Tonight there will an interesting auction, for the Princess Project. It's a Bay Area non-profit that provides prom dresses and accessories to high school girls that could not otherwise afford them. Which sounds kind of not very important but just think about what a special night it will be for those girls who are suddenly able to have a nice dress to the prom. One could argue too, that this would make a great reality show for MTV but who cares about poor people when you can show rich, spoiled sixteen year olds. The auction will feature items from local businesses and will from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m., at Dolce in San Francisco....

Fess up, readers. One of you was at the Princess Project dress giveaway on April 1st and started opening your big mouth about SFist. Who was it? Fess! Because we kiss you, big mouth reader! Thanks to your blabbering we were contacted by Girls, Inc. of Alameda County who we've now come to love almost as much as we not-so-secretly love you. Why do we love them? It's right there on the home page:......

Am I the only one who found 2005 to be one of the fastest years on record? I can't even believe it's over - I remember it just starting. I didn't even get everything on my list done! Here's a more leisurely 2006! Politics - Voters rejecting the Governor was awesome but I'm still waiting for something, anything, to take down Bush. What the hell will it take?! Federal Government Department - We know......

Why, yes, we did grow up in Mayberry, why do you ask? Well, after we......
