The Muni Sartorialist
amkilduff on Instagram snapped the photo of this man and noted:
He hardly said a thing. Rode from Japantown to the Mission barely suppressing the urge to relight that cigarette.
Muni Skull Antenna
Stated plainly, @KdotCdot says, “The thing about SF is that when you see someone wearing a tinfoil hat on Muni, they might be doing so without irony.”
Also, is the hat on dude’s lap a substitute, or is it worn over the Reynolds wrap?
Muni DIY: Fast Pass Pillow from Just Crafty Enough
Photo: Susi on Just Crafty Enough
When life hands you Clipper Cards, you make lemonade in the form of a Fast Pass pillow. (That’s how the saying goes, right?)
Beth alerted us to this DIY project by Susi on Just Crafty Enough. Susi’s friend designed and printed the Fast Pass-inspired textile, Susi made her own piping, and voila: a nifty modern accent.
Missing the Fast Pass? Check out the Clipper Card holders in our Muni Diaries Etsy store, each containing these real-life bits of transit ephemera.

Friday, April 6: “this lady on the 29 dug for gold up her right [nostril] & wiped it on her toddler’s back.” – @KatmanduHerself
Monday, April 9: “woman on the L drinking beer, picking her nose, wiping mouth with baby bonnet, flipping off an older lady, stickers on glasses” – @Zangelman
Monday, April 9: “Serious nose pickage on the 1BX right now. I thought this was a classier ride…” – @im_crafty
It made us wonder why, all of a sudden, such a phenomenon would unfold. Could it be … allergies? Also: Stop it, people.
