A Kiss and Twirl on Stage at Muni Diaries Live

One comment

We were totally blown away earlier this month at Muni Diaries Live. And in case you weren’t able to make it, we wanted to share with you.

In January, Elyse sent us one of the sweetest diaries to date: Long story short, she left her wallet on the 33-Stanyan, and when she got it back, she also fell in love.

Fast-forward 10 months, and Mahsa the one-woman band/mime and Elyse delighted the audience at Muni Diaries, to put it mildly. Elyse retold their diary, this time in kill-me cute Dr. Seuss-like rhyme. Then Mahsa covered Prince’s “Kiss” while Elyse broke out into twirl. Mesmerizing and darling and put a bow on it already.

The Kids Are All Right

One comment

Kids. They do the damnedest things.

A group of 11-17-year-old youth media producers from BAYCAT shot, edited, and produced the movie above. It’s all about SFMTA/Muni.

There’s some fun history from a cable car gripman, and then the movie takes a closer look at the business of getting around San Francisco, for better and for worse.

Kids. These are some of the same kids whose laptops were pathetically stolen last month. BAYCAT, the nonprofit that serves these kids, is hosting a fundraiser to help replace the lost equipment, tonight at Cigar Bar. Help out if you can. RSVP here.

LiveSoma rides the E-Embarcadero

Over the weekend, Muni began running the much-anticipated E-Embarcadero line that connects Fisherman’s Wharf and the Caltrain Depot at Fourth and King Streets. Service ran on Saturday and Sunday, mostly to ferry people to this weekend’s America’s Cup events on the northern waterfront.

LiveSoma took a ride on the newest Muni streetcar line, and wrote about their experience.

I sat at the very front of the car and found the driver, Angel, to be a friendly and great resource for how the waterfront has changed.  A longtime resident of San Francisco for over 30 years, he was able to share a magnificent history of San Francisco’s waterfront as we passed the different structures and attractions along the embarcadero.  The weather seemed perfect and an ocean breeze drifted into the open windows.  The scenic views from the streetcar were lovely and interesting. You could see ships on the bay and colorful and interesting people buzzing about outside.

Read the rest of this fun adventure at LiveSoma. And if you got a chance to ride the line, tell us about it here!

“Muni: Crazy people shitting their pants”

2 comments


Definitely on our list of worst Muni stories: people popping zits on the bus. By messtiza

Last month on Reddit, a thread opened asking for people’s worst Muni stories. It’s kind of what you’d expect: shit, vomit, crazy person, vomit, shit in pants, shit on seat, piss in pants, refrain.

And, of course, the occasional old guy who touches a young lady’s leg and jerks off.

A few of favorites include:

Sat down on a seat covered in shit (hopefully it was from an animal) at the Mission and 4th stop. If you saw a guy washing his pants in the Metreon bathroom, that was me. — foofy

And:

Woman carrying a big stack of eggs/crates. Hundreds of eggs. Leaning tower of Pisa style. She’s trying to keep this shit level, but it doesn’t work. It tips and eggs go all over the place. (38 Geary) — firebelly

Read the entire entertaining thread on Reddit for yourself. Maybe grab a barf bag first?

A few of our favorite Muni Diaries horror stories include No. 2 on the 22, Letting out at Sacramento and Fillmore, and A misfired projectile in Tiffany’s airspace

What’s your worst Muni story?
