Is there anything better?
Neo has such good subway manners! Watch Keanu Reeves move robotically to give up his seat. Warms my heart.
Everyone is good enough to ride public transportation. Celebrities On The Subway proves the point with yet more celeb pics snapped in the subway in New York. Check it out.
Babs!
Mr. Silver Fox. Does anybody remember him from Channel One?
Now, I’m still waiting to see Danny Glover on Muni…

If you’re looking for something fun to do, Broke Ass Stuart is hosting “It’s a Jewish Christmas” on Christmas Day from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Make-Out Room on 3225 22nd Street between Mission and Valencia. There will be Chinese food, Woody Allen films, and of course, Stuart himself. I’ll see you there.
Happy holidays, everybody. Enjoy these photos and your (we hope) long weekend!

What must we sacrifice to Saint Nicholas so that he will bring me the XBox 360 Kinect with XBox Live GOLD?
When Jen F. and her husband Kevin told their friends that they were going to have a Muni-themed wedding, they were ridiculed to no end. I’m sure there were jokes about urine and body odor. But hey, if you’re reading this, you know that Muni is a big part of the life we love in San Francisco. Jen and Kevin really showed off their love for our city with their wedding. Jen tells us how and why they made Muni such a big part of their big day. There was even Muni-shaped chocolate!!!
Muni was a huge aid in our falling in love. It gave us 30-40 minutes a day to talk to each other, which is why I call it fake dating.
On the way home from our engagement weekend we both came up with the idea that our table names could be the name of stops along the 1 route. And from there we decided that we were going to have a Muni-themed wedding.
We took our engagement pictures on Muni. Both of our save the date and wedding invitation stationery were custom-made for us with a Muni theme.
The table names were bus stops on the 1 route between California and Divisadero and Clay and Grant.
We gave our guests bus-shaped chocolate inside a box. On top of the box were Muni Fast Passes.
We even incorporated the Muni logo and graphics on the photobooth photo strips as well as our welcome brochures.
We were really happy how both the stationery and pictures on the bus turned out, and how they worked together. We got a lot of people really excited about our story and really excited about the city.
When I told everyone here in San Francisco that we were having a Muni-themed wedding, I got made fun of, or not taken seriously, and they couldn’t wrap their head around it or even fathom the idea. It was awesome to prove that a dirty, stinky bus (that is often times the bane of our existence) could be really classy and romantic.
