(Why, yes, we do plan on running this into the ground. Thank you for asking.)

The SF Public Library's holding a good old-fashioned photo drive! One day only! Today! They're looking to add to their Historical Photograph Collection, and they need your help -- but heterosexuals need not apply. Ha ha, just kidding, heterosexuals can help too! But seriously, they don't want pictures of straight people. The "Shades of LGBTQI" project is looking for donations from the community; they want photographs -- physical or digital -- that have something......

The SF Symphony Gala last Wednesday night, is one of the poshest events of the year -- a must-attend for anyone who’s anyone who has the right to live, breathe, receive adequate healthcare in SF.

Remember that couple we told you about that was stealing stuff from open houses? They got busted by the OnStar in their rental Hummer. Police won't reveal where they were, except to say they were "out of state." DA Kamala Harris went to the Board of Supes to ask for more money to fight misdemeanor crimes (usually your smaller quality-of-life ones). The SF DA's office only has nine attorneys handling misdemeanors, and they've got an......

A variety show and a chance to help out Killing My Lobster? But of course!

It's our week up on the weekly-reading duties! Last week's winner from SFist Sarah L, the SF Weekly.

It's Bay Area National Dance Week! Dance studios across the city are dramatically flinging open their doors for free events all week.
