Are you putting your various costumes back in the storage closet? Not so fast. This weekend’s activities promise more opportunities to dress up, especially if you own anything Star Trek related or darkly Victorian.

Check out these three fun things to do this weekend.

  • Sci-Crawl. The first ever science crawl in the Mission encourages you to bring your nerd badge of honor out in force. Highlights include nerd speed dating at the Make-Out Room, a talk about the greatest science tattoos ever photographed, and opportunity to learn about the science behind chocolate and beer. Check the official Sci-Crawl site for details. Friday, Nov. 4, 6 p.m. in the Mission.
  • Shadowdance. A “darkly intense, heart-pounding journey into the silhouette of night.” Belly dancing, throat singing, industrial performance art, puppet shows, circus arts, angle grinding, and more that you just have to see for yourself. Featuring world-renown fusion belly dancers Rachel Brice and Ariellah. Saturday, Nov. 5, 8 p.m. Oakland Metro Opera House. 630 3rd Street, Oakland. Take BART there: 12th Street Station.
  • Dub Mission. The Elbo Room’s Sunday dub parties are legendary, and if you haven’t been to Dub Mission yet, DJ Sep and J Boogie’s got you covered this week. Sunday, Nov. 5, 9 p.m. Elbo Room. 647 Valencia Street. Take Muni there: 14, 33, 47, 49. BART: 16th Street station.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Impromptu U2 Medley Aboard the 49-Van Ness

Muni rider Mozart sent us this audio snippet from his ride home aboard the 49-Van Ness. Warning: The clip devolves for a bit into completely offensive, inappropriate ranting, so FYI and throw on some headphones if you’re at work. The clip was just very San Francisco in many different ways, for better or worse.

I thought it might be Omer, the infamous Mission District sidewalk “musician.” After seeing a photo of Omer, Mozart thought it could be him. What do you think? I’ve never seen Omer on Muni, but it seems like he’d draw a lot of attention on it.

Halloween or Muni or Williamsburg?

We’re finally getting all the Halloween transit photos in our inbox and some of them look suspiciously just like another day on Muni…or Williamsburg, for that matter. Can you tell the difference? Is “sexy George Washington” (via @hotchallah) going to a Halloween party or just another day on Muni?

Jack Sparrow riding the bus? Why not. Is this Halloween or just Johnny Depp on his way to work?

Whoa, how can you breathe under there? Is this a Halloween Thing or just regular Muni Thing?

Halloween or Muni’s revenge on organized religion? (via @simplepunkk)

What do you think, Halloween or traveling back in time on Muni?

Ok here’s an easy one from @JamesTamplin.

His tiny size and candy pail are dead giveaways.

One more: this is not Muni. But is it Halloween? From the awesome Halloween or Williamsburg.

“And just like that, the American Apparel mannequin got up, stole a bag, and exited the store.”

If and When You Like-Like a Muni Driver

We’ve spotlighted our share of hug-worthy drivers here on Muni Diaries. Tammy, one of our favorites, threw a party for her passengers once. One F-Market/Wharves operator went beyond the call of duty, while another Muni driver handed out Lemon Heads one day! But what if you, you know…like them-like them?

@marisalevinson on Twitter poses a perfectly valid and hypothetical query:

 What do you do if you have a crush on a muni driver…Hypothetical situation…

Rider “Mike” left a missed connection for Muni driver Jackie. But how would you (or did you) go about it? Send us your solutions and shouts out to your uniformed objects of affection.
