Weekend Photos: Ready for My Close-Up

Take a closer look: can you tell where these Muni photos were taken? I love the different ways that photographers see our city through their lenses. And if the photos happen to star our favorite subject? Even better.

We’re less than a week away from our second live show of the year, where you can hear true and hilarious Muni stories on stage. We’re always amazed and honored to see so many of you at our shows, but we know that occasionally the shows can become as crowded as a 38-L in the morning. So this time we’re aiming to do a lot better in terms of crowd control — we’re getting more chairs and staffing the door better so you have more breathing room to hear funny transit tales and share a drink or three with your friends and fellow riders.

Tickets are on sale now, so grab yours. We can’t wait to see you!

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Several of our sources were on the scene on Market and Battery and sent us these photos. The accident caused traffic delays and was reported around 12:20 p.m., according to SF Appeal.
