Muni shelter’s inspirational message?
While we cannot exactly condone the message herein, we think we like the meaning behind it? Like, maybe, “shoot pool, not schools,” would work, also, better, too, right?

7 reasons you should go to Muni Diaries Live
- Gabe Armstrong. He’s the audio engineering at the Elbo Room and has seen all the shenanigans backstage. Tonight he’ll step out of the sound booth to tell his own story.
- Cara Tramontano. She’s our Twitter BFF with some of the most creative Muni tweets ever. Imagine what she can do with more words.
- Kristee Ono. Ok. This woman ate 100 burritos in 100 days. If she’s not your San Francisco hero, I don’t even know.
- Satellite High. An entire hip hop album about Muni? Dreams do come true.
- Jerry Lee Abrams. He’s produced shows for Peaches Christ and designed lighting for a very famous wedding. We can only imagine what he’s seen.
- Driver Doug. Seventeen years of watching Muni riders act the fool, or sometimes acting right. He’s back with more behind the scenes stories for us tonight.
- Reigning Muni Haiku champ Ronn Vigh and his challenger, writer and comedian Baruch Porras-Hernandez. The battle is on: who makes better 5-7-5 magic?

Barf … no, literally
Cue the pie-eating scene from Stand by Me.
This is an excellent tactic for keeping those seats free and clear, though.
In our years of experience looking for this kind of stuff — you’re welcome — vomit doesn’t show up that often on Muni. But when it does, does it ever. One guy unloaded his stomach on the 43-Masonic. Another time, bless his heart, a little one couldn’t keep it together on the J-Church. His dad was really, really sorry.
There are plenty of substances to be viewed, enjoyed, or dismayed by on Muni. What’s on your bus?
Join us at Muni Diaries Live tomorrow night for a night of true, hilarious, weird, and sweet stories that can only happen on Muni! Grab a ticket and we’ll see you there!
Q: When will BART escalators be back in service?
A: (see above) When hell freezes over.
Which got me thinking: Man, when hell really does freeze over, hella things will happen at once. I hope I live to see that day.

Where the rubber meets the rail
Uh, well, I guess that’s one way to make your BART ride more enjoyable. Reminds me of this couple, who I never ever wanted to think about again.
