Muni’s new 3-Jacassus route 07.16.11
Hilarious! I was super pissed when I just missed the 21 Hayes outbound, so went to wait for the 71 or the 6. Then … I saw this beauty. It was worth it.

Forty cents! Oh, back in the days when everything was better. If you miss more of the good old days, check out Muni Time Capsule, our digital archive of everything Muni “way back when.” What do you remember about Muni in the good old days?
Artful Muni: She got off at Civic Center Station 07.14.11
We found Cheap Girl Draws recently, and are kinda totally in love with her sketches, especially the Muni ones. She’s got more, better-quality scans coming your way soon. For now, chew on this one for a bit.
BART Music Diary: Powell Station 07.14.11
We’ve also featured some amazing photos of BART Musicians earlier this year, including my favorite cello quartet, also at the Powell station.
Did a musician perk up your day at a Muni/BART station? Send us some photos, stories, or even better, a video, please!
Mystery smell at Van Ness Station explained 07.14.11

Jeff (not me) has got a doozy …
Then one day about 2 p.m. on my way to work, I’m heading down the stairs and this dude is walking to go up the escalator and talking on a cell phone. With his other hand, he starts grabbing at his crotch — which catches my attention.
He then pulls out his schlong, looks at me straight in the eye as we pass by each other. I look back and as he heads up the escalator, he starts pissing while talking on the phone. And there’s a lady about 10 feet ahead of him.
Just another Tuesday. I now know why the place smelled like a sewer.
Well, that explains that. Thanks for sharing, Jeff (not me)!
Muni in song: ‘Rendezvous on the 22′ 07.13.11

Specifically, this song, “Rendezvous on the 22,” is about how the lead singer met his girlfriend on the 22. We love stories of love at first sight aboard Muni, we do. Put to song, even better.
A tease:
“i walk block by block
walking is no longer a thought
whoa whoa whoa
if i make it there some way
a lousy no good fare i paid”
Lyrics by C. Wu.
Thumbs-up, retro Muni bus 07.13.11
You know this lot. It’s got that nifty web of electrical lines running above its sleeping coaches. Heather and Ed took some Muni-themed wedding photos there, as we posted about earlier this year. And then there’s all the other stuff you haven’t told us (now’s your chance!).
So, kudos, Retro Bus. If you’ve got other transit ephemera, share it with the Muni Time Capsule.

Joyce Lee’s Mom Takes on Muni 07.12.11
I first saw Joyce at the Tourettes Without Regrets’ 10th anniversary show, where she knocked my socks off with her poem, “Crazy:”
“I’m only as crazy as my love is. And my love checks your Facebook every fucking day.”
Joyce has an upcoming poetry CD/DVD, her first professionally produced CD/DVD. She’s also got a Kickstarter page to help get the CD/DVD produced, so check it out if you liked what you heard!
