Hey guys,

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween over the weekend. Thanks to everyone who came out to Le Freak Boutique last Friday night at Infusion Lounge. The big $1000 costume contest prize was granted to a gentlemen in a Buzz Lightyear get-up. Marcus tells me the whole night was pretty awesome. I wish I had been able to go.

Not the actual winner

So in lieu of the recent Bay Bridge meltdown there was a huge increase in BART ridership last week. In fact, 442,000 people rode BART last Thursday, setting records for the transit agency. Increased populations on the BART trains could cause some irritation as not everyone is aware of proper riding etiquette. Erin Allday, a San Francisco Chronicle Staff Writer, came out with a timely report about proper etiquette while riding the BART trains. Here are some of the tips from her article:

When riding on the escalator, walk on the left and stand on the right.

You should always take your ticket out before you reach the turnstiles.

Leave the outside seat open, sit next to the window.

Do not place your bag or purse on an empty seat.

If you must speak on your cell phone, do so quietly.

If you are listening to music, keep it at a level not audible to everyone in the train.

Hopefully this tips ease the possible frustration from riding on BART. Since there have been reports that the Bay Bridge may face another impending closure people will now know proper Bart-etiquette.

We’re giving away Kelly Clarkson tickets ALL week on Alice at 9, noon, and 5. Ms. Clarkson recently did a cover of Kings of Leon when she was in New York City. I think it’d be cool to see her do some more covers. Video below.

Maybe if you win the chance to meet Kelly backstage you could personally ask her to cover something for you.

Peace,
Intern Kelly
