An employee and a customer were wounded this morning after a shooting outside a North Beach strip club. The incident happened just after 1 a.m. outside Broadway Showgirls located at 412 Broadway, a venue described as "classy " by a few Yelpers.. The two victims were taken to San Francisco General Hospital. Both are expected to survive. This drive-by shooting, speculates NBC 3's Cheryl Hurd (who, by the way, we just love and wish we we saw more of), may be the result of an ongoing feud with Showgirls and a club down the street. No arrests were made. more ›

Remember the man accused of killing two strip club patrons earlier this week in Sunnyvale? Well, last night the suspect, 29-year-old Matthew Andrew O'Reilly, was spotted by the fuzz, a chase ensued onto the westbound Interstate 380, O'Reilly crashed right into the center divide at El Camino Real, and then turned a gun on himself. more ›

We don't know about you, but it's friggin cold out there. Well, not for some of you. It seems as though places that are supposed to be cold are warm and places that are supposed to be warm are cold. Or maybe that's just us. Either way, we're freezing. more ›

More hijinks at the Lusty Lady, and this time, not union-related! A Cal football player has been suspended from the team after he got in a fight with a bouncer at the famed feminist strip club. Last weekend, the player allegedly entered into a video booth while his friend (whom the player called his "agent," even though the player's not currently represented) demanded they be given two prostitutes. When they were denied, Lusty Lady reps say the player became violent and called the bouncer a racially-derogatory name as well as a homophobic one. (We know, we're being so coy.) Some of the fight was caught on a security camera. The Berkeley athletic department is investigating, but the football player says, "[The bouncer] tried to portray me as someone who’s racist, I'm not. Tried to portray me as someone who’s egotistical, I'm not." more ›

Thanks to the Matier & Ross, who basically just cribbed a story in the Bay Guardian for today's column (hey, that's our job), the story about the Lusty Lady is becoming the topic du jour. It involves strippers, lawyers, and drunk horny guys-- how could it not? more ›

Wednesday night, a San Francisco commission is all set to take up one of the pre-eminent issues facing our fair city-- private booths in strip clubs. For those who have never frequented a strip club (we, of course, find strip clubs exploitive of women and those photos that circulated around the internet of SFist at the strip club are totally false and it wasn't our idea and we didn't pay for it!!!!), private booths are places where you can go and get a "special" kind of lap dance for extra money, all depending on the amount of money. Hey, sometimes you need a little privacy. The issue is whether to allow them or not. more ›

Shanghaiist probably knows a little more about China than the Chicago Sun-Times. Giving them the benefit of the doubt on that one. The city does to have a music scene. Don't even front like they don't. They also have Dorito bananas and white guys shopping for wives. What they don't have is any more tolerance for jaywalkers. more ›

Police are reporting that the man who caused the horrific Castro car fires last week may have suffered a seizure while driving down the Castro Street hill. He was still driving, even though he'd had a seizure three months earlier. That's really not good. Police haven't named him, but ID him as a 50-year old wine merchant from Paso Robles. more ›

Break for freedom! An ostrich escaped from a truck crossing the Golden Gate Bridge during yesterday's commute, much to the entertainment of everyone except its owner. There is certainly no denying that the picture is hilarious. That strip club Centerfolds was held up in an attempted armed robbery yesterday. Even though they didn't make off with any money, about five zillion cops showed up, including a SWAT team and a bomb squad -- just in case! "Ma'am, we'll need to do a verrrry thorough search." Hee! (Okay, to be fair, they thought the robbers might still be in the building, but come on -- hysterically funny to see a huge swarm of interested-looking cops congregating outside Centerfolds!) And there was a bomb scare in the Haight yesterday too, on a no. 7 bus. It turned out it was just a toolbox someone left behind -- but you know the bomb squadders who deactivated it were bummed that they weren't on the Centerfolds detail instead. ("Ma'am, we'll have to do a verrrry thorough search.") The Sentinel has their usual crack reporting and photography for both SFPD events. more ›

We love this town, because it sucks talent from the hinterlands like a sponge. Okay, we kid. But a relatively recent arrival to the Bay is Matt Mullenweg, AKA PhotoMatt, AKA WordPress Matt, AKA Ping-O-Matic Matt...you get the idea. He's a talented mofo. more ›

So whatever happened to those 135 people who ran for governor in the 2003 recall election? Well, a bunch are in the Bay Area news today! Cue up the end-of-the-movie montage movie music and let's go. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the guy who won, snuck back into San Francisco yesterday to give a speech to the newspaper publishers' convention. Never fear, the nurses, firefighters, and other state employees against the recall found out about it in time to send 100 protestors out to the Fairmont. You can tell he was upset about it because he made that same lame joke about seeing protests when he proposed to Maria Shriver. Tiii-red. Also, he's spending all day today apologizing for frightening his handlers by saying we should "close the borders" to Mexico. Oops! And how about that Scott Davis, the recall candidate from Palo Alto, running as an independent to promote organ donation? Yeah, we didn't remember him either -- until it was revealed today that he might be close to being arrested for a 1996 murder in Atlanta, of a guy who was dating Scott's ex-wife. In other, non Bay Area candidate updates: Mary Carey the porn star was arrested in a raid last week at a strip club in Washington State. (She came in 10th in the election). Gary Coleman's been attending the Michael Jackson trial. No word on what the ferret guy's been up to, though. more ›
