In what could be the last game of the season (no more baseball-related delays, unless of course the Giants lose tonight, in which case, those will resume on Wednesday), the Giants are hoping to win the World Series tonight in Texas. Wish our team luck!

More than 150 of you came out to share a night of good laughs, strong drinks, and general fun at our fourth spoken word party Friday night. We learned a few important things from our stellar storytellers. If the rain kept you away from the fun on Friday night, let’s review:

Here’s another Halloween-on-public-transit shot, captured by Lilah:
And Mission Local has a nice gallery up of people actin’ a fool on BART and Muni.
If you saw other great/terrible costumes on Muni and have photos, share them in our Muni Photos Flickr group.

As the Giants get ready to battle the Texas Rangers in Game 4 of the World Series in Texas, SFSU journalism student Anthony reports the following from last week:
“I have a friend who works for Major League Baseball and I pushed her for two tickets,” Wagner said.
He added that he didn’t want to put her out by asking for any more, so this will probably be his only game. Rockwell also attended Game 7 of the 1962 World Series against the Yankees at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park.

Jenny is a fan of the Giants and public transportation.
BART is boring. I used to live in San Francisco and loved riding Muni. There’s just general coolness going on around you at all times. Plus, you’re above ground so you get to take in the sites.
BART is another story. People are expressionless and generally in a sour mood. And you’re below ground so you see squat for scenery.
But the World Series changed that normal dourness on BART on Thursday night. On my ride to the city, the BART conductor announced the score mid-game. Post-game, on my ride home to the East Bay, people were talking to one another for once. There were cheers and smiles all around. People even gave up their seats for once.
That night was almost as good as Obama winning 2008 elections. Almost.
Go, Giants!
