Kids, it's time to get rocking. (Especially before the "Private Party" dry spell that is coming on. Yikes.) This week, the San Francisco music gods are offering a vast array of newbies and veterans - something that we will graciously partake of any day of the week. Now that the bets are in (okay, so no one really cast any bets - how boring is that?), you can go to Cafe du Nord, tonight,......

Ahhh, the lazy days of summer keep on keeping on, yet the commentary here on SFist continues to be fast, furious, fierce, and even funny. We like when you talk back to us about stuff--some of our favorite comments from last week follow....

We're both flattered an saddened by our witty betters at Gawker -- flattered that they stole our idea to spotlight comments (not that we're especially innovative in doing so, but still); a little saddened that theirs is already so much better in its execution. Depressing, yet we soldier on, because many of your thoughts deserve to be read a second time. Here's this week's top 5....

We're going to do this a little differently this time around as we don't know who really cares that much about either team right now. Instead, we're going to point out why you should still care. So here’s our Top 5 Reasons to Still Watch the Giants. ...

Hey, everyone -- once again, it's your contributions that have put the sheen on the apple that is SFist. Check out your editors' picks for Top 5 comments of the week -- and enjoy!...

For those of you that haven't seen the Top 5 feature before, this is where we recognize you guys for adding to -- or, in many cases, spawning -- the discussion on SFist's comment threads. Our inbox was flooded after we accidentally skipped last week, and we apologize; accordingly, we're highlighting a few extra for this week. It was appropriate though: you guys raised the game even higher than usual, so there's even more to highlight....

You guys know what this is about by now: our readers' commentary is the sheen on the apple that is SFist, and we like to recognize those whose input has amused, educated, or otherwise titillated us every week. Our choices for last week's Top 5 follow....

Plenty of interesting stuff happened in San Francisco last week, and our readers, as always, added funny, insightful, and interesting angles to the stuff we wrote about. Our fabulous five for last week -- the first week with a new guy in the top spot! -- follows....

Hey folks, we're back again with our favorites amongst the comments and opinions you, the readership, made about SFist's stories that ran the week of July 1. Despite the weird holiday schedule, there was plenty of excellent conversation. ...

The "!" is because we've been out of town and we're so, so excited to be back. So, it looks like folks are settling nicely into the new comments system. While we appreciate those of you making "guest" comments as well, we especially appreciate those of you that are taking the time to register. The Top 5 for last week were:...

Folks, we gotta be straight with you -- this probably should have been the "Top 5 Douches of the Week," because there were a hell of a lot more memorably nasty comments than good ones. Even so, there were some gems this week, some high-level discussion where people brought the insight, the knowledge, or the funny--for everyone's betterment....

Hi, folks -- welcome to the latest edition of the Top 5. As SFist is community driven, we enjoy picking out some of the best comments that you folks contributed -- the ones that raised the discussion level, taught us something we didn't know, or made us laugh. This week, commentary on Ed Jew, Western Addition Shootings, the budget, and more made the Top 5. ...

Hey, everyone -- here are the semi-arbitrary Top 5 Comments of the Week. For this, our fourth week of doing it, we thought it'd be a swell idea to try it out in easy-to-access text form. See below for commenters whom SFist's editors thought raised the game, made us laugh, or were otherwise notable, and click through to read the actual comments as written....

Wow, are we up our THIRD Top 5 Comments of the Week Podcast already? This one is super-special, as we introduce a few sound effects. Slowly crawling into the 20th century here. In any case, check out the podcast to find out exactly which funny, witty, and/or informative comments made by Suckafree, Seamus Furr, el Greco, Persona non Bergman, and Bikescape made the cut!...

Hey everyone -- episode two is in the can for your listening pleasure information. Thanks everyone for your contributions; this week we turn our white-hot spotlight onto Kerbot2000, KWillets, "T", Marc, and classydave. Tune in for specifics on which of their comments, regarding which of our stories, made the cut....

Hi, folks -- as promised, here's our very first "Top 5 Comments Of The Week Audio Podcast." ...

The coolest thing about writing for SFist is that often we introduce a topic, then all of y'all weigh in with insightful opinion, crazy knowledge, or even some amusing smarminess. The groupmind of active SFist participants really makes for some excellent reading, whether it's about bumblebees, celebrity gossip, Muni issues, or politics. We thought it was high time to highlight your efforts, folks....

Today's random survey comes to us from Men's Health which listed San Francisco as the #1 city in their "Top Five Cities to Find a Mate" survey. San Jose is listed at #3, making this neck of the woods the hook up capitol of the country. San Jose was also listed as one of the Top 5 best cities for hooking up by Jane Magazine (don't ask us how we know that) but SF was nowhere to be seen (couldn't find a link, but trust us on this). ...

Okay, deciding on the Worst MUNI Line is easy. Like shooting the proverbial fish in a barrel. And the barrel is really tiny and the fish are really slow and kind of dumb and you have semi-automatic weapons. So let's do something more difficult, figuring out the Best MUNI Line. ...

We continue and conclude our interview with Dan Leone, San Francisco icon and food writer extraordinaire at the Guardian. If you haven't read it yet, Part I is here. Part II is where we ask our fav food reviewer about food. And the butter song. Since Last Tango we have been oddly fascinated with butter, so you know we had to ask. And we were not disappointed, oh no. Butter my brother, mmmm... Any......
