Attention all Men With Incredible Tattoos and Acoustic Guitarists!

We're not sure if this is hilarious, offensive, hilariously offensive, or offensively hilarious. (And if the word "offensive" wasn't enough of a hint, remember to use headphones with this one, as it has some NSFW language. -Ed.)

Former Phillyist, now full-time blogger and author, Jen A. Miller made it to the finals of the Hot Blogger Calendar contest. You're next, Jill!

A week's worth of local Craigslist hijinks.

Looking back on a week's worth of local craigslist hijinks...

Yes, it's Cinco de Mayo. We've got one event related to the fiesta, but that doesn't mean you can't throw together your own party. Just get some tequila and the number you'll need to call out of work tomorrow morning.

What happened this week in the City of Bloggerly Love...

The Pennsylvania Turnpike has been closed in both directions between the Philadelphia and Willow Grove interchanges, and is likely to stay closed most of the morning, due to a fiery five-car accident earlier today involving a tractor trailer and a pickup truck. Thankfully, as of this writing, no fatalities have been reported. The Fort Dix suspects are asking to be moved Special Housing Unit at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia due to the fact...

Protest over national vs. regional chains, the never-ending debate over the place of cars and bicycles in our metropolises, professional sports scandals, remembering a solemn day, and being issued a search warrant - it all happened across our sites this week!

Happy first weekend of September - and happy Labor Day weekend, too, for our American cities! Let's take a look at what's been happening around the Ist-a-verse.

While SFist cringed at the fatal dose of crime littering the Bay Area, it found solace in Hillary Clinton's San Francisco campaign headquarters opening, which featured loads of exposed mammary glands. In other news, SF Taxi Commission ruled that Satan's cab must keep its (in)famous medallion number, 666; and in an un-fashion-forward frenzy, San Francisco Fashion Week (chortle) bars bloggers from covering and getting smashed at their shows and parties, respectively. Also, they found a picture displaying the woes of cruising in a tacky limo on the streets of San Francisco.

Hallelujah. Holla back, hipsters. It's the triumphant return of the Craigslist round-up.

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.

Band I Caught: Barking Spiders

Bands I Caught: The Cobbs, The Asteroid #4, Pattern is Movement, Make a Rising

...But it's inspired by something we saw there when we got tired of looking for jobs and decided to briefly digress. Namely, this (quite funny) post in the Missed Connections section, and the subsequent follow-up posts. The initial post reads, in full:

Spring appears to have, er, sprung, at least temporarily, in most of the Ist-A-Verse, so naturally, we're all feeling pretty good. (Yes, we know that spring doesn't start till later this month. Just let us enjoy our weather!) And that makes us that much more eager to share all of the nifty things we're up to...

Monday evening, at the TLA. Aaron LaCarte was spinning and Lily Allen had yet to (unenthusiastically) take the stage. Jill and I were commenting on what a mix the crowd was: teenyboppers, couples pushing 50, hipsters, unclassifiable folks there for love of music, and, well, what appeared to be a contingent of Main Line soccer moms to our right.

When we headed into the city from the depths of the wild Philadelphia suburbs, we were practically giddy with anticipation at being offered the chance to see Yo La Tengo, one of our favorite bands, live at the Trocadero.

As the world holds its breath, teetering precariously on the cusp of the Super Bowl (well, at least in America), the wheels of the -ists keep on turning.

The most remarkable thing about this video (other than the bad jingle) is that area hipsters have probably been consulting it for fashion advice. Zing!

On a recent trip to the allergist, Elite -ist was informed of something quite shocking: a dog allergy. But Elite -ist grew up with dogs! Elite -ist has never had a bad reaction around dogs! Besides...just look at the picture. How could you be allergic to something that adorable?

God, we're so sick of
that we want to kill anyone and everyone that
makes a "something on a something" joke. But then we realized that
there was no way we could ever win this fight, and, hell, if you can't
beat them, we might as well join them. And with that, you have the
theme of this weeks' Gothamist network post.

We love Megan over at Canary Promotions. That's because she tells us about all the cool stuff happening around Philly and sometimes gets us in to them for free. She's also just an all-around cool person, so far as Phillyist can tell.

you to visit it. And Philly gets visual. (The building's statuary has always been Phillyist's favorite part of the building, so we were intrigued to learn that no one knows exactly how many statues there are - or if they have an overall message. Sounds like a thesis project just waiting to happen.

LAist is flashing a sad peace out to their editor Carolyn Kellogg with one hand and bumping knuckles with their new head typist L.A. blogger king Tony Pierce with the other.

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow.

Sorry to start things on a down note today, but we thought LAist's post needed to lead. More entertaining posts from other -ists follow. We promise!

, but it was hard not to notice Steven Wells' whiny, vitrol-filled, diatribe against knitters.
