New York-based (boo!) artist Tomie Arai was chosen to design the future Muni Metro station in Chinatown. The designs are spiffy enough. And you have a chance to meet Arai tomorrow afternoon.

I mean, who doesn’t want free shrimp? Especially with some tasty cocktail sauce OH WAIT. I see what’s happening.
Someone who valiantly seeks #truthandjustice has taken to Muni to spread their message. “Free Shrimp Boy,” they say. “Really?” we answer back.

Perhaps feeling slighted by lowly human passengers moving its brethren “automobiles” out of the way of public transit vehicles, a tech shuttle bus done got itself stuck, like stuck-stuck, on some Muni tracks this morning.
Only a Muni Hulk or like every single person riding Muni at any given moment might be able to clear the way for the J-Church here. Sad.

Sometimes, you have to take matters into your own hands. Especially if “matters” include “parked car standing between you and happy hour/work/home” and “your own hands” are literally your own hands.
Truth: This isn’t the first time it’s happened. A similarly brave, heroic feat was last recorded in February, and Derek Powazek even regaled a rapt, 2010 Muni Diaries Live audience with his own tale.
“We can do this,” indeed.

Which do you think would break down more or take longer to get you where you need to go: a Muni bus, or a camper van disguised as a Muni vehicle?
