In San Francisco, there are things that you hear on the street.
One of the things that I love the most about San Francisco is the vibrant street life. Creativity strikes at any time of day or night and trudging up the hills is made much more enjoyable by the various street performers.

Unsurprisingly, my mind jumped first to the men and women I see everyday on the street, making a living from the attention of complete strangers through performance art. The parallel to advertising isn’t lost on me. As I stalked around downtown looking for someone to interview, the commonalities that both ad professionals and street performers share wasn’t lost on me. In some ways I thought, it seems that the main difference is our profit margins.
I caught up with a San Francisco staple, someone who I’ve watched ever since I moved here 4 years ago. Faithful readers, I present…
