I found out through the grapevine that San Francisco would be hosting its first La Tomatina event minus the ham. For more information on La Tomatina look here. Anyways, the event was a blast and a little strange seeing that there were more photographers than there were participants. Here are some photos as usual on [...]
My friend Mike and I, using an idea of Jeff’s, that was evolved, and enacted, by a great group of people, decided to stage a mime and clown turf war in the streets. The event involved mimes getting pied, West Side Story dance moves, and a tricycle. The video explains it better than I ever could, so without [...]
I recently tagged along with some friends to visit a hay bail maze. It was a great experience with highlights including actually getting lost in the maze, a petting zoo, watching some people reenact sword fights in medieval armor, jumping into bus windows, a minotaur at the center of the labyrinth, and a pleasant picnic afterwards on the beach. The following picture is of [...]
Some friends of friends put on a great event each year at Folsom Street Fair. The event involves everyone dressing up in very prim and proper victorian era clothing and having a tea party in the middle of the crazy fetish sex romp that is the Folsom Street Fair. It adds a very nice contrast [...]
Having invested quite a lot of time in the CTFL over the last 2 years I finally felt ready to move onto other projects and let anyone else who was interested pick up the torch.

We dressed in the costumes shown below and talked the whole evening about our exploits and how immensely successful we had become. It was all [...]
So I have some friends at a game company called Three Rings who were invaded by pirates from a company called Instructables. See this video for explanation. In retaliation the Three Rings crowd organized a zombie invasion of Instructables. I helped by filming the event for prosperity. Someone else edited the footage and here is [...]
This year I was lucky enough to take part in the Zombie Flash mob that sometimes finds its way around San Francisco. For those of you unfamiliar with a zombie flash mob, check out their website here. I had planned ahead of time and bought a used chainsaw. I then modified it so that the chain/bar was [...]
This was the largest CTFL event I have ever hosted. There were roughly 200-250 people at the event and the costumes were magnificent. The event took place at Dolores Park and was a children’s tournament followed by a large scale battle with over 100 participants. Here is a link to the CTFL photos on Flickr. Also [...]
In preparation for the largest, and most insane Cardboard Tube Fighting League event yet, I arranged an armor building workshop at a local cafe. I was working on cardboard bagpipes while other peoples projects ranged from Optimus Prime, to a toilet paper roll.
