Today, duped Vallejo mayoral candidate Gary Cloutier asked a judge "to place on hold the results of the Nov. 7 election, saying vote-counting irregularities cast 'a cloud of suspicion and doubt' over the recount that put his chief opponent Osby Davis on top by two votes." (Under "a cloud of suspicion and doubt," he said? OMG, we also get totally paranoid after a weekend of hard partying. Just pulverize two Ambiens into a 16... more ›

My Morning Jacket's newest live recording entitled The 2006-2007 New Year’s Eve Skit Picture Disc Skit (Could they pick a longer title?) is available now through the band's website. The recording is from their New Year's Eve performance at the Fillmore last year. If you were there, you would know that it was a "Oregon Trail"-themed performance. (OMG, how cool is that!) But we're curious, how do you pull off an "Oregon Trail"-themed party?... more ›

We could also use a Dunkin' Donuts. Failing that, the makers of Raweos could always set up shop next door.

OMG! We are SO hitting the big time! We've got two news appearances coming up: tonight at 5pm on KRON-4 and someday at sometime KGO-7. (Update! The KGO story may be delayed, or may not run at all -- their enthusiasm waned when they learned they'd have to share the story with KRON.) Both are in regards to our hard-hitting phonecammery, documenting the EARTH-SHATTERING CATASTROPHES that are Muni's casual standards. We'll be appearing on the "evening news," which is like a blog except you have to sit there for a half hour while someone reads it to you. more ›

Put the needle on the racket tonight. OMG, Jonathon Keats has done it again! He's an artist known for improving the metric system, selling parts of his brain and even fifth dimension real estate. (Full disclosure: We proudly have a title for a place in North Beach that we bought from the artist for under twelve bucks. He also did a broom art installation at our apartment that so rocks our Casbah.) Tonight, he gives local Fisters a chance to be geospacial DJs. We're not sure what that means, but it looks like hundreds of vinyl records will be spinning simultaneously tonight starting at 9:56 p.m. Potential tunes may come from the Beatles, Ella Fitzgerald, Madonnna and Mozart, and vinyl records will be given out on random street corners for the next week. How we wish we still had a record player. more ›

OMG did you hear? Gavin says Muni's totally going to be free from now on! Also, if you ask nicely, the drivers will let you steer for a few blocks; and they're going to remove the floors so that the passengers can run the buses with their feet like the Flintstones! more ›

Oh, you know how teenagers love to shop! SFLuxe found this picture of our mayor taking his 19-year-old (or is it 26?) squeeze of the moment, Ms. Brittanie Mountz, to the grand opening of the Westfield mall. "OMG, Gavin, let's stop by Claire's Boutique!" more ›

It was just a few months ago that we were celebrating the announcement of the opening of Orpahange Animation Studios, a new SF-based animation house that had roped Genndy Tartakovsky (of . We can only assume that they've just been SO hard at work on these projects ... and that's why they failed to notice that their studio's doman has expired. Whoops. more ›

Get ready to throw a cow-sized steak on the OMG WTF barbecue, because we've got Muni news that'll make your socks go up and down. You know NextBus? That thing that lets you know when the next bus is coming, so you don't have to memorize arrival times and count on Muni drivers adhering to schedule? And you know how NextBus only works right now for a couple of lines, like the 33 and 22 and the subways? Well, get this: it would take an engineer all of TWO MINUTES to make the NextBus website display arrival times for every single electric line. more ›

So we here at the blog round-up are practically ecstatic over our new cable modem, and we promise it's not just because we're reading former SFist Violet Blue's blog. (Which is definitely NSFW.)

Folks, you've just gotta learn to let it go: today's fourth-runner-up in the Great SFist Blotter Crime News Gathering (i.e., a frantic search of all the area news sites to find something interesting and not too morbid for your Tuesday or Friday am light reading) was the man found mysteriously dead at home. As it started out, Donald Frailey, a 66-year-old man in Woodside, had called 911 yesterday to report a beating and carjacking. When the cops raced to his house, he was already dead. However, he had no blood or bruising on his body. Weird! We were like, "OMG, this is just like the beginning of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! He was Avada Kedavraed! Lord You-Know-Who walks the earth again!" Then we found the story about the San Mateo woman with Alzheimers and put her in today's blotter instead. So later this morning, the Woodside cops announce that they've figured it out. Turns out Frailey had been involved in a road rage incident earlier that morning. A guy driving behind him (who he knew) was trying to pass him on Skyline Blvd., and Frailey kept speeding up. After the other driver cut in front, he claims Frailey then tailgated him. They pulled over, words were exchanged, and then the other driver grabbed Frailey's keys and threw them in the bushes. The electrician hasn't been charged with any crime (yet). The police think Frailey must have then walked the three miles home, and suffered a heart attack from the stress. Poignantly, the cops found a spare car key underneath the chair on which they found Frailey's body slumped. Well, on the bright side, at least it's not Lord You-Know-Who.

Hey, did you know that the San Francisco County Transportation Authority is thinking about speeding up transit on Van Ness by putting in dedicated bus boulevards? BUT WAIT DON'T CLICK ON THAT LINK IT MIGHT CRASH YOUR BROWSER! The SFCTA, in their wisdom, has placed two JPEGs on their page about the proposed Van Ness corridor; one is a picture of how the dedicated lanes might look (pretty), and the other is a mock-up of how the MUNI map might be changed (acceptably), and each image is a bone-crushing TWO MEGS. The map alone is 6344 by 4843 pixels -- several orders of magnitude greater than an average monitor is capable of displaying -- and was more than enough to completely crash our modest laptop. Great work, SFCTA. more ›

This is going to be a great day. First Tom DeLay gets indicted, and now this! The Examiner reports that Tom Ammiano and Chris Daly just got interviewed by the Daily Show!!!!! OMG! OMFG!!! OMFG!! You know in those segments how you always wonder, "who the heck would agree to be interviewed by Samantha Bee, anyways?" Well, now you know! Ammiano, a former stand-up comic, gamely answered all their questions about the gay-rights controversy over the USS Iowa and said he tried to be funny but that "they have total control over the camera." Ammiano also told his aides, "I think we're going to get punked." Daly, no doubt hardened by years and years of Matier and Ross mockery (and his own special archives category on SFist.com!), said, "I told them I didn't care if they made fun of me, as long as it's funny." (Oh man, Daly must hate us.) No word on when the segment's going to air -- but it's never too early to prepare! Your official SFist Daily Daly Show drinking game after the jump! (Sorry, Tom, it's Chris only.) more ›

Sometimes, video games journalists seem vaguely Colbert-ish: earnest, confident, utterly out of touch. (Case in point: G4's "Judgment Day," with the slogan "all verdicts are final" -- oooh, the verdicts are final, OMG, they're totally the new Judge Judy.) But we're cautiously optimistic about "Reset," a new gaming news/lifestyle show, locally produced by Big Love Productions. Anchors include trustworthy fragdoll Kat Hunter (whose work SFist likes) and Raymond Padilla (whom we don't know, but he has a pleasant email demeanor) as well as Zoe Flower (who's Canadian and therefore potentially awesome). It's damn near impossible to find quality reporting in video games journalism -- it generally either consists of inarticulate fanboys churning out bland feature-lists, or poindextery assclowns trying to fit Foucalt into a review so they can call it New Games Journalism. So far, "Reset" only has one episode online, but they seem to know what they're doing: low on rhetoric, big on content, what's not to love? more ›
