Muni graffiti a bygone era?

On the exterior of vehicles, we mean. We know all too well the lovely decorations that adorn many a 14-Mission interior and Muni bus stops. But some of the retired buses, streetcars, and LRVs that have gone to pasture around the city are graced with graffiti that make some of us nostalgic for the street art explosion in the 1970s, especially in New York City.

Here’s a shot of a graffiti’d Muni bus that Virtue n Vice believes is from 2003.

Seen other examples of rad Muni vehicle graffiti around town? Let us know.

The Diaries/Giants Tweetup Winners

This week, we thought we’d have some fun to coincide with the SF Giants Tweetup night at AT&T Park. The grand prize in this contest: a leather beer holster from Brew Holster Cult. The other also-ass-kicking prizes are a Muni Diaries Fast Pass onesie and gift bag from Chronicle Books.

Today, we’re proud to announce the winners. Drum roll, please:

Grand Prize The beer holster goes to … @steversb (seen above in a tweet to @caltraindiaries from his pal @tomspano) “@Steversb is half monkey and half drunkey!!! Go #Giants!” Spotless, drink-on-me Caltrain really does provide golden opportunities for this sort of stuff.

Second place winners are @cheapskate2009 and @amandajunk:

@cheapskate2009 “Sea of orange on #Bart #Fremont to #SF #sfgiants” (sent to @bartdiaries)

@amandajunk “#sfgiants game. The kettle corn is only so so but the scenery is delicious.” (sent to @munidiaries)

Thanks to everyone who participated.

Don’t forget to follow @munidiaries, @bartdiaries, and @caltraindiaries. And, of course, go, Giants!
