Before you head over to Dolores Park on Saturday to watch Andie, Iona, Blaine and Duckie on a big outdoor screen, be sure to pickup one of these whimsical Muni shirts. That's right, Sexpigeon will be selling his public transit fashions at Dolores Park between 12:30 to 4 p.m. They go for a mere $15 each (how cheap!) and come in four sizes (how open-minded!).

Mission Mission has word that the above Muni-infused shirts, conceived by Sex Pigeon, will be for sale at tonight’s Casiotone for the Painfully Alone concert at Bottom of the Hill. This is as high-glamor as it's ever going to get in Potrero Hill, so we recommend buying at least two of them.

We have the annual Carnaval shaking up the Mission District on Saturday and Sunday. The Festival runs both days on Harrison St between 16th & 22nd St from 10 a.m. to 6p.m. The Parade is on Sunday, starting at 9:30 a.m. at 24th & Harrison, going west along 24th St, then turning up Mission all the way to 17th St. Check out the Entertainment Line-up for both days.

Can you believe it's been a year since James Kim died in the Oregon mountains? We're very sorry to pass along the news that another Northern California family is missing in what we're hoping is not going to be another family holiday tragedy story.

Coming out of the Fall Out Boy/Gym Class Heroes/Plain White T's concert (which we'll cover later) we ran into the Invisible Children's van. Pete Wentz, an avid supporter of the organization that helps Uganda's children, talks about this at all of his concerts. He raises awareness and asks for donations, sells emo-inspired t-shirts, sweatshirts and anything else that 13 year-old fans want. (Kudos to him!) Apparently there is even a van that helps promote...

Each Tuesday we will feature new music that should (or whatever) be on your radar. Standouts: 1. Serj Tankian - Elect the Dead: With his newest single, "Empty Walls," System of the Down's front man sings a passionate protest against the war. He cleverly sets his newest video in a daycare juxtaposing the violence of day-to-day objects such as silly-string, bubbles, helmets, doll houses and even a fun-dome filled with hundreds of plastic balls. His...

There's nothing pedestrians love more than running into groups of college students clustering on the sidewalk with clipboards and messagey t-shirts, making intense eye contact and hollering, "HI OKAY WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAVE THE WORLD AWESOME YAY." Now at last can be one of those dreadful people, and on behalf of Barry "The Mad Bomber" Hussein Mussolini Obama!

It's our turn to read the Weeklies this week, and we start with SFist Sarah L's pick of last week, the newly-re-indied East Bay Express. Congrats! The letters hate on the UC Regents. Something about racial bias in contracting, we didn't really understand it. The story behind those "nappy headed hos" t-shirts at Bear Basics. Cover article: Some well-paid lackey of "Golden Pig" Don Perata. Bless their hearts at the EBX! They've also started summarizing their articles on their blog. We like the word "NeoXican." Book reviews! Daniel Handler v. the guy who wrote that You Suck vampire book. Pho in Oakland Chinatown. I Like Eating goes to a sports bar. Aaron Axelson compares Live 105 to Moneyball. And the EBX wins some writing awards, along with EBX alum and current SF Weekly editor Will Harper. Congrats!

Remember those days?

LA's The Love Movement, an art collective whose members are recent Philadelphia transplants, are changing the world with love and art—not in a hippy way, but in a hip way. They are wise beyond their years but fresh and innocent at the same time. They recently bought a well in West Africa, and Integrity Fashions had a piece of their artwork printed on t-shirts to draw awareness to the genocide in Darfur. Add them on MySpace to be part of the love and to stay updated on their latest projects. The Love Movement are having an art show called "Love Conquers All," a collaboration with the Love Bandits, on Saturday night at the fabulous Space Gallery, and they will be giving away free art. They invite you to come and "share the love."

As if we don't have enough wars going on, the first shots were fired in yet another war, that being the War on Easter. Five years ago, at the behest of a Jewish resident, Walnut Creek decided to take the Easter out of Easter and replace it with spring. So the Easter Bunny became the Spring Bunny, Easter Egg Hung the Spring Egg Hunt and so on and so forth. This was no big deal until somebody wrote into a newspaper complaining about it. And somewhere out there, Baby Jesus started crying.

The BAGeL Radio 4th Birthday Party was a blast last Thursday, with great music, cupcakes and even a reunion with one of our childhood best friends who we hadn't seen since we were three and a half feet tall. We saw great sets by Birdmonster and Division Day (unfortunately we missed Two Seconds) and a good time was had by all. Despite the fact that we killed BAGeL Radio for about five full minutes during our debut radio show last week (damn DRM), for some reason Ted still wants us around and our second show airs today at 4pm. Tune if you dare!

