Muni's Guide to the Weekend: An Elaborate Web of Closures

riddlebus.png
The weekend's coming up, and that means that Muni's got a long list of street closures and cancellations. And this week, the radical homosexual agenda is to blame: for several nights, streets around the Castro will be closed due to filming for the hilarious smash-hit romantic comedy Milk. In the film, Hilary Swank plays a cold-as-ice milkmaid who's sworn she'll never fall in love again. But when she unwillingly becomes the guardian of a precocious 14-year-old lesbian (Zack Efron), everything she thought she knew about life ... will come squirting out her nose.

Aaaaaaaanyway, expect shutdowns on the F, the 6, the 7, 26, 38, 71 ... wait, the 38? Wha? Apparently the Castro isn't the only area being hit. We're having a hard time keeping track of exactly where all these closures are happening; lucky thing they're mostly between 8pm and 6am, when only perverts are out of the house.

After the jump: details! Factual ones, too; not the made-up kind.

Here's what Muni has to say about closures this weekend -- and this stuff's all true, unlike the made-up first half of this post.
