Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

Awesome find of the weekend over at Market Street Railway blog. You’ve heard it or read it a thousand times on Muni buses: “Information gladly given, but safety requires avoiding unnecessary conversation.”
Sometimes, I want that to be my motto, on Muni, and off.
Anyway, MSR is selling these nifty shirts. Buy one online, yeah? Or, even better, get one at the Market Street Railway Museum.

Happy Hour at Secession
Friday July 23, 2010, 6:30 – 9:30pm
OUTBOUND: Street art & design shows off its symbols, colors, and shout outs to culture at Secession.
Both sides of the Bay represent! The link that holds the bay together – transportation, bridges, media, and graffiti. Our gallery remixes graf into art for your home. Spray paint, stencils, and signature looks make each hand-picked item in our collection a must-see.
Click the image to get the jpg by itself. From there, either right-click (Windows) or control-click (Mac) and download the jpg. Print it out, stash it somewhere safe, and produce it in the event you encounter an operator who hasn’t got the memo. (I’ll never get sick of whipping out that phrase. Heh.)
And of course, if you ever do need to show a driver the memo you printed out from Muni Diaries, be sure to let us all know!
Friends of Muni Diaries, The Guardsmen, are throwing one helluva party tonight out at Herbst Pavilion. The Roundup promises “country-western music, SF-style,” according to one of the event’s organizers. Also, booze! More reason to take Muni there and back. Bust out yer snazziest cowboy/cowgirl gear, dust off yer boots, and git!
Here’s what they’ve got lined up for you:
Live music: Elliott Randall & The Deadmen; Bad Influence featuring Monique LeCompte
Open bar! El Tonayense taco truck! Big-ass dance floor!
Doors at 8:30 p.m., event lasts until 1:00 a.m.
Herbst Pavilion at Fort Mason
Admission: $50 at the door
Muni: 22, 28, 30, 49,
The Guardsmen is a non-profit organization that raises to send inner-city kids to summer camp. Pretty cool.

Hi, everyone. Just a quick note here to let you know that momma Eugenia has left me (papa Jeff) in charge of you kids for the next two weeks. Yes, you can eat all the candy and dessert and sodas you want, watch whatever on TV, and go to sleep when you feel like it. But let’s make a deal, too: let’s create the best Muni Diaries we can for Eugenia to come home to.
That means you guys gotta keep sending me your Muni stories, photos, videos, songs, and whatever else you think warrants a post on Muni Diaries. And keep the comments coming. I can steer the ship, but you guys gotta paddle. Or is it the other way around?
Let’s do this!
* Technically, I will have some editorial/curatorial help these next two weeks. Tara has volunteered to navigate these dangerous waters. Thanks, Tara!

Don’t let the picture fool you — we love the N-Judah plenty. In fact, we’ve got a whopping 51 stories about the N-Judah here on Muni Diaries. How do I know? We just added a drop-down box on the sidebar to the right over there so you can select stories by bus route. This was one of the most often-heard requests during our redesign, so here it is.
But don’t let the N, the 22, or the 49 steal the thunder from other lines. Can it really be that there are only 8 stories for the 19-Polk? What about poor 3-Jackson?
We know stories happens on Muni all the time, so if you’ve got a story, photo, or art for your line, send it over so you can show some love for your route!
