The fifth installment of Muni Diaries Live is tonight, as you know. Our already muddled brains are now scattered as well. But as it’s been the past three years on this website, and as it has been at each of the past four Muni Diaries Live events, your stories, photos, and videos keep Muni Diaries going. And we thank you for that.

The site is three years old now. A bona fide toddler. Walking around on its on, talking, pooping on the pot. We’re proud of this little corner of the internet. And we’re thankful that you all seem to enjoy it enough to keep reading and sharing your Muni stories. Thanks, guys!

Here’s this week’s Muni news:

  • Muni Bus Strikes Car, Sends One Victim To Hospital (KTVU)
  • Muni Honors Cam Beach (Streetsblog SF)
  • BART Riders Now Have a Dignified Walkway at Balboa Park Station (Streetsblog SF)
  • Muni N-Judah love train chugs along (SFGate; not news, but a cool story)
  • MTC and Clipper Keeps Quiet About $2 Monthly Fee for Commuter Benefit Users (Akit’s Complaint Department)
  • Man Stops Muni in Its Tracks (SF Weekly)
  • Hearing To Determine Fate of Texting Muni Driver (KTVU)
  • It’s happened again –- Muni train door left opened while traveling in subway (Daily Dose of SF)
  • Muni Union Votes to Approve Strike Authorization, SF Threatens Legal Action (SF Appeal)

Now, allow me to turn my attention to my day job for a few. Got some things to do so that I can knock off early and get ready to party at Muni Diaries Live No. 5! Enjoy these photos and the rest of your weekend.

Muni driver of the year?

Muni drivers are all too easy a target. And like every group of human beings, some of them probably do suck. I know I’ve encountered my fair share.

But @avolberding just posted a photo of the flipside of Muni driverdom:

Muni driver of the year? Bus driver helping old lady onto bus. #5574.

Happy Easter Friday, or whatever it is, y’all.

Three Reasons to Leave Work Early Today

Muni Diaries Live is happening tonight at the Make-Out Room. We’re out of advanced tickets but have tickets available at the door, which is really your top reason for leaving work early today.

We have three more:

1. A Chrome messenger bag.
2. $100 to Seed Store to get some fine duds.
3. A gift certificate for free dance lessons at Metronome Dance Collective.

Aside from roaring storytelling from our performers, the three prizes above could be yours in the audience participation part of the show. What do you say? Have we twisted your arm?
