Stop Demanded

A Web site devoted to complaining about Muni — okay, we get it. (Actually, we love it.) But a night of storytelling dedicated to our maligned transportation service? It’s enough to cause two people to fight, another to vomit, another to tag the inside of the whole vehicle, another to throw trash on the floor, another to give his backpack its own seat, another to lift a cheek and fart, another to drive the bus right past you at the stop, another to die (Oct. 19, 5-Fulton), and another to scream “Step down” with the vehemence of a drill sergeant.

Actually, these people don’t need any prompting, because they do this on Muni day in and out, making many run to www.munidiaries.com to vent — and, on occasion, praise. Tonight, many of them will be getting up to share their experiences, using puppets if the situation calls for it, at the second go-round of Muni Diaries Live! Under the Influence, emboldened by the transit cheers of the Cock T's — organizers are also inviting the audience onstage, so bring your best tale of woe. Please, take Muni: You might witness bus sex, when two or more vehicles press against one another and bump slowly down the line in flagrante delicto — everybody likes hearing about that.
