Clipping Nails on Muni, the 2011 edition

When we started Muni Diaries, one of the first stories was about nail-clipping on the bus. It’s become such a popular rant that we even incorporate it into Muni Diaries Live in the audience portion — Suzanne’s big toenail clipper is the signal that your time on stage is up. I guess when some people have to clip their nails, the urge to so is like needing your fix for caffeine, chocolate, or heroin.

That, or people still don’t care that this ends up online.

Update: What Would You Do With a Muni Window?

This morning we told you about an odd little ad on Craigslist that asked for an old Muni window. We got in touch with Tanya, the artist who posted the ad. Tanya says that she recently had a show at Galeria de la Raza where she projected images and video onto old windows in the store front. “I want to continue to work with windows this time for a show in a new gallery in the Inner Sunset…I want to use footage of Muni rides…as a joy ride that suddenly goes off track with some surprising places.”

Interesting idea!

Here’s a photo of Tanya’s project at Galeria de la Raza:

If, for some reason, you have a Muni window chillin’ in your basement or backyard, let us know.

It sounded like an odd request to us at first, too. But when we read the Craigslist ad asking for Muni windows for an art installation, which Tanya posted to the Muni Diaries Facebook page, it suddenly made total sense.

Also, too, you should totally like Muni Diaries on Facebook.
