A movie about local filmmakers wrangling with local politicians? We are so there! more ›

Yeah, we know, technically Passover has nothing to do with Moses receiving the Ten Commandments (that's Shavuot), but it's sort of related. We just think it's a good enough excuse to bust out one of our favorite Mel Brooks routines. more ›

Yep, it finally happened. The Mighty Stephen Colbert finally let us better know a district we actually know, that being "The Fighting 6th" of California. That district, of course, is Marin County and Sonoma and the congressperson is our very own Lynn Woolsey. And all this despite our little Nancy warning her minions to stay away from Colbert. more ›

One of the best things about being Jewish is all the random holidays on random nights that totally gives you the excuse to go party on nights you normally wouldn't go party on. Case in point is this Sunday which is Shavuot. Shavuot, which means "Feast of Weeks," commemorates Moses receiving the Fifteen Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai and is also traditionally a celebration of the harvest time. As part of the holiday, we Jews are supposed to stay up all night to study the Torah. But if that's not exciting enough for ya, you could also stay up all night and party all night long (all night). more ›

Several weeks ago, SFist vented about our number one pub trans pet peeve. This week, we want to vent about our second biggest pub trans pet peeve. Consider this a sequel, kind of a Move to the Back of the Bus: Electric Boogaloo. The peeve this time? People who don't walk up the left side of the escalator. Granted, this isn't necessarily a public transportation situation. Escalators are everywhere- at the Metreon, at Virgin, at the opera- but the situation seems to mainly bug whenever it involves MUNI or BART. Maybe because it's more pronounced. Or maybe it's because we're in more of a hurry because we've once again overslept. Or maybe it's because we like walking up the escalator because it makes us feel like we're exercising when in reality we're too lazy to take the stairs. But wherever it takes place, people who don't walk on the left side of the escalator suck. Isn't the whole the-left-side-is-for-walking a general rule? Isn't it one of the Universal Truths? A little known addendum to the Ten Commandments? Shouldn't the offenders realize something's up by the constant stream of people shoving past them muttering "excuse me, excuse me"? more ›
