Muni Diaries Birthday Party Surprise

Last Saturday we celebrated our fourth birthday with a party at the Make-Out Room where we shared margaritas and chicharoones and mugged in front of the Orange Photography photobooth, all to tunes from the golden age of hip hop.

One of the best surprises that evening came from rider Christa, who brought these cool Fast Pass name tags for everybody just for fun!You might remember Christa’s other crafty endeavor, a 22-Fillmore Moleskin notebook.

Here she is wearing one of the fun name tags.

So thoughtful! Reminds me of the time when Rachel brought these cute Muni line mini cupcakes to Muni Diaries Live.

Thanks Christa!

We have more photos from the party courtesy of Orange Photography. Stay tuned!

Bryan Boy 2.0 on Muni

Fashion world and Muni world collide! This chic young man was spotted riding the M. Lucky for us, Doc Pop had his camera at the ready. Looks like he’s rocking some Prada Baroque collection sunglasses (see Beyonce’s lil sis sporting these bad boys at the beach). But my sources tell me that his Louis Vuitton bag may be of questionable origin.

But who cares where he got his LV bag, really, because this guy is…in a word…ahmazing!

p.s. If you don’t know, you should know that our title refers to the fabulous blogger Bryan Boy. Baboosh!

Got Gold Spray Paint, Will Ride Muni

Just your normal San Francisco morning routine: breakfast, shower, gold spray paint all over, ride Muni to work. Right? @TheJoWo spotted the Gold Man getting on the bus the other day. Disappointingly, he reports that the Gold Man did not robot onto the bus. If only.

This is our second reported sighting of the metallic guys on Muni Diaries, if you recall.

Here’s Silver Man getting off of a long day of work, spotted by @genejo.

Muni Rider Stabbed With a Fork

A Muni rider was stabbed with a fork on the 22-Fillmore after an argument, the San Francisco Examiner reports:

The 23-year-old victim was sitting on the bus near 16th Street and Potrero Avenue just before 5 p.m. when a 51-year-old man sat down next to her and spread his legs wide, police Sgt. Daryl Fong said.

This made the woman uncomfortable, so she got up and stood next to the back door to get off at the next stop, Fong said.

The suspect got up and began yelling at her. The two engaged in an argument before the bus stopped in the 2100 block of 16th Street, Fong said. The suspect pushed past her to get off the bus. She pushed back, and he allegedly turned around and stabbed her in the hand with a fork before fleeing the scene.

Wait, so the seat hog (otherwise known as a mansitter) happened to have a dinner fork with him? Is a dinner fork the new self defense weapon?

This is not the first cutlery-related incident on Muni, mind you. Last year two drunk man got into it on Muni and one of them stabbed the other with a dinner fork. That particular trip ended in the hospital.

Look out for forks, folks.
