As far as we know, SFists Jackson and Krissy continue their tear though Austin, Texas at SXSW, but who the hell knows? We haven't heard from Krissy since yesterday (which might be an indicator of how reliant we are on her as an IM pal), and all we've seen from Jackson are increasingly incoherent emails. Is it the Island of Dr Moreau down there, or what? At least we have Austinist to keep us......

Sure, we know SFists Jackson and Krissy are going down to Austin for the South By Southwest conferences, but we suspect that they'll be too busy carousing to bring us reports with any reasonable accuracy. Instead, we'll be relying on our BFFs at Austinist for the scoop. They're even archiving all their SXSW 2006 coverage here, for super-easy SXSW news access. You'll also be able to find daily summaries and updates of their coverage......

Saturday: The only event for us is the IndieFest Benefit Party. Join our lucky pass winners, plus SFists Jackson, Eve, Rain and maybe (if we all beg her in the comments) Rita as we get our first look at what they're gonna be showing us at IndeiFest, as well as hear some great bands and DJs. It's all happening at the Rickshaw Stop at 8 p.m. Sunday: We're heading over to the Oakland Scottish......

Thanks to SFists Jackson and Eve for reading the weeklies last week! Last week's weekly of the week, as picked by you, our readers: The Guardian! Gerardo Sandoval continues his all-out media blitz, this time about Comcast (our main priority vis-a-vis Comcast is to get them to add Boomerang, the classic cartoon channel.) Where's our free wifi? A guy died in the SF jail (covered also by the Chron). Annalee Newitz on machinima (like fan fiction, but for videogame hacks). Cover: Oakland band Battleship (who get hit by firecrackers in their shows). Sonic Reducer: local bands go to a bar in LA and run into Lance Bass, Ryan Cabrera, and Courtney Love. The EBX: Bottom Feeder with an excellent Law and Order episode: a possibly-delusional woman who killed her husband, whom she met when she was a patient in his psychiatric practice, is defending herself and will be cross-examining her son. A paper targeted at the Oakland inner city and covering sex gossip, called BootyCrack! Bobblehead day at the Oakland Coliseum! Cover article: the overprescription of psychiatric drugs. And the allegedly-homophobic dancehall star Beenie Man comes to town and puts on a decent show. After the jump: the SF Weekly, and we go back to autocratically picking the weekly of the week....

Last week's winner, the SF Weekly: The Best Of ish! We nearly threw our back out getting it out of the box! So here we are, flip flip flip, feeling smug that we already know a bunch of the best of picks ("Best Nepalese food: Pssssh, of course it's going to be Little Nepal! We are too old school for this town!"), and -- holy crap! They gave us best local blog! Yipes, nowhere left for us to go but down. Full gloating will commence in separate posts -- but we would also be remiss in our solipsism if we neglected to mention the mention of this very column, so thank you very much, SF Weekly! (You know we only kid because we love.) In other news, readers vote Chris Daly worst local politician, and Golden Gate Bridge best local landmark. And hey, we get to send SFists Jackson and Eve to the big awards ceremony now too, right? Fun! Okay, it's not really all about us -- so we're moving on, to the East Bay Express: A kerrayyyy-zee letter from a person who wrote a book about cooking for a dog with food allergies. Why isn't the Oakland City Council race interesting? Cover article: a totally, totally fascinating article from a juror on the first Gwen Araujo trial about why they hung. Hilarious I Like Eating comic about the challenge that is Todai. And a dry-as-a-gimlet (are gimlets dry?) review of the Coldplay show. SFist Jackson's mainstream media debut and the pick of the week after the jump!...
