Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

Box Monster
Most of us have seen the Bushman. He is an enterprising fellow who sits on a milk crate at Fisherman's Wharf holding bush branches in front of him to hide from sight. As tourists stroll along Jefferson Street the Bushman rattles the branches and growls. The tourists are almost always startled and most drop something into the donations can always by the Bushman's side.
There is a video circulating across the Internet of the Box Monster. This is a great idea for an enterprising street performer. All the performer needs is a few cardboard boxes and a good corner where a lot of tourists pass.
Watch the short video of the Box Monsterand you will see the opportunities!
A box monster would be a great addition to the Bushman's performances. A box monster would also be a refreshing change from thoseI-can-stand-perfectly-still-with-a-panhanlding-cup-in-my-handstreet performers who have become so tired and annoying.
And by the way ... if you would like to see the now-famous video of George Bush attempting to massage the German Chancellor's neck (and the Chancellor throws up her arms with an expression on her face that can best be described as yuck), you will find it here.
