We're not quite done with the Matt Cain love around here. Last night, the arm behind the first perfect game in franchise history called in to Letterman, live via satellite from Angels Stadium in Anaheim, to deliver The Late Show Top Ten. Here's Cain, as goofy and giggly as we've come to expect from anyone on the Giants, reading "Things I Want To Achieve Now That I've Thrown a Perfect Game." Observe:

Actually, we wouldn't be all that surprised if an organic vegetable garden sprouted up somewhere in AT&T park. Anyhow, Cain faltered a little bit in his first start since last week's outing against the Astros. Despite a couple of rough innings Cain held on to a 5-3 win over the Angels.

And because it deserves repeated viewing, here's video of that final out that lead to the franchise's first perfect game, ever. Enjoy:

Here at SFist we like to think of ourselves as givers. We give. You take. Again and again. So here you go, we're doing our part. We've got a pair of tickets for you to check out Mike Birbiglia at Cobb's on the eve of Halloween (yes, Tuesday, the 30th).

Mike is one very funny guy-- and nice enough to do a SFist interview. Which makes us feel pretty good since he's a regular on Letterman and Conan. So yes, we're in a good place right now, being a giver, and talking to the Stars. If only we could figure out what to be for Halloween...

Feeling Lucky? Enter by noon on Monday.

What's your take on the comedy scene in the Bay Area?
San Francisco has enough great comedians. It was a tough city to break into they don’t really need imports. Let’s just say there may be more creative people in the Bay Area than in Nebraska City, Nebraska. Is that a place?

Any advice to aspiring comedians?
Don’t be afraid to spend $80 on gas to make $50 to perform. And keep telling yourself that it’s going better than it is.

What makes a joke funny?
I think a grain of truth posed in a way the audience has never considered. Also, bananas and farts and the word “snausages” are very funny.

Is there anything that is not funny?
Well, in many instances comedy and humor are really devices for coping. In my life I’ve laughed at funerals, and with sick relatives in the hospital. We laugh to keep from crying. I believe that’s from Langston Hughes. Or Abrahams Lincoln. But you can credit “Mike Birbiglia.”

The Mission Creek Music Festival is still going strong and shows continue through Sunday. Although MCMF's press folks hadn't ever heard of SFist ("Is this a radio station? We're only giving tickets to radio stations.") we're big fans of this festival that's presenting tons of great music over ten days, much of which is from our best local artists. We salute founder Jeff Ray for keeping it going into its eleventh year.

On to this week's show recommendations: Tonight we're really excited to see Birds & Batteries at the Hotel Utah. Their album Selections from Nature vs. Nature has been on heavy rotation for us, and we can't wait to hear the new record they've been working on. They play tonight with Sky Pilots, Low Red Land and Conrad Ford. Over at 330 Ritch, Popscene presents Midnight Movies followed by Popscene prom at midnight. Mission Creek presents a show with the velvety vocals of Petracovich at Make-Out Room. Petracovich's Jessica Peters reminds us a bit of The Cardigans' Nina Persson's gentler, folkier moments.

Download Petracovich's "Telephone" and "Summer Trees"

On Friday, Death Cab's Ben Gibbard, Pedro the Lion's David Bazan and Johnathan Rice strip songs down to their bare essentials at the Fillmore. On Saturday at 2pm head to Amoeba to see a free show by San Francisco's Or, the Whale. That night, we recommend either of these two great Mission Creek shows: Lavender Diamond and The Watson Twins with Winter Flowers at the Independent, or over at the Hemlock catch King Kong and Port O'Brien. We'll be at Great American to see our friends in The Knitters.

Watch The Knitters perform "Burnin' House of Love" on Letterman.

Inspired by Santarchy and Bad Santa, a bunch of people have started up their very-own Easter themed bar crawl, the Bad Bunny Bar Crawl. For those of you who missed it (including ourselves because NOBODY TOLD US ABOUT US), here's some photos of the event.

You know, the whole thing reminds us of an old David Letterman bit where he'd have people dressed in bunny suits do all sorts of crazy things in New York to see what kind of reaction they'd get. The bit worked for the simple reason that people dressed in bunny suits is comedy gold.

Special thanks to catsilvestre and Darius Miranda who's photos we grabbed.
