BART dresses join rich collection of Bay Area wearable transit

Leave a comment

BART_fashions

It’s hard to imagine wanting anything BART touching your bare skin. But these dresses—one made with BART tickets, the other inspired by a station map—are amazing. (Spotted in the window of Piedmont Fabric in Oakland.)

This Bay Area transit-inspired fashion isn’t a one-off, either. Check out this rad Muni maps dress and this corgi dressed like a BART train.

These Clipper Card and Fast Pass Halloween costumes (who are those dorks, anyway?!) don’t involve nearly as much fashion-design know-how or, um, style, but we enjoy them all the same.

Video Diary: London Bus Driver Story

Leave a comment

Driving a bus is more than just getting people from point A to point B, and this London bus driver tells you why. Reader Florian sent us this video, which is actually an ad by Siemens for hybrid technology. But it’s one of those ads that makes you forget that you’re watching one.

We’ve heard lots of great driver stories from you, like a driver who stood up for your fare rights, the Muni driver who hands out lollipops, or a driver who decorates his bus for Halloween. Maybe they’d make a great video for SFMTA. I want royalties for this idea. Just saying.

Bruce Lee Raps on BART

Leave a comment

BART rider Nick saw this Bruce Lee look-alike rapping on BART last week (note: not Halloween!). Yes, Bruce Lee. Rapping. On BART. Words that shouldn’t belong in the same sentence, but then again, anything can happen on Muni and BART!

Click the video to see Bruce Lee in his full rhyming glory.

Thanks, Nick!

Video: Live Rickroll on Muni

One comment

Not sure how we could have missed this on Halloween but check it out: “Two guys. One girl. One dream. To real-life rickroll an entire city on Halloween.”

Are we all familiar with the idea of rickroll? Here it goes:

“When Jason put the boombox above his head, it played 5 seconds of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” (per Say Anything) and then suddenly jumped to “Never Gonna Give You Up.” My costume was modified to be tear-away, and I was Rick Astley underneath. Boom. Real life rickroll.”

These guys did it all over town, and of course the N and L got rickrolled properly! Check out the video. Props to @SaraMurphy for sending this video our way … and in effect, rickrolling us, too!

I just got back into the country after being in southeast Asia for two weeks. Totally have that “two left shoes” feeling. But beer and Game 7 of the World Series and Muni Diaries help ease the blow of being back. I missed you guys!

Eugenia was kind enough (tee hee) to give me the wheel on Weekend Photos. And so …

Halloween happens on on Monday this year, which means we get to celebrate all weekend, all the way into the Day of the Dead!

Three fun things to do:

Zombie Dance and Costume Party, at Metronome Dance Collective. You know you’ve always wanted to dance like Michael Jackson, and now you can. Learn Thriller steps with Ricardo and Christina, followed by a Latin ballroom and salsa party. Tonight at 8 p.m., 1830 17th Street at DeHaro. Take the 10, 19, or 22.

Waldo Pub Crawl (via FunCheapSF). Waldos will be everywhere this Saturday, thanks to this flashmob. Get your red and white stripes ready! Check Waldo Pub Crawl Facebook page for details.

All Hallow’s Eve. Goth and industrial music. Pile on the black eyeliner and black nail polish because this is going to be a good one . Sunday at 9 p.m. DNA Lounge, 375 11th St. Take the 9, 12, 27, or 47.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!
