At Muni Diaries, we don’t have a Donate button or many ads, but we do have a little merchandise shop, and this is where you can help. You can help us make a little change to pay our web developer by donating your old Fast Passes! We’ll turn your old Fast Passes into the fantastic Clipper Card holders you see in this post (crafted by Heathered), and the sales will help support our story-telling endeavors and make this site better-looking and more fun to browse. Plus, we’ll give you one of the card holders (your choice) as a thank-you.

So, if you have a stack of old Fast Passes that you don’t know what to do with, won’t you consider donating them to Muni Diaries? Email us at muni.diaries.sf@gmail.com and let us know!

You’ve only got one day left to vote in the San Francisco Bay Guardian’s Best of the Bay 2011. It’s your chance to tell the Guardian the best of our city, everything from the best pot edibles and best magician to the best place to watch the sunset. There are lots of categories sprinkled throughout the survey, including local blogs and websites, so check out our friends in our blog roll if you’re in need of ideas.

Oh, and on page 5 you can vote for the Best Overall Local Blog. If you’ve enjoyed reading Muni Diaries, please show us a little love!

Vote in the San Francisco Bay Guardian Best of the Bay 2011

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!

Tweet us your Muni/BART/Caltrain ride to tomorrow’s Giants Tweetup game, and you can win a handsome leather beer holster! Imagine yourself at the game toting your $6 Bud Lite in a custom leather beer holster by Brew Holster Cult, leaving your hands free to catch a foul ball or flip off any Indians fans who cross your path. All you have to do is tweet us something amusing about your Muni/BART/Caltrain ride to the game and we’ll choose a random lucky winner.

Include an #sfgiants hashtag, and @munidiaries, @bartdiaries, or @caltraindiaries at the end of your tweet to make sure we put your name in the hat, and follow us on Twitter to find out the winner.

Again, to recap:

I mean, seriously, all you gotta do is tweet at us about your ride and you get this:

If you want a more children-friendly prize, we also have an adorable Muni Diaries baby onesie and a gift bag of Chronicle Books to give away to two more winners who tweet their Giants ride to us.

Fine print: anyone who tweets their Giants ride at @munidiaries, @bartdiaries, and @caltraindiaries is eligible. We won’t be able to retweet all of you because we’ll be too busy woo-hooing our beloved World Series champions at the game, but rest assured that your name will be in the hat for the three prizes. We’ll announce the winner here and on Twitter on Saturday.

So keep your eyes peeled and ears open for great fan photos, overheard shenanigans, and other happenings on your ride to AT&T Park, and share what you see.

Over the weekend we were lucky to find ourselves at a small gem of an art space in the Inner Sunset at the Art I.S. Getting (t)here opening party. Curated by Tanya Marie Vlach and Faern, the show features local artists whose work involves themes of transportation and journey.

In the curator’s own words, the show focuses on “themes of transportation, journey, process, destination, road less traveled; whatever transporting means to you.”

At the show you can find great photography, mixed media work, installation art, and just generally really well-curated art by local artists. And we’ve set up a small Muni Diaries station for you to share your own tales of transportation!

A little sneak peek for you:
