Will Tell Muni Stories for BBQ Ribs
Photo by Place I’ve Eaten
Next Saturday at Muni Diaries Live, we’ll trade your great Muni stories for a heaping tray of BBQ, sides, and booze from Southpaw BBQ.
Southpaw BBQ is giving a gift certificate for the best audience storyteller at our show on March 2, which is only nine days away! Southpaw is within stumbling distance from the Elbo Room, so you will be five minutes away from a silver tray of ribs, braised greens, and mac and cheese. The bar’s whiskey selection is totally legit too. We wish we could offer you a bib as you peruse Southpaw’s menu.
So get your advanced tickets right here and we will see you next Saturday, March 2!

“I am the owner of Muni!”

Brandon wrote his diary while the action was taking place on the bus. He even updated it for you! Check it out:
Woman just got on the bus and yelled at the bus driver because he asked her to pay. She yelled, “You don’t recognize me?! I am the owner of Muni! If you don’t recognize me you shouldn’t be working at my company!”
She actually looks very well put together so I’m not sure whether she’s crazy or is actually the owner of Muni.
Update: She is now yelling at him accusing him of very specific things (he’s been fired 18 times, he transports babies to Mexico) and telling him her attorneys will contact him by tomorrow.
Public transportation is cool.
Yes, it is. Drop your Muni story in our submission box.

Fill in the Blank: Occupy Something

Has enough time passed by now that “Occupy” protest signs are kind of retro? Probably not. But loritalove found this on a Muni stop and I thought, hey, haven’t seen one of those in a while.
What did you spot on your commute today? Muni Diaries is made from your stories and snapshots on and around the bus, so don’t forget our thirsty inbox as you go about your day today.
Even Muni gets a tow in the rain
Per Adam, who snapped this around Kearny and Sutter:
Rotten day to have to hook a bus up to a tow truck; I tip my hat to the tow-truck driver.
Thanks, Adam. We do, too.
So, for whom does this suck most?
- The tow-truck driver
- The commuters who undoubtedly got kicked off that bus
Mull that over while wishing for a drier commute home. I’m personally crossing all fingers and still-damp toes.
