Where do the most unbelievably gross, heart-warming, funny, and weird stories happen in San Francisco? On Muni, of course. Save the date for the next Muni Diaries Live on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 7 p.m. at the Elbo Room! For our tenth show, you’ll hear tales from comedian Nato Green and filmmaker H.P. Mendoza, and culture blogger and Bay Arean extraordinaire Beth Spotswood. And you’ll find out: who will finally beat the current Muni Haiku champion, James Nestor?

We’re also giving away a gift certificate to Tony’s Pizza Napoletana to one lucky audience storyteller, so get your stories ready!

If you’ve never been to one of our shows before, check out the recap of past shows to get a flavor of Muni Diaries Live. The photo above is from our reunion show with Anna Conda (who else can rock velvet gloves like she can?)

We’ll release the full lineup of the show soon, but for now, grab a ticket and invite your friends.

Five oh-so-San Francisco things on Muni

5-moments-8
Photo by eviloars

Love it, hate it. Look forward to getting away, then die of homesickness. It is San Francisco, and in these five examples, it plays out in all corners and rolling buses of the city.

  1. #muni bus smells like Lysol. don’t know whether I should be excited it’s clean or wary of why they used Lysol.
  2. Carrying a yoga mat and a day’s worth of juice in glass cans while riding #Muni in heels is some sort of sport.
  3. there is seriously a dude dumping hot sauce in his Pepsi on the 49 right now. #spicy
  4. “You may not love #Muni, but remember folks, Muni loves you!” – thing my N driver actually just said over the intercom
  5. OH on #sfmuni this morning: I donno what they tell you at school, pcp is off the hook

Spotted on Muni: Reusable shopping … trash bin?

trash

Not everyone is on board with the whole reusable shopping bags gig. We get it. New habits and all.

But Muni rider Roger spotted an upright citizen taking things to a whole new level. Roger?

This guy got the L Inbound, and brought a trash can with him. He was digging it and taking his grocery shopping out of there and having a little snack during his trip to downtown.. Definitely things that you don’t see every day (at least not inside the muni).

I mean just wow.
