Private Parts for the taking…

Posted on September 25, 2011 | 1 comment

This VHS tape has been languishing in the landing of my building for nearly a week, looking for a new home. Any takers? Apparently Howard Stern’s Private Parts have lost their appeal, if they ever had any…

Kook Both Ways

Posted on August 30, 2011 | Leave a comment

Is this an example of the city’s attempts to keep its Yiddish-speaking citizens safe when they cross the street (“Kook” is Yiddish for “Look,” the usual word spray-painted in SF crosswalks)…or a graffiti artist’s commentary on the eccentricity of San Francisco’s citizenry?
Seen on Folsom St. in the Mission.

Gandhi, Defaced

Seen in Wiese Alley in the Mission District of San Francisco. Not sure if the vandal doesn’t like Gamdhi, or just wanted a place to tag.

Payphone: Free Call to God

Posted on August 25, 2011 | Leave a comment

Seen on a pay phone at the CalTrain station in San Francisco: Apparently you can now call God (or a bank) for free. There were too many drunk Giants fans swarming the station, so I didn’t stick around and make a toll-free call to God…but if anyone else has gotten through to the Divine on this pay phone, I’d love to hear how your call went!

Shoes over the Armory

Posted on August 23, 2011 | 1 comment

A pair of shoes strung over a wire above the old Armory building in the Mission (now home to kink.com studios), with a San Francisco flag waving in the background. I’m not sure whose idea it was to throw the first pair of shoes over a high wire, but it now seems to be a trend, of sorts. Urban art, perhaps? Not sure if this qualifies, but I thought it was worth posting.
