On Saturday night we packed the Elbo Room to listen to stories about the random, unbelievable, and hilarious things that can happen on public transit. We heard tales about the one ride that made you see life in the city differently (or at least made you never touch the hand bars again). Here’s how it all went down:

Comedian Kate Willett lit up the room with her story about how a passing comment from a stranger on Muni can make you realize that being in love with a girl is totally okay.

BART operator Kelly Beardsley has had many odd jobs in his life, but we’re pretty sure that driving a BART train is probably the quirkiest of them all. Here he is at Muni Diaries Live last year telling a story about a disturbing and hilarious behind-the-scenes tale from the driver’s seat.

Kelly will return to the stage Muni Diaries Live this Saturday with another insider story on the insanity that can only happen on public transit.

Get advance tickets today to save you and your friends a spot. See you Saturday!

Muni Haiku Battle Showdown this Saturday!

Leave a comment

This Saturday marks the return of our Muni haiku battle between reigning champion Jesse James and first-time challenger Ed Casey of @BARTDiaries. Will Ed’s 17 syllables include the material from naked twerking on BART? We can only hope.

Here’s a video from the last Muni haiku battle, where two-time champion James Nestor battled Jesse in a very close fight.

See the battle go down this Saturday, April 5, at Muni Diaries Live at the Elbo Room! Get your advanced tickets.

Muni Haiku Battle is a spawn of Tourettes Without Regrets. If you haven’t seen Tourettes, you gotta go!
