[SFGate]Although all of their hair currently looks like warmed over shit, at least from what we glean on Valencia Street, here are your best hipster hair salons. [Gridskipper]Midgen hearts the trannies, and wants them to find jobs. [BAR]More Luisa Hanson controversy. [Eater]We have a Chick-fil-A. Yay! But it's in Fairfield. Boo! [Yelp]Former Clinton......

Aaron, what's going on? Things okay at home? You can tell us, man. Because: San Francisco Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin has been on a bit of a roll lately.

Number of times Angela Alioto referred to "Bessie," a 94-year-old homeless woman she's befriended: 6. Number of questions Gavin collected: 2 inches of cards (We'd estimate maybe around 100). Number of questions Gavin read: About 10 (grouped into categories, except for our question, which he did not......

Boris Delepine in Ross Mirkarimi's office wrote to let us know that the supe's team, the B.O.S. Hogs, beat the mayor's team, the Blues, in Softball on a chilly evening in the Presidio yesterday. The B.O.S. Hogs, composed mostly of aides to the supes, finished the regular season with nary a loss to their record, and the only actual supervisor on the team, Sean Elsbernd, is leading the league with an astonishing nine dingers......
