Meet Vince Cava, the lucky winner of Jed York's Twitter ticket giveaway sweepstakes contest-thing. After apparently setting up a twitter account for the express purpose of tweeting at the Niners President and CEO, the lucky winner beat out countless other entries with his description of an emotional Saturday in the delivery room: more ›

Although tickets don't go on sale until Wednesday, twitter-friendly Niners President and CEO Jed York wants to make sure one lucky member of the faithful gets a seat at the NFC Championship game. In a tweet this afternoon, York wanted to know why he, benevolent rich person that he is, should give one lucky fan four tickets and pregame field passes to this Sunday's matchup with the New York Giants. The best answer (tweeted at him, we assume?) by Tuesday at 5 p.m. wins the Jed York Hashtag Niner Faithful NFC Championship Package.

In lieu of the NFL trying to trademark the words "Big Game," we are going to do our best to honor them by using the phrase "Big Game" as much as possible. -The Warriors once again get blown out on the road, this time to the Chicago Bulls in their BIg Game. Even Don Nelson seems to be throwing in the towel about playing in all of those Big Games in the playoffs. more ›

As SFist Krissy pointed out, the New Pornographers (who, presumably, aren't all that pornographic) are doing a free in-store at Amoeba this evening. Or check out Erik Nakashima's art at his "Baked Goods" show. Also free, also music (live jazz) but we're intrigued by the fact that there are 'refreshments' and it's at Tartine. more ›
