• Lucas (1986), Say Anything (1989), My Bloody Valentine (1981): The first film has socially-retarded Corey Haim falling head over heels in love with a sensitive football player, Charlie Sheen, or something like that; Cameron Crowe's tale of teenage love and angst has John Cusack causing egregious noise pollution when he holds up a ghettoblaster pumping out a Peter Gabriel ballad; and the final film has a murderer in a small coal mining town killing those who celebrate Valentine's Day. They screen at 7:30 p.m., 9:45, and midnight, respectively, at the Castro Theatre; $6-9.
• Editors: Yeah, yeah. We screwed up. Again. The SSRIs are running low this week. Stupid shrink. Anyway, check out this English indie rock band along hipster favorites Hot Hot Heat and Louis XIV. Music starts at 8 p.m. at the Warfield; $23.
• The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition's Love on Wheels: As SFist Jim mentioned before, tonight's Dating Game parody in Hayes Valley should be divine. Starts at 7 p.m. at Rickshaw Stop; free for members of the SFBC ($10 for non-members).

Happening on Castro and State streets over the weekend, where Gus Van Sant's Milk is currently shooting, it started out with the words "Harvey + George" (with a hearts!), "The Penn is lying" (Leigh Wolf, say it ain't so!), and the oddly and for no reason URL-y "Dan White.com, faggotkiller."

Can you read that? SFist Jim got some pictures of Ed Jew's statement at the Herrera press conference earlier today. We've taken the liberty of uploading it (page 1, page 2) to our Flickr account if you want to see the whole thing.

Here's what we got from a quick email from SFist Jim, at the Herrera press conference (thanks, Jim! Mmmm-whhhahhh!):

SFist Jim reports that he went to the reopening of the San Francisco Zoo today, where he snapped the picture, above, of the tributes being placed at the zoo's tiger statue, and which he described as "a big bust." When we first read SFist Jim's email, we thought he was talking about the tiger statue (we were like, "they made a bust of Tatiana? So fast!"), but no, he meant the crowds, which were sparse to the point where there was more media there than zoo visitors.

Bon voyag-ee, Cosco Busan! And don't come back! The leaky Cosco Busan ship that contaminated our beautiful bay with oil is expected to get clearance to get the heck outta Frisco, setting sail at noon today to head back to South Korea.

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

(.wav file. You know, that Law and Order sound!)

Tomorrow, ESPN will take a break determining whether Tom Brady is more Now than LeBron is and feature a town hall type thingy in San Francisco on the issue of Barry Bonds and the Hallowed Record. Despite ESPN's increasing descent into annoying shtick and hype, this should be pretty interesting as it's being hosted by "Outside the Lines" host Bob Ley, one of the few ESPN "personalities" with any integrity left. It's supposed to be a discussion on all things Barry, including race, Bud Selig's complicitness in the mess, how tainted the record is, and a whole bunch of other things. The panel will feature a bunch of writers including ESPN's excellent Buster Olney and "Game of Shadows" Lance Williams as well as Barry's ex teammates Kirk Rueter and Ellis Burks as well as Dusty. Jeff Kent will not be participating.

But a few chips of yellow paint remain of Gmzeeo (OK, fine -- "Amaze.") Alas. Hooray for many; sob for a very few.

We were so relieved when we ran into SFist Jim yesterday at the SF Symphony Dolores Park concert, because we knew his pictures would be so much better than ours! (His gorgeous shot is above; all we had on our camera were some blurry pictures of dog butts.)

Today's news in refuse:

What with all the Ed Jew Borderline and guy taking off his nose business at our city's seat of government, we almost missed some interesting news about the Market/Octavia onramp of bicyclist injury! The Board of Supes has authorized local transit people to put in a raised median strip at the rightmost lane at the intersection, to discourage people from illegally turning onto the highway.

It's been awhile since we had some Ed Jew news! Lying low, huh?

SFist Jim stopped by today's rally to support Gavin Newsom's crusade against bottled water, and reported turnout was a little low. They handed out some promotional material about why tap water is better for everyone, which you can read here.

In flipping through today's Examiner, SFist Jim snapped a picture of this picture, underneath the article about the Newsom-Daly drug use fight. We recognize Gavin Newsom, sure, but who's that other guy? That doesn't look like Chris Daly at all!

Mayor Gavvy-Gav's finally gotten through the City Attorney's report about Ed Jew, and he's none too happy about it! This is cutting into Jennifer Siebel cuddle time!

What's Ed Jew doing today, now that he's been excused from jury duty? This has got to be the first time anyone's been to get San Francisco jury duty, ever.

What we're even more excited about, though, is the following Tapioca Ed sighting we received word of, from a reader from the San Francisco courthouse jury summons room!

Here's a weird tale of yet another car-on-bike hit-and-run at perennial danger spot Octavia and Market, off ABC 7. (More details at CBS 5 too, plus a video clip.)

Good thing we've got so many awesome Ed Jew rally pictures from last week -- so we can keep you up to date on the latest on Tapioca Ed!

You guys are THE BEST. Thanks for all the great pictures of today's Ed Jew rally outside City Hall!

--Michael Moore loves Gavin Newsom.

Check out how awesome SFist Jim's pictures of today's Frog Prog Con are, without all of our tedious snark getting in the way of your enjoyment!

In the taunting words of non-progressive Pat Murphy: do it, Lumpy! We stopped by the Progressive Convention where basically, on a schedule running about 90 minutes behind, everyone who's anyone in local politics stopped by and, after some exciting build-up in the form of a campaign speech by Ross Mirkarimi..... -- no one ended up deciding to run against Gavin Newsom. As Calitics puts it: Exasperating.

Esther Hwang picked a bad day for a press conference -- normally, the media would be all over the former Willie Brown secretary turned cheesecake model turned San Francisco Law School student discussing the $1 million lawsuit she's filed against the SFPD for alleged brutality against her outside a North Beach bar -- but with everyone distracted by Ed Jew's flight from the law, Carole Migden's cancer-related bad driving, and in a city that now expects out of its mayoral girlfriends underage drinking, sordid affairs with best friends' wives, and/or misjudged blog commentary, Ms. Hwang's press conference seemed like a quaint trip in the San Francisco wayback machine to the last century.

SFist Jim is going to kill us, since he sent us these pictures on the promise that we'd write something up about the panel that Sen. Leland Yee (above) and Assessor Phil Ting appeared on the other day about the dangers of foreclosure and predatory loans -- but we just think this picture is awesome. Whatever happened to that website "Are You Kidding Mee," that was devoted solely to the various scrapes that Leland Yee had gotten into?

Because nothing brightens the day like dogs in bunny ears.

Here's a picture post of yesterday's anti-war protest
