Where does everybody know your name? On the internets.

Where do you get your city gossip? Mission Local, SF Eater, Noe Valley Blog, and SFist

Who's your favorite quintessential local character? Bruce Brugmann.

What's your go-to date place? A tie between: Heirloom Cafe, Ken Ken Ramen, Emmy's Spaghetti Shack, Delfina Restaurant, Yank Sing, Burma Superstar, and Beretta.

What's your favorite San Francisco institution? Too many to name, but I'd include Noisebridge, Golden Gate Park (including its museums), Critical Mass, and the Mechanics Institute Library high on the list.

What's the question you wish we asked? Is Quickly becoming the new Starbucks?

If you can change one thing about San Francisco, what would it be? I wish housing were a lot cheaper. Also, can we get a little more tolerance for all monsters, and not just zombies?
