It's almost time for Super Duper Awesome Zowie Crazy Blowout Insane-O Nuts Extrav-o-Rama Tuesday primary day for California! Feb. 5! So are you going Barack or Hillary? Walnuts or Mittens? Go ahead and vote for Dennis Kucinich anyways, or go back to Nader? And what about Ron Paul? In all the presidential primary madness, though, don't forget the other sections of the ballot, where the state and local propositions are going to get decided.......

And concluding our series of Your Overly Simplistic Guides To The November 2006 Election, here's the SFist guide to the San Francisco propositions. (Here's our take on the state propositions and the Oakland city propositions, for those of you keeping track.) If you're looking for better-informed information than the cursory one-sentence summaries we're going to provide to you after the jump, check out the SF Dept. of Elections and the San Francisco League of Women......

It's that time of the season again! SFist proudly presents our poorly researched, semi-annual Guide to the Propositions (state). We'll post the San Francisco proposition guide as soon as we wade through that guidebook next As always, post your thoughts, corrections, and challenges to our supposed neutrality in the comments. [As you may remember, we have a mandate of nonpartisanship from our publisher, which is why we're never supposed to take sides on anything.] Okay!......

Thank you, gentlemen, your time is up! This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Debate. It was pretty crowded in the Koret Auditorium for the League of Women Voters District 6 candidates' forum -- even though we were one short of the full eight (Davy Jones was a no-show). The seven candidates were crammed all together at two tables, and due to the tyranny of alphabetical order, Rob Black and Chris Daly were forced to......

RESOLVED: That you want to become more informed about the issues in the local SF elections. So we're trying to compile a handy-dandy list of all the forums we can find, arranged by district and by date -- but we can barely find anything out there! So we're posting what we've got, and asking everyone else to post other dates in the comments if you've got any. See you guys at the debates -- we'll......

Rockin like Dokken -- what's on tap? Today: Did you know the SF Public Library sponsors film events? Tonight's screening is the film "Mission Movie," which follows a group of neighbors through everyone's favorite neighborhood as dot-com gentrification starts to settle in. Oooh, we hope Nestor Makno makes a cameo! FIlm starts at 6, in the auditorium of the Main Library.
Thursday: You can either check out Tuvan throat singers at 7 p.m. at the Asian Art Museum -- or ululate with the candidates for city assessor-recorder at the League of Women Voters-sponsored debate (ladies, the word "calendar" is misspelled on your site). Maybe Ron Chun will bring his ermine robes and crown! Debate starts at 7 at the LGBT Center at 1800 Market.
And TGI Friday: As part of the Bay Area Now series, the Yerba Buena Center presents Under The Radar 1, which sounds like it's going to be an underground cabaret -- female faux drag queens (one of whom used to be our yoga teacher!), acrobats, hip-hoppers Felonius, a women's toy instrument ensemble, and Lynne Breedlove of Tribe 8 (among many others) will be performing. Yow! 8 pm at the YBCA, $20.
