How was your pride weekend? Beautiful sunshine, spirited people, what else can you ask for? Oh, right, how about pink superheros helping out a stuck Muni bus, as spotted on MissionMission? You gotta love San Francisco.

Here are some photos of people celebrating Pride on and around Muni. If you have more photos, please send them our way!

The Diaries/Giants Tweetup Winners

This week, we thought we’d have some fun to coincide with the SF Giants Tweetup night at AT&T Park. The grand prize in this contest: a leather beer holster from Brew Holster Cult. The other also-ass-kicking prizes are a Muni Diaries Fast Pass onesie and gift bag from Chronicle Books.

Today, we’re proud to announce the winners. Drum roll, please:

Grand Prize The beer holster goes to … @steversb (seen above in a tweet to @caltraindiaries from his pal @tomspano) “@Steversb is half monkey and half drunkey!!! Go #Giants!” Spotless, drink-on-me Caltrain really does provide golden opportunities for this sort of stuff.

Second place winners are @cheapskate2009 and @amandajunk:

@cheapskate2009 “Sea of orange on #Bart #Fremont to #SF #sfgiants” (sent to @bartdiaries)

@amandajunk “#sfgiants game. The kettle corn is only so so but the scenery is delicious.” (sent to @munidiaries)

Thanks to everyone who participated.

Don’t forget to follow @munidiaries, @bartdiaries, and @caltraindiaries. And, of course, go, Giants!

So many things going on this week! It is Pride Weekend, so make sure you check out the Muni reroutes for Pride Celebration before you leave the house.

I’ve got three more things for you to do this weekend:
1. Today’s Giants tweetup: tweet us your transit ride to the Giants Tweetup game and you can win a beer holster !
2. Art I.S. Getting (T)Here, the art show on themes of transportation and journey, at their pop up gallery in the Inner Sunset.
3. Take the 22 to Beunos Aires! Metronome Dance Collective, a sponsor of Muni Diaries Live, is hosting the Tango Experience on Saturday night.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Where Banksy Meets Caltrain


Photo by Angela Kilduff

Update: Just as soon as it appeared, the “I apologise” Banksy (ish) painting has been painted over a few days after we posted. Sigh. So fleeting.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So Banksy should be feeling pretty pumped right now (or if I was him, I would be). A Banksy-esque piece of graffiti has been spotted near the 22nd St. Caltrain Station. We’re guessing it’s new, based on the number of reports about it we’ve seen today. We’re also guessing it isn’t Banksy, since there haven’t been other sightings.

Muni Diarist Eugenia also nabbed a photo as she sped by this morning.

Anyone know who’s behind this imitation/emulation or when it showed up?
