Fun Fun Fun Fest 2007 Recap from Super!Alright! on Vimeo.

It seems like, all across the network, folks were up to no good. Maybe it was all the green beer from last weekend...

SFiS -- more than just SFist minus the T! We give the new glossy advertorial section of the Chronicle our patented By The Numbers treatment below. (Warning -- SFiS only appears in .pdf form so many, but not all, of the links featured here will require Adobe Acrobat.)

Well, if those gloomy housing forecasts weren't enough, it's now official, folks -- the San Francisco real estate bubble has burst. "Kiss of Death" Al Gore has bought a house here. Al and Tipper bought a unit in the new St. Regis Tower, which is right between the MoAD and the SFMoMA on Third and Mission, above the hotel units. Folks are guesstimating that the Gores spent $2 million on the condo. $2 million! Why, you could get 2 actual bedrooms in Pac Heights for that price! Act now, folks, only twenty condos left! Don't you want to go to homeowners' association meetings with Big Al? Intriguingly, the Gores' press release mentions casually that they'll be living around the corner from none other than that other Democratic spoiler, Gavin Newsom, who they claim lives at the Four Seasons. Look, Care Not Cashers, Gavin lives in a hotel too!

We did not really expect to meet with Dr Evil, but we really wished Nina Zagat would do some air quotes here and there. The quote is the hallmark of the guide. Could she do them when she talks about the "laser" or the "tractor beam"? No such luck. Come on, not even once! Boy, were we disappointed. The Zagat 2006 is out, and it's the 20th anniversary of the SF edition. So we got to hang out with Nina in her suite at the Four Seasons. She did not wear a burgundy jacket either, but she was like her guide: passionate about food, yet very organized. She was still raving about her lunch at the Slanted Door, and especially the excellent jasmine tea she had.
