Someone’s figured out how to change the message on the road sign!

Sean and I are making some fake brick walls. It’s just a big sheet of styrofoam with the brick pattern cut out with blue painters tape. Then hold a heat gun over it and the exposed foam shrinks, creating a mortar line. The hard part is the painting.

down on the corner, out in the street
I remember my Mom had this album when I was a kid. I loved to listen to it. Just the other day Doug showed me the corner where the market used to be. The Chinese family that owned the shop moved on and the sign was stolen in the 1990′s, and then a few years ago the building was renovated. Here’s what it looks like now…
12 galaxies for rent
This is probably only interesting to San Franciscan readers….at a prop rental place here in The City they have the crazy dude’s sign! For those that don’t know, a guy shows up all over town at public events holding a sign like this with variations on intergalactic doom and local politics. Some people have paid him to write a line of advertising on it. Now there’s even a night club named 12 Galaxies in the Mission District. No movie shot in San Francisco should miss their chance to add real local color.

fruit pic
Another in a long list of photo shoots I worked on. The image you will see in a magazine will make you think this is somewhere deep in the country in the middle of an apricot orchard. It’s not. It’s behind a fence in a planned golf/retirement community. Everything is fake in magazines. Only your emotional response to it is real.
Tonight the Flagpoles are playing at The Bottom of the Hill, if anyone wants to stop by and watch our progress.
