Off the Hook! Muni Diaries Fast Pass T-Shirts

3 comments

If you need one more reason to go to Muni Diaries Live tomorrow at the Make-Out Room, here’s one: the brand spankin’ new Muni Diaries Fast Pass T-shirts, hot off the presses, modeled here by our lovely Tara Ramroop.

With the type A Fast Pass being phased out Monday, what better way to memorialize our beloved montly passes than these shirts? They are designed by New Skool‘s Nate1, who is also an in-house artist at Secession Art and Design in the Mission.

We’ll be selling Muni Diaries T-shirts at Muni Diaries Live tomorrow with a show discount. You can also buy these shirts, sweatshirts, and Fast Pass baby onesies at Secession Art and Design.

Take a closer look at Nate’s handywork:

That’s some serious awesome sauce right there.

Tiny new features on Muni Diaries

We’ve decided to join the rest of the entire freaking internet and add a new feature, which should be familiar to you by now: The ability to “like” posts and comments on Muni Diaries.

If you’re the type that can’t be bothered to comment on a post, yet you read something that someone else said that you a) agree with, or b) think is funny, you can let us all know, anonymously, by clicking the little red “+1” at the bottom of that comment. Same goes for sharing your feelings about a post on MD: There’s now a red heart along with “I like this post” near the bottom of every post.

We decided against a voting-down mechanism. You guys can be nasty to each other on the bus or someplace else. Here on Muni Diaries, we encourage … encouragement.

So have fun with these new features, and keep sending us all that amazing Muni content!

Your Burning Questions on Prop. G and Reset SF

6 comments

Here at Muni Diaries, we don’t make political endorsements. Instead, we’ll ask the burning questions that must arise if you have seen the video commercial above from Sup. Sean Elsbernd: How the heck did they get all those Muni Metro trains to drive by the same stop?

All kidding aside, the commericial doesn’t really explain what Proposition G is. Of course everyone’s all for the buses being more on-time and shorter waiting times. Prop. G would remove the minimum pay guarantee in the city charter for Muni drivers. Recently the drivers union told the San Francisco Bay Guardian they were against it. Surprised? Where do you stand on Prop. G?

In other news, Phil Ting’s ResetSanFrancisco.org is having a live webcast this afternoon at 4 p.m. with BART Board Director and transportation expert Tom Radulovich and Municipal Transportation Agency Commissioner Cameron Beach. Ting’s press folks say that this is their “Ask an Expert” online forum where you can discuss our transportation woes. No meeting to rely on Muni to be late for attend.

Muni Diaries Live! Friday, Oct. 29 at the Make-Out Room

Muni Diaries Live! is back at the Make-Out Room on Friday, Oct. 29, at 7:30 p.m. – yes, it’s our Halloween show! Twice a year we bring Muni Diaries from the web to the stage at the Make-Out Room, where you can share a drink or three with your fellow riders and hear stories about the love-hate ride that we can’t do without.

This time our story tellers include Derek Powazek of Fray Magazine, comedian Bucky Sinister, and Isaac Fitzgerald, whom you may know from The Rumpus, but did you know he is also the recipient of a royal Bhutanese sword? Tara the sea shanty songstress from our first show will be back too, so we hope you’re ready.

This just in: author Andrew Lam will be telling his Muni story onstage — he is the author of Perfume Dreams and East Eats West, and a champion of Literary Death Match! 

Also, if you’ve been wrangling with your Clipper card and silently mourning the end of the paper “A” Fast Pass, come to this show to see the beginning of the final faceoff between the paper Fast Pass and the Clipper card. You’ll have to be there to see what we mean…

And as always, you will have an opportunity to tell your Muni story on stage, with prizes galore! We’ll be announcing more about the lineup and prizes in the next two weeks. If you missed Muni Diaries Live! one, two, and three (how could you miss out on so much fun?), we hope to see you at this one! A mere $5 at the door will get you a night of entertainment and camaraderie, so get your stories ready and see you at the Make-Out Room!
