Interview: Tales of Mere Existence's Lev Yilmaz
Feeling chipper? Well, we'll soon take care of that! Local artist Lev Yilmaz has perfected the craft of gloom in his comics and videos; he has a new book out, and he's presenting a dramatic reading tonight and tomorrow. We've been fans since before his work started appearing on SFist, so we're delighted to have an opportunity to interview him. Or at least, we'll try to be delighted. It's...

Cute NY Boy Talks Sexy at Local Theater, on Internet, and on TV
If you do not fall completely under the spell of Jeffery and Cole Casserole upon your very first viewing, then we have nothing to discuss. The show stars 2 giddy young lads in a NYC apartment, furiously bombarding a webcam with comedy and, well, that's it. And we love it. "It's recession TV," Jeffery Self, one of the show's stars, told us when we reached him by phone. That's...

SFist Interviews: District 8 Candidate Alix Rosenthal
When the Party-Party folks started agitating to Dump Dufty, we couldn't wait to see who'd step up to the plate.

Alix Rosenthal (pictured at right, hovering majestically above the treetops), that's who. Bevan, can you hover majestically? We didn't think so. Alix is an attorney and civil...

SFist Interviews: Amandeep Jawa, Flashdance Boss
Dust off your dancing shoes, San Francisco! You DO have dancing shoes, don't you? No, your galoshes don't count. Wait, have you been wearing those since Folsom? Eww.

(Backup location: Patricia's/Hayes Green.)It's Flashdance Four, a temporary party hosted by local flashmobby gadfly Amandeep Jawa. He brings speakers and...

Charo-Guitar is Whatever You Say
The only thing more shocking than Charo consenting to an interview with SFist is that there are people in the world who don't know who she is. For those philistines, here's a quick recap: Charo is a Spanish superstar of song, dance, and guitar, known for her eccentric catchphrase ("coochi coochi"), wild ensembles, a record-setting number of Loveboat guest appearances, and a speech pattern that is unpredictable, frantic, and...

Interview: Jenni Olson
Maybe, like us, you weren't lucky enough to catch the Frameline screening of Joy of Life last month. But fear not: this Monday (the eleventh), Jenni Olson's narrative-documentary-ish film premiers at the Castro, and plays until the fourteenth. It's hard to pin The Joy of Life down to any one genre of film; it consists of contemplative footage of San Francisco, accompanied by a calm voiceover, reading what sound like...
