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!

SFist has passes to a sneak preview of Shopgirl, the new film based on Steve Martin's best-selling novella. (Yeah, Steve Martin is an author too, go figure.) The movie stars Mr. Martin as a rich fiftysomething who sweeps shopgirl Claire Danes off her feet, until floppy-haired bachelor Jason Schwartzman enters the picture and wacky hijinks/poignant moments ensue. Enter to win a pair of passes to a sneak preview screening at the Landmark Embarcadero Cinema at......

"What? This isn't the Beck show?" we heard a guy ahead of us in line cry out in the Great American ticket line last night. Nope, the sold-out show was for quirky folkster Sufjan Stevens, who's touring on the second of his albums dedicated to the American states, Illinois. (Beck was about five blocks down the street, at the Bill Graham.)
According to Asthmatic Kitty, the label that's putting out Illinois, they got an angry letter from DC Comics complaining about a picture of Illinois resident Superman on the cover art for Sufjan's album. They managed to work out a deal where they can sell the CDs they have but future albums won't have Clark Kent on them. So naturally, we ran to the merch table as soon as we got in, and, to our delight, they were selling off the CDs with the pictures of the Man of Steel. No, we didn't buy two (one to listen to, one to sell) -- but we thought about it!
Making the pre-concert settling-in process complete, we looked up from lovingly caressing our new purchase to see -- not only SFist Krissy, but also -- Jason Schwartzman! Well, it was either Jason Schwartzman or a guy with Jason's distinctive nose and bad posture, wearing an aqua tank top and swimming upstream with his posse to get closer to the stage.
uneven metered time, the Fighting Illini, a loud guy in the back, and a song about John Wayne Gacy, after the jump....

>...or is it a DCist cameo on SFist? Our sister site notes that one of our local boys, Adam Werbach, and his new group, the November 3 Theses have invaded their town to wheat-paste flyers on the doors of the DNC. Kind of like Martin Luther, except he had 95 theses and the November Thirders only have nineteen. ...
