Pimpin' Ain't Easy When Poster Nazis are Around

Nov 20, 2008 22:07

Did you know that the Castro has a Poster Nazi? It's true! Apparently, there's a guy (Fred says his name is Rick, but I prefer Poster Nazi) in the Castro who considers it his personal mission in life to tear down posters for clubs and events when they are taped on utility poles. He's not a police officer, or part of the Castro Community Club, he ( Read more... )

Beautiful Poster Art.

And this guy is an old fart, ain't he? I know just the one you mean.

It's really nice, no? And the posters were high quality paper too...that's what really ticked me off.

i've seen him quite a few times pulling down posters. i've never seen him do it outside daylight ... so put up your posters in the early evening ...

Actually, that's what I did! The other night I went out and posted about 5 of the Blowoff posters in very specific places (target markets...hehe), and the next day I headed back to the Castro to pick up my comic books...the poles were wiped clean. I hear the Poster Nazi takes weekends off though. To be honest, I wasn't as ticked about the posters with my face on it as I was about the Blowoff ones...not due to any preference or shyness, but because the Blowoff posters are really high quality paper (whereas the Bearracuda ones are smaller, and a bit cheaper printing material). I'm still trying to put the posters up in some "target bars", but have gotten turned down at a couple of the places I asked first (not naming names).

Doing Blowoff tomorrow in DC, myself. I'm sure that Rich will be spinning his mix of the new Killer's single (yay!). One of my buddies does the Blowoff artwork (and the icon of me you see above). Sooooooo much fun! Hope you have fun at Slim's!

Oh man, I remember this guy from my time in SF...

Can you goose Mr. Morel for me?

What is the teddy bear looking at? *innocent whistle*

One of these days, I will attend a Blowoff party.

You absolutely should...the music Morel and Mould play is excellent, not the typical diva circuit stuff you hear at most gay clubs.
