Week Around the Ists
Gothamist was shocked when someone scaled the 52-story New York Times building's exterior on Thursday. And then Gothamist was shocked again when a second person scaled the building six hours later.
Torontoist featured dozens of dramatic photos from Newmindspace's downtown pillow fight.
Phillyist encouraged its readers to foster kitten litters and their mothers during kitten season. Insert LOL here.
Chicagoist caught Olympic fever with a downtown celebration...and surprise guest Barack Obama.
SFist reported on a fine dining establishment set to host the "First-Ever Single Cougars Party."
LAist finally made it over to the Playboy Mansion for a Spike TV Bash, and it was everything everyone thought it would be.
Londonist abandoned trying to taunt their New York counterparts into a live Teletroscope dance-off, opting instead to send one of their expat American contributors to gawk in realtime at her Brooklyn-based brother. The end result was rather sweet, by all accounts.
DCist checked out local reporters being hassled by Union Station security.
Seattlest watched in awe (and made light of the moment) as Mariners' manager John McLaren had a post-loss meltdown.
Bostonist talked to Lewis Black about his lack of faith, and learned how to make a perfect Boston movie from Paul Sherman.
