This week we'd like to congratulate the -ist network's Mother Hen, Gothamist's Jen Chung, who found herself a recipient of Wired Magazine's Wired Rave Award. If that doesn't sound terribly exciting, keep in mind another recipient was J.K. Rowling. Yep, that's right, the -ist network and Harry Potter now have something in common. Go us. Austinist has a chat with the ever-fashionable Golden Girl Rue McClanahan, and managed to catch some local fashionistas making...

Torontoist visits the site of a new Frank Gehry structure, stalks "the elusive Bahamas streetcar", and watches Tom Green get surgery.

We -ists are an eclectic bunch, but there's a couple of things we all love: famous people, social causes, and wacky local facts. Join us as we starf**k, get virtuous, and learn across the -ist network!

Torontoist immediately wins our heart by using the word "Jackass" in a headline. In fact, we love their use of it so much that we're going to use it as much as possible throughout this post.

Mama Bear Jen Chung made the top five. In fact, she’s number three. Bostonist recently stumbled upon our very own Katie listed on David Krug’s site as a “2006 Sleeper” for the top ten most powerful women in the blogosphere. In the spirit of High Fidelity, we really can’t get enough of these lists. The liberalcowboy (David Krug) put together one of the many lists on his site and titled it “10 Most Powerful Women in Blogging.” Being vain, as we bloggers are sometimes known to be, the posting was hit and made it half-way around the ‘net. Katie reports that when she got caught googling herself last week, the Krug list was a top hit. We’re happy to know that she’ll potentially be knocking back some shots with the Pats in the post-season. Stays tuned for the next Bostonist Happy Hour, when she promises to drunk-dial some sushi afterward and do a “wicked sweet” post on it. We don't quite know what to make of Katie's being a sleeper pick for '06, especially since number eight on the list of 10 is Joi Ito, a guy.
