Eugenia’s out of town this week (Hello, Eugenia!), and it’s now SF Beer Week. Clicky that linky and go drink beer. I like beer. Do you like beer?

Enjoy your beer-filled weekend and these photos!

A New Twist on Photographing Muni

jeff — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:00:32 +0000

Ariel (of ‘You’re Already Dead‘ fame) is back with another intriguing tale of life on Muni.

Muni operator asked me why I took a picture of the bus, said he had to write it up for his supervisor. I kept asking him why he needed to know why I took it, he said he was just asking, but also needed to know so he could write it up. I kept asking why he needed to write it up and he finally said “Was there something on the bus that you were taking a picture of?!” I said no and he gave up.

Yeah, file this one in the “Huh?” folder. Also, too: Nice photo, Ariel!

33-Stanyan x 2 = 66-AMAZING (update)

jeff — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:19:25 +0000

Update (9:05 p.m.): Mike updated Flickr with a better photo of the situation at Market/Clayton. He says:

The foreground bus seems to have gotten stuck when the driver took the turn way too tight, as evidenced by the fact that thing isn’t anywhere near the line it normally takes (painted on the ground). It was so far off, he couldn’t get it attached to the cables and had to just park it while he waited for help.

It sat there for a bit over half an hour, snarling traffic in both directions of Market and up Clayton. Eventually some help arrived and they managed to connect it back into the grid long enough to get it out of the intersection. Amazingly, through all of that time, most people still sat and patiently waited on the bus.

Thanks, Mike!

Original post:

Mike Dillon suggests, “Betcha you’ve never seen two 33s take this turn at the same time before…” You’re right, Mike. To which I’d add, “Dayum!”

Smile in 3, 2, 1: Balloon Animal on Muni

Tara — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:00:07 +0000

Rider Anthony sent us this picture of ol’ yellow on a “very crowded 38L.” When you’re ass-to-crotch with strangers during commute hour, it’s the little things that count.

Balloon animals on Muni is my favorite meme, short of actual pets on the bus. (And the even rarer meme of the bus arriving just when I needed it.) I spotted my first balloon animal on a snoozing Muni in October, after which rider Kristin sent us a pic of its twin (or perhaps the same one?) on a 16X. Rider Heather sent us a blue balloon dog from 2010, and, stretching even further back, we’ve got this orange one on the 5-Fulton, via telluomo on Flickr:

Did a Muni balloon animal make a rough ride or day a little better? Tell us all about it.

‘Model’ Muni Citizen on 1-California

Judy — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:00:18 +0000

Sometimes, photographing ridiculously good-looking Muni riders is too difficult. From rider Judy, here’s an artful, alternate method of capturing the moment:

I just had to draw this watercolor/sketch of him. There are so many well-dressed people on the 1-California but…jesus. He had a perfect boyish model thing going on. Kudos to all well-dressed/stylish Muni riders!

And kudos to you, boyish model dude; you just got singled out on the beautiful-person’s Muni line!

Between this and @LindapopSF‘s Popup Poems, we’re way into these analog means of expression. Submit your Muni captures — analog and digital — today.

@cinemaone on Twitter/Instagram created this brilliant portrait of a Muni rider. I think this is the result of Hipstamatic Dream Canvas and AutoPainter2 plus some other wizardry up his sleeves.

Got your own Instagram Muni masterpiece? We wanna see.
