Pride Parade and the Dyke March is this weekend, so make sure you send us your stories and photos of the celebration on and around Muni!
And before you leave the house, check out the transit reroutes and additional service.

I’ve got three more things for you to do this weekend:
1. Today’s Giants tweetup: tweet us your transit ride to the Giants Tweetup game and you can win a beer holster !
2. Art I.S. Getting (T)Here, the art show on themes of transportation and journey, at their pop up gallery in the Inner Sunset.
3. Take the 22 to Beunos Aires! Metronome Dance Collective, a sponsor of Muni Diaries Live, is hosting the Tango Experience on Saturday night.
Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Muni Diarist Eugenia also nabbed a photo as she sped by this morning.
Anyone know who’s behind this imitation/emulation or when it showed up?
The N-Owl pulls up at Haight and Fillmore at 4:11 a.m. Somewhat surprisingly, it already has 16 passengers. Not surprisingly at all, the bus is already thick with the official Muni odor — BO ineffectively masked by Old Spice with hints of pee. Sunflower seeds are scattered beneath the seats and the floors are already movie theater-sticky. A man wearing a Philadelphia Eagles knit cap repeatedly smacks himself on the forehead; his pensive expression indicates some elusive knowledge is on the tip of his tongue. The driver’s eyes meet mine. He exhales deeply. “It’s Monday,” he sighs.
Knit cap man stumbles off the bus at Fourth and King streets along with all the other riders. It’s a shade after 4:30, and the Caltrain station glows like a beacon. Every last soul on the 4:55 train to San Jose is blearily staring at something: a computer screen, a newspaper, or simply straight ahead in an early morning stupor. No train car has more than three riders seated in it; it’s a tight-knit club, and the passengers and ticket-checkers are on a first-name basis.
But once you venture past familiar cities, Joe says, you go beyond “the point where passengers are riding transit because it’s convenient or environmentally responsible. This is the trip of last resort.”

Include an #sfgiants hashtag, and @munidiaries, @bartdiaries, or @caltraindiaries at the end of your tweet to make sure we put your name in the hat, and follow us on Twitter to find out the winner.
Again, to recap:
I mean, seriously, all you gotta do is tweet at us about your ride and you get this:
If you want a more children-friendly prize, we also have an adorable Muni Diaries baby onesie and a gift bag of Chronicle Books to give away to two more winners who tweet their Giants ride to us.
Fine print: anyone who tweets their Giants ride at @munidiaries, @bartdiaries, and @caltraindiaries is eligible. We won’t be able to retweet all of you because we’ll be too busy woo-hooing our beloved World Series champions at the game, but rest assured that your name will be in the hat for the three prizes. We’ll announce the winner here and on Twitter on Saturday.
So keep your eyes peeled and ears open for great fan photos, overheard shenanigans, and other happenings on your ride to AT&T Park, and share what you see.
