Mission Mission

Somebody used this to get to Nirvana’s big show at the Warfield. Think about that.

It definitely looks just like some OP board shorts I had back then.

That’s right, folks. Come October, the Muni Fast Pass will be no more. Replaced by some kind of Translink-related thing. SFist has the whole story. We have, by way of early memorial, a bunch more rad antique fast passes:

(more…)

Duuude! This is a fast pass from the month of my birth! Everything from January ’81 is raaaad!!

@johnxorz sends us this Bay to Breakers costume honoring transportation lost. (I think you could fit a lot of beer in there.)

I miss that bus.

Any other Muni-related outfits? Maybe Nate Ford holding a giant axe and burning money?

Reader Moderniste had a run-in with some huge nuts on the 22 the other day, and wrote about it on Violation Report:

The bus was full, and I really needed to sit down. And this prince of a guy was “saving” the last available seat for his apparently HUGE testicles.

Bravely, I tried to wedge myself into the 8 inches of seat left, thinking that my difficulty in trying to sit down would clue him in to moving aside a bit. (And mind you, I am a very thin person.) Alas, this Alpha Male cared more about his outsized genitalia than my comfort. So I stood back up and snapped his picture

Thanks, M!

KTVU says no injuries were reported. Thank goodness!

So what happened? Somebody put a penny on the track?

The Makeout Room has become the go-to location for folks who want a little bit of personal sharing with their whiskey, and tonight will be no different as it hosts the latest incarnation of Muni Diaries Live.  The fun starts at 7:30 TONIGHT and goes until 9:30pm, and it’s free!  Check out this line up:

Comedian Will Franken
Fun(ny) guy Johnny FunCheap
BART operator Kelly Beardsley
Vero Majano of Mission Media Archives
The delightful music of McPuzo and Trotsky
And last but not least, the Cock-Ts will return to … get us all in the mood.

I’m also excited by the prospect of Silvi from the Poetry Store hammering away on a good old-fashioned typewriter in the corner, chronicling the moments of the evening with a dash of poetic whimsy.

Come on out and prove that Muni riders can do a lot more than just complain about crazy delays caused by the horrific accident yesterday at Castro station that resulted in a person on the tracks being struck and killed by a Muni train, which tragically occured just one day after another unfortunate man died after being run over and then pinned underneath a bus.

We sure didn’t. SF Weekly has the scoop, buried in some kind of article about Muni budget woes or something.

So, what kind of fun should we have with this?

(Thanks to Ani for the tip! And the title, sort of!)

Flickr photographer petespix75‘s photostream is a treasure trove of Muni trolleys through the ages. My favorite are these early ’80s J’s in Dolores Park (doye, the ’80s and Dolores Park are my two favorite things), but you might prefer the even older stuff after the jump: (more…)

Hidden Host introduced a new feature today titled “Teen Talk.” In it, we learn what topics are hot among teens on the bus. A selection:

Your cousin’s skin is beautiful.  You think it’s because they are “mixed”.

Your soda is flat.

An inquiry into whether or not your cousin got tickets to a much sought-after show.