While reading the San Francisco Sentinel, we couldn't help but notice that Pat Murphy has made himself an extremely awesome personalized SFist t-shirt! (we don't have the rights to run the picture here, but it's the last picture on the page). LOVE! The San Francisco Sentinel IS First-Ist! Thanks for the support, Pat!

Last Friday, the Examiner got their hands on a bunch of statistics and a calculator and crunched a whole bunch of numbers about crime in the city. Their verdict is that curiously, the number of homicides has gone up but the number of people arrested for said homicides has gone down. It doesn't take a math major to realize that's not very good.

Today we're going to write about the Web site Wolfgang's Vault, one of those things we were always meaning to write about but never got the chance to. For various reasons which we'll get to later, we're going to write about it today.

Today's edition of the SFist Holiday Gift Guide is Upper Playground duffel bags. Better yet, in this Holiday Gift Guide, we have 10 gifts to give away so it means even that much more people can win.

Don't go buying your brand new "San Jose of Fremont by way of 92" or "Bay Area 49ers of Santa Clara" t-shirts just yet because we're still a long way off from the moving trucks appearing. Things just ain't as easy as it sounds.

Who was fortunate enough to see Sufjan Stevens last week?

Whoa! A lady gave birth on the side of 101 at Bailey Avenue near San Jose early Sunday morning. The father called in to 911 at around 2:50 a.m. saying he needed an ambulance, but called back one minute later to say the baby was born fine. The ambulance came anyway, to take them to the hospital and (very impressively), CHP cleared the ensuing traffic jam in less than 30 minutes.

As we promised earlier this morning, in response to SFist MattyMatt's brilliant suggestion -- it's Ask Chris A Question!

It's our column about the sartorial elegance that is the District 6 supervisor election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates A T-Shirt.

On a sunny day in 1991, Martin Hsu arrived in Los Angeles, and after five years of animation at CSUF went on to create the much loved character Ruby Gloom.

Last Friday night, Kathy Griffin, star of the Bravo reality show "My Life on the D-List" and heir apparent to the Sandra Bernhard/Joan Rivers style of snark and dish comedy -- without the singing and the dead husband -- brought down house at the Warfield with her second sold-out San Francisco show.

Onstage doing standup, Griffin is energetic and totally comfortable, with a loosely structured conversational routine that could seemingly go on forever. Her Robin Williams-like manic energy leads the audience on a frenetic, often disjointed, but always piercingly funny walkabout through American pop culture.

OK, so you need to know that we love Veselka. Maybe it reminds us of our grandmother's cooking, maybe it's the portions, maybe it's just a magical place, but we love it. We own two Veselka t-shirts and a few of their place settings. So we are overjoyed to hear that they now deliver, although this is a little disturbing. Can we sign a petition or something? And, how much do you think we'll have to tip to get them to deliver to Berkeley? Then, just when we had gotten over our nostalgiac swoon at seeing Veselka name-checked in a Bay Area blog, we surfed over to Eggbeater and had to wipe our drool off the screen and then head over to Poulet immediately, because, you see, we also love butterscotch, and couldn't agree more that it does seem to be, in fact, the forgotten sweet. We're glad Shuna's trying to counter that, one dessert at a time. (If all you know of butterscotch is Werther's Originals, Jell-O Instant Pudding or butterscotch chips then you definitely owe it to yourself to find out about the real deal.)

Who saw We Are Scientists at the Warfield last night? Perhaps the thing we like most about W.A.S. is how they make the most out of what they've got. They've trimmed the fat. There are no five-string basses or extraneous conga players. The drummer's kit is tastefully small. Everyone in the wiry trio does double duty, playing their instrument and singing along on harmony. And even though a lot of their sound relies on of-the-moment disco beats and dancey guitars, there's thought behind their songs and melodies. As much as we love their current record, we expect big things from the next one.

It's March, and that means all eyes are upon the sport of college basketball. And why not? College basketball is primal, peppy, loud, fun, historic, goofy, social, exciting, unpredictable, decisive, brave, clean, and reverant.

For those people feeling down that it's been weeks since the last good rally, cheer up, cause there's going to be a rally tomorrow in front of the Danish embassy. The Free Republic will sponsor tomorrow’s rally. The Free Republic? Yep, the Free Republic. As in one of the largest and most notorious conservative organizations in the land. As in an organization that has on its Web site a whole section titled "Pray for President Bush" and mean it in a completely sincere, non-snarky way. Do conservatives rally? Do they even know how to? Do they do drum circles? Will people hold up signs calling for the execution of Mumia? We thought they were too busy running everything to protest.
