Muni Diaries Birthday Party Surprise

Leave a comment

Last Saturday we celebrated our fourth birthday with a party at the Make-Out Room where we shared margaritas and chicharoones and mugged in front of the Orange Photography photobooth, all to tunes from the golden age of hip hop.

One of the best surprises that evening came from rider Christa, who brought these cool Fast Pass name tags for everybody just for fun!You might remember Christa’s other crafty endeavor, a 22-Fillmore Moleskin notebook.

Here she is wearing one of the fun name tags.

So thoughtful! Reminds me of the time when Rachel brought these cute Muni line mini cupcakes to Muni Diaries Live.

Thanks Christa!

We have more photos from the party courtesy of Orange Photography. Stay tuned!

Bryan Boy 2.0 on Muni

Leave a comment

Fashion world and Muni world collide! This chic young man was spotted riding the M. Lucky for us, Doc Pop had his camera at the ready. Looks like he’s rocking some Prada Baroque collection sunglasses (see Beyonce’s lil sis sporting these bad boys at the beach). But my sources tell me that his Louis Vuitton bag may be of questionable origin.

But who cares where he got his LV bag, really, because this guy is…in a word…ahmazing!

p.s. If you don’t know, you should know that our title refers to the fabulous blogger Bryan Boy. Baboosh!

Muni as the Common Denominator

When you ask the average San Franciscan to sum up what it’s like to ride Muni, chances are the word “crazy” would appear somewhere in their description.

theordinaryday shared a related something that they overheard on Muni recently. It made us chuckle:

A: I’m really crazy
B: Lots of crazies in here
A: Yeah, in here I’m normal even if I’m crazy
B: Maybe you’re normal in crazy scale — percentage-wise.

See? Sometimes Muni is therapeutic.
