The Red Sox has permeated nearly every facet of Bostonist's lives. When they're not live-blogging the games, waxing poetic about the games, thanking Curt Schilling for his splendid work, or telling Dane Cook to watch his hair, they're watching certain presidential candidates hop on the Red Sox bandwagon (sorry, Gothamist). The Sox are so branded on the local brain that people are using the Series to spice up their sex lives. Speaking of spice, Bostonist is really sick of that taco promo. And, while they're proud of John Williams, Bostonist is still trying to figure out Williams' "Very Special Arrangement" of the "Star Spangled Banner."

This morning a press conference was held in front to City Hall about this Saturday's March to End the War Now. The parade (grumble), which will start at City Hall and drain into Dolores Park (next to the worldwide Michael Jackson choreography routine), will be honored with its own day. It seems that the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution making October 27 "End the War in Iraq" Day. (And that day only.) Hopefully, Newsom won't wuss out and pull the resolution like he recently did with el Snoop Dogg.

Yesterday, we got a press release touting the fact that the city was going to issue a proclamation to Perry Mann, founder of the Exotic Erotic Ball, and Snoop Dogg. Our reaction? Get! Out! But after the news was released, bigger wigs got together and basically decided "what the frak are we thinking?" and so the proclamation was taken back.

Conan, we hardly knew ya.

Did you get your tickets?

--Hey, did you see we got our Blogroll back? Down in the drop-box menu at the very end of the left hand column. We can go back to trolling those links for items for Day Around The Bay again! For instance -- check out N Judah Chronicles's pop-up MUNI car!

thiefofhearts.jpg SFist Jon forwards along the following news item: The art and antiques store Phantom*SF at 18th and Castro's in a tough spot about the coffee-table sculpture the owner's displayed in the window, of a well-muscled, well-hung man. The store owner has been told to cover the statue completely or face pornography charges -- which is a problem because the owner has hung the price tag on the tip of the.... well, you know. Apparently some neighborhood families don't want their kids seeing that sort of thing (though it's unclear what the store owner will do about the David statue he has in the same window as well). The owner, Bevan Dufty, the cops, and the DAs are all unsure about what to do next. Dufty suggests "dialogue" (always the last refuge of the wicked!). A big rig filled with fish overturned around 3 a.m., closing down southbound 880. Since 880's always such an easy and uncongested commute, we're sure this has had no impact on the morning commute. From Death Row records to an actual death row -- Snoop Dogg's going to be protesting for the clemency of Stanley "Tookie" Williams. Williams, who founded the Crips gang, was convicted of killing four people in 1979, and is scheduled to be executed at San Quentin on Dec. 13. No governor has granted clemency for the death penalty since it was reinstated in California in 1978.
