What to do while waiting for Muni

waiting

Update: According to a friend of the artist, this is more specifically the work of Oscar Wickman, who studied advertising at the Academy of Art. AAU posted this on its official Tumblr as the School of Advertising.

The Academy of Art’s School of Advertising came up with this nifty chart. It provides many options that aren’t “stare at your phone and then tweet about how late/terrible/non-existent Muni is right now.”

I’d like to try some of these out, especially, “Come up with alternative endings for movies.” One of mine would be: “George Lucas dies at the end of Return of the Jedi, and the prequels are never made.” What are yours?

Cruzada Guadalupana
On Saturday, the annual Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe will take place. Participants will begin walking from All Soul’s Church in South San Francisco at 6:00 a.m., enter San Francisco at Mission and Sickles at 9:30 a.m. and end at St. Mary’s Cathedral on Geary Boulevard at 2:00 p.m.

The San Francisco portion of the route begins at Mission Street and Sickles Avenue, continues north on Mission to Van Ness Avenue (via 14th Street and South Van Ness Avenue) to Ellis Street, west on Ellis Street to Gough Street, and then north on Gough Street to Geary Boulevard where it will end at St. Mary’s Cathedral.

No closures or re-routes are planned. Streets along the procession route may be congested which could affect Muni bus service. SFPD officers and Parking Control Officers will monitor the march.
