Kook Both Ways

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Maštíŋčala Sáŋ | 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

Posted on August 28, 2011 by Maštíŋčala Sáŋ | 1 comment

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.

Shoes over the Armory

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Maštíŋčala Sáŋ | 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.

Words, words, words…are always written on context-sensitive paper. (Homotextual Slide Show!)

In a paraphrase of the Bard’s famous tale, the Queen asks the Prince: “What are you reading, Hamlet?” and he replies: “Words, words, words…” 500 years later the gay literary great William Burroughs said “Language is a virus from outer space.” Well…that would certainly explain a lot!

More Homotextuality here, here, and here.

Beautiful SOMA Banksy – Hot Rat!

Banksy on 9th St. SF. Photo: Gay Highwaymen, Dec 2010.

Banksy! We snapped this shot on 9th St between Folsom and Harrison Streets in San Francisco’s SOMA (South of Market) district some time back. Popped up “just so” during last year’s run of Exit Through The Gift Shop.

Hey, B,…if you ever want to extend your marvelous marks into the rural fabulosity of NorCal, you are invited. Hospitality, anonymity, great groovy walls and other cool surfaces guaranteed!

Sight seen on MUNI Bus. Hot Guest Photo

Posted on June 30, 2011 by gayhighwaymen | 1 comment

Ah, the intrinsic ambiguity of the written word. Is that a hot photo or a photo from a hot guest contributor? They say it’s six of one and a half dozen of the other, but here at GH, we say it’s 100% x 2! Thank YOU to SMG for this one.
