Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

Reports are pouring in on Twitter of an N-Judah that crashed into a dump truck in the Inner Sunset. The SF Examiner has the story (link now includes a photo gallery of the incident). Service is “stifled.” We’ll update as needed.
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!
Reader Karl snapped this pic from his apartment today around 2:30 p.m. He says:
“Ellis was completely blocked the entire time. Looks like both cars were totaled…saw someone being carried from the bus on a stretcher. The lady in the black car was sitting in the driver side until paramedics arrived, but she didn’t appear to be too badly hurt…I didn’t see much outside of the aftermath.”
Did you see this incident? It looks like a 49, and Karl says it took more than an hour to clean up the scene. Send us more info if you’ve got it, and let us know here or @munidiaries on Twitter if things are wonky on Van Ness.
It is certainly not a good day for Muni vs. Other Object, so we’re hoping everyone involved is OK.

As reported by @SFMayorTracker, well, this. This report by BCN on the SF Examiner site explains how it happened. Which is nice, because we had been scratching our heads trying to imagine that.

Include an #sfgiants hashtag, and @munidiaries, @bartdiaries, or @caltraindiaries at the end of your tweet to make sure we put your name in the hat, and follow us on Twitter to find out the winner.
Again, to recap:
I mean, seriously, all you gotta do is tweet at us about your ride and you get this:
If you want a more children-friendly prize, we also have an adorable Muni Diaries baby onesie and a gift bag of Chronicle Books to give away to two more winners who tweet their Giants ride to us.
Fine print: anyone who tweets their Giants ride at @munidiaries, @bartdiaries, and @caltraindiaries is eligible. We won’t be able to retweet all of you because we’ll be too busy woo-hooing our beloved World Series champions at the game, but rest assured that your name will be in the hat for the three prizes. We’ll announce the winner here and on Twitter on Saturday.
So keep your eyes peeled and ears open for great fan photos, overheard shenanigans, and other happenings on your ride to AT&T Park, and share what you see.
