Tunnel Man
Wednesday, February 8th, 20063rd of a series*:
This man was doing some sort of vocal calisthenics in a tunnel across from the Conservatory of Flowers at Golden Gate Park in SF. He was quite shy about his picture being taken. That’s my uncle walking in front of me. You probably hear my aunt yapping in the background.
*I probably should’ve called this series “SFO Oddities” or “Weird SF” or something.

Echo Guy
Wednesday, February 8th, 2006This is the first of a series of videos I uploaded to YouTube:
I took this video in front of Moscone Center in San Francisco last month. The man shown here is equipped with a megaphone helmet and is spouting off unintelligible nonsense to Macworld attendees passing by.
