You’ll also hear stories from MissionMission‘s own Ariel Dovas and Muni Diaries Live: Breaking it Down audience favorite Jesse James.
And don’t forget: We always save room for audience stories, with prizes galore. Come prepared to drink, laugh, and share your Muni tales.
We are so thankful to have seen so many of you at our live events in the last three years — every show leaves us energized and in awe of the amazing community in San Francisco. To make things a little easier for our readers (we know it can get crowded and hot at the Make-Out Room), we are selling show tickets in advance. So get your tickets now so you have more time to mingle and enjoy the Make-Out Room’s excellent cocktails. Due to popular demand, we opened up a few more advance tickets, so get them while you can. If you’re not the planning type, we saved some tickets for the day of the event so you can still buy them at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Never been to a Muni Diaries Live before? Check out our recaps of Muni Diaries Live one, two, three, and four.

Update:
CBS5 has video footage of the scene:
Original post:
Six people were injured when a big-rig hit the Muni KT-Ingleside/Third Street line in Dogpatch this morning, reports Bay City News/SF Appeal. The accident was reported around 10:30 a.m. on the corner of Third and 23rd Street, causing minor injuries to six people at the scene, who were taken to a hospital and expect to be ok, according to reports.
Read the rest of the Bay City News/SF Appeal report on this morning’s accident.
The Federal Transit Authority (FTA) proposes raising the assumed average weight per bus passenger from 150 pounds to 175 pounds, which could mean that across the country, fewer people will be allowed on a city transit bus. The transit authority, which regulates how much weight a bus can carry, also proposes adding an additional quarter of a square foot of floor space per passenger. The changes are being sought “to acknowledge the expanding girth of the average passenger,” the agency says.
The assumed average bus rider weight is still lighter than other passengers, though. “The Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees airline travel, gauges average passenger weight at 190 pounds in the summer and 195 pounds in the winter. The Coast Guard’s assumed average weight is 185 pounds for boats and ferries,” reports USAToday.
I guess we can rest easy for now, since San Francisco was rated the leanest city in America in Men’s Health magazine’s 2010 survey of 100 U.S. cities. Phew. Gotta get on that treadmill tomorrow!
