Weekend Photos: A Summer Moment


Photo by laurenpnut on instagr.am

This week we received some really awesome donations of Fast Passes from you — thank you, and please keep ’em coming! It warms our hearts and keeps Heathered‘s sewing machine humming.

Want three fun things to do this weekend?

Here are some ideas:

  • Secession Art and Design happy hours!  Tonight the reception features Hilary Williams, a part of SF Marathon’s “Mile Marker Art Project.” Friday July 22, 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. 3361 Mission Street (and 30th St). Take Muni 14, 24, 36, 49.
  • Pitchapalooza: Pitch Your Book to a Panel of Experts. This Sunday, pitch your book at Pitchapalooza at the Rockit Room, in conjunction with Green Apple Books. Sunday July 24, 1 p.m., Rockit Room. 406 Clement Street (and 5th Ave). Take Muni 1, 2, 38, 44.
  • Get a post card sent to someone you like! Ed Casey, our @bartdiaries man, started the Post Card Project when he got sick of getting only junk mail and bills in the mail. Ask Ed to send a post card to a friend, and he’ll mail one for you, with a specifically designed task. Check out the post cards he’s sent so far!

Don’t forget, there may be some delays today due to the Giants game today, and construction starts on Monday in Bernal Heights, affecting the 14 and 49 lines.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Lovely moment at the muni station despite all the crazies around me.

So, You Think You Can Plank?

Icing is so 2010. The cool kids this year are all about planking. They’re planking on Muni. And they’re planking on Caltrain, as captured by rider and Twitter user Scott Brown (above).

BART riders, it’s totally understandable that some of you might not want to plank, due to that whole fecal matter on the seats thing. But others, we know you’re out there and just waiting to horizontally strut your stuff for the camera.

Riders of Muni, BART, and Caltrain, we’re issuing you a challenge: Email us your planking photos to us. We’ll post them next week and crown one lucky transit system the best for planking.

Now, go forth and Plank!

Muni has yet to smell like Teen Spirit

A couple weeks ago, rider Martha told us about a 49-Van Ness that smelled like basil, which was noteworthy because the 49 never smells like something you’d want to eat.

“Muni smells like…” actually shows up a lot on the @munidiaries Twitter feed. Here are our recent favorites.

Yummy
@jessicasuzette: #Muni smelled like strawberries, somebody went to #farmersmarket love clean trains.

Could go either way
@WillieFDiazSF: Someone on this Muni bus smells like Hot Dog juice. Makes me wanna have a BBQ.
@jdaisy: this LTaraval smells like fish AND chips.

The Bad
@cache_theory: the smells of the #sfmuni…urine & moth balls
@RGreenberg: Guy just got on #muni smelling like week-old pants, and fertilizer.

The Optimistic
@fsquared: This bus smells like pancakes and syrup. #wishfulthinking #muni

We’re constantly impressed by your creativity and the, um, evocative descriptions you send. So keep ’em comin’!
