I was going to compile a top ten list for the year, but then I remembered I hate end-of-the-year top tens. Or should I say, I hate writing them. My memory ain't what it used to be, and I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, let alone a TV show I watched back in February that I liked enough to write about again. Also, I'm really, really lazy. So, much like I......

SFist Mary Ladd tells us what it's like on the other side of the buffet line! We need to relax, pronto! A killer gig of taking care of other people -- otherwise known as catering -- leaves us with sore muscles, red eyes, and a smile on our face. Say Wha?

When a friend from the other side of Bernal Hill called and asked if we......

That's right, we finally have an excuse to link to Page Six, just like the kids over at Gawker do every day. Seems like our beloved Phil Bronstein "looked awfully cozy" with Mick Jagger's star-crossed ex Jerry Hall (pictured) at the Finn & Porter in Austin's Hilton. Of course, the nice woman Phil was escorting home from the Edinburgh Castle Pub after the Hunter S. Thompson wake wasn't Ms. Hall, but we're going to......
