolds was a pretty good Tuesday, we gotta say. That girl who sent out an APB about the stuffed mouse she tied to a runaway helium balloon was also hilar. Oh, no, wait -- we just found the entry about the tourist who accidentally rolled backwards down the crooked part of Lombard Street. We have a winner! ....and Coolest person, 2005: My co-editor Eve, of course! Find out my worsts, after the jump! ...
