Fun Tonight: 10 Years of Being Young, Broke, and Beautiful

Tonight Muni Diaries friend Broke-Ass Stuart is celebrating 10 years of living in San Francisco with a huge blowout party at Public Works. My favorite part of the party invite: “this is a classy affair, so please DRESS UP.” Who doesn’t love an excuse to look fancy?

So here’s what you do:
Step 1. RSVP.
Step 2. Clean up nice.
Step 3. Party your ass off.

The original broke-ass himself is going to be there with tons of great stuff:

  • Sponsored fancy drinks (Negronis) by Campari for the first hour.
  • FREE Oysters by WoodHouse Fish Co. while supplies last.
  • 30 free gourmet dogs by Dojo Dogs (first come first serve)
  • Dojo Dogs + Creme Brulee Cart Outside
  • Photobooth by Snap Fiesta

It’s just $3 to get in, and part of that goes to Slap Cancer. We’ll see you there!

Broke and Classy, Broke-Ass Stuart’s 10 Year Anniversary of Living in SF
Thursday May 17, 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Public Works, 161 Erie Street

Reminder: Monthly A Pass Fare Increase in July

Update: As reader Rachel pointed out below, the M pass (Muni-only) will also go up by $2 and will be $64 starting July. Thanks, Rachel!

Starting in July, the monthly Muni A pass will cost you $74 instead of $72. We first learned about this last year via the Examiner, who reports that the SFMTA’s board of directors approved the fare increase program in 2010 based on inflation.

For those of you on WageWorks, you should have received an email alert and your order should be automatically adjusted for the new price.

The A pass includes BART rides within city limits. The basic fare per Muni ride is still $2.

Muni Adbusted Yet Again: Du Beers

Well lookee there. What started out as a one-off Tuesday morning on Muni Diaries seems to be in the midst of going viral locally.

Previously, we brought you “Cum Tums” and “Fartine.” The local internet happened upon another: an ad for “Du Beers”(diamonds), with the adbusted ad slogan, “Slanging blowjobs since 1927.” That’s a lot of diamonds, a lot of money, and a lot of blowjobs. Eighty-five years’ worth, in fact.

It’s becoming clear that this is a concerted effort by someone or some group. Maybe the assholes who smashed windows in the Mission a couple of weeks ago have taken up non-violent protest? In any case, carry on, y’alls!

Fun Tonight: Drinking/Songs, A Night of Beer and Music That Goes With It

Tonight, Muni Diaries Live alum Chloe Veltman is hosting a night of beer tasting and drinking songs at 50 Mason Social Club. You might remember Chloe from the last Muni Diaries Live show where she and her friends sang a transit-inspired madrigal.

Chloe is the host of public radio’s Voice Box. At tonight’s event, you can sample seven Dogfish Head beers inspired by brewing traditions around the world, and hear music associated with each ale. Also featured is a live discussion with singers Justin Montigne and Jesse Antin, and cicerone Sayre Piotrkowski (The Monk’s Kettle).
