Everyone else is getting their swerve on (dang, that light IS bright!) so we're jumping on the bandwagon. Here's where to go for the steamy haps tonight: Singles events are always awkward, but you've got it easy tonight with a killer line - Did you ride your bike to work today? Head over the supperclub for Date My Friend where the only (mandatory) catch tonight is that every attendee is single. $10 will get you......

We were browsing the Planned Parenthood Golden Gate website for information about the infamous HPV vaccine. (Yes, we’re too old to even get it. Yes, we’re confused about the whole vaccine and why it’s so expensive. And yes, we’re kind of sad that efforts to offer a vaccine in schools will most likely not happen). ...

Wow, there's a whole lot of benefits for worthy causes going on this weekend, as well as a head-spinning amount of other stuff to do: Friday that's tonight, and it's the kick-off for Creativity Explored's (3245 16th St. at Guerrero) Annual Holiday Art Sale, a bargain hunter’s paradise of original artwork by artists with developmental disabilities. And it’s all on sale for rock bottom prices – many items as low as $5. Creativity Explored......

"Individuals who enter homosexual unions cannot reasonably be expected to provide children with sound moral teaching," Father Gerald Coleman, rector of St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park, is quoted as writing in this month's issue of "San Francisco Faith: The Bay Area's Catholic Newsletter." Okay, we admit that some gays are not always responsible, and a meth-addled seeker of unsafe sex might be less suited for parenthood than, say, a dedicated spiritual leader. But......

How on Earth has San Francisco been getting by all this time without an Archibishop? Back in May, our old Arch-b got transferred to Rome, and we've been without a replacement since. But good news! Utah's giving us Bishop George Niederauer -- in fact, he's being installed today -- and despite being appointed by the Pope, the guy's not all that hostile to the gays. In fact, he seems downright friendly. Verrrrrry friendly. And he's......

SFist has seen our traffic spike since the change in calendars, setting a new record for sessions in a 24 hour period on Tuesday. We'd like to think that it's because of the incredible popularity of our SFist Cares feature (it should be), but we have a feeling it's because we've taken the WULAD approach to increasing our readership -- Britney Spears' baby, anyone? Speaking of which, this weekend marks the anniversary of Roe......

In light of that big hullabaloo that's going down in D.C. tomorrow, something SFist is trying as hard as possible not to think about (we prefer the hand over the ears and shouting "la-la-la" as loud as possible method), we have something that just might take your minds off of it -- according to news reports in England, Britney has been shopping at maternity stores and telling all the people there that she's nine months......

Well, on the bright side, at least someone around here won something. The only good thing about the Bush victory is that our adorable editor SFist Jackson won 1115.org's electoral map contest! SFist Jackson, horrified to see that he had called it as a squeaker for Bush (287-256, if our math is correct -- SFist Jackson says he got New Mexico, Nevada, and New Jersey wrong), asked in penance that his prize of an......

Everyone out here talks so contentedly about how we live in our little idyllic utopian blue-state liberal/progressive/left-wing bubble -- so it comes as that much more of a shock to learn that a pro-choice doctor who works for Planned Parenthood in Contra Costa county has been targeted by Operation Rescue. ...
