Friend-of-SFist Matt V passes along these photos of a verrrrry safe looking taxi, sighted outside a Starbucks in the Abandoned Warehouse district of the Mission. "You choose what you pay," it says on the side, which is exactly how Lucifer would phrase an offer. more ›

That's right, we're heading straight from the final night of Another Hole In The Head to tonight's opening of Frameline 30, the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival. So many awesome film fests this summer, and we love them all! more ›

Wait 15 minutes, then drink two beers at once -- and join us for another installment of Dear Mr Ford, the column where we come to praise and bemoan Muni. Send said praise and moaning here! more ›

Remember when SFist Matt emailed Muni about the 21's schedule? Well, he followed up again, and here's what he learned: more ›

Wow, another year of SFist Reads seems to have whipped right by. Another year of online reserves checked out from the SF Public Library, another year of shopping at our fine local independent bookstores. As we here at SFist have eyes in the back of our heads, we happily look back over 2005 and ahead to 2006 for this year-end edition of SFist Reads. more ›

Saturday, there's the Canvas Gallery 5th Anniversary Party. $10 gets you in any time between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. for food and drink specials, live music, and the chance to rub shoulders with real live artists. more ›

We'll admit it -- we've been watching a lot of movies this week, and our reading has fallen by the wayside. However, our blissfully empty weekend is almost within reach, which means a trip to one of our local independent bookstores, as well as to the library to pick up our online reserves. Right now, all we want to do is lie in bed with the pets and a good book or three, so the weekend cannot come soon enough. more ›

We've been a bit remiss in keeping up with all our blog reading, or we would have caught this story on BoingBoing ourselves. But it was big enough to have been forwarded to us by friends of SFist Ross and Jeff. more ›

Remember how we warned people that hell hath no wrath like a blogger scorned? Well, in the interest of all that is weird and interesting and fun in this blogosphere we share, we'd like to direct your attention to an example of what we think could be called "player hating." more ›

Today is, of course, Festivus. And with Festivus comes the traditional airing of grievances. Not to mention acknowledgement that we stole the idea from the Daily Quickie column on ESPN.com’s Page 2. So, in celebration of the most holy of holidays, we here at Sfist would like to air our grievances. more ›

SFist enjoys going to literary events for a number of reasons, the least of which being that being at an actual book signing or reading makes us realize that these author are "Just Like Us", thus fueling our dreams of quitting our day job and going on book tour. more ›

Our idea of being a foodie outlaw is eating ribs in front of a vegetarian or putting chicken on pizza (which we're still not entirely comfortable with). Cheap thrills, we know -- but with thrills, you get what you pay for. more ›

Every visit to the library is like your favorite secular or religious holiday when you reserve books in advance from the San Francisco Public Library. Or, if you want to hand on to your books, how about purchasing them from one of our local bookstores? more ›

We were simply dumbstruck by how gigantic the crowd was - it just kept coming...and coming...and coming. The best bit came when the head of the procession passed by the strikers at The Palace Hotel on New Montgomery. For a couple of minutes, the giant crowd paused in the street and joined the shouts of the workers - oh, those uppity San Francisco liberals; they've never met a protest they didn't like. But joking aside, it was pretty remarkable to see a small 20-person strike line swell its numbers fifty-fold within a matter of moments. In case there was any doubt, the strikers want contracts, they want them now, and a crowd of 1,000 people think that they should get just that. The march was organized by International Answer, which keeps itself plenty busy 'round these parts and would be very pleased to have your support. more ›
