labrujahIt's hard to explain why an old green bus packed with performance artists and bicycles-turned-psychotic-carnival-rides is pulling a trailer with three 10-foot-tall dachshund heads from San Francisco to New York.
"New York seems hungry for San Francisco's, uh, whatever you call it," Scott Beale, one of the road trip organizers, said at the launch Tuesday in front of the Carousel Diner near Ocean Beach.
"We don't really have an answer to that one," admitted John Law, steward of the three Doggie Diner heads, icons of a bygone Bay Area fast-food chain as well as icons of San Francisco's underground arts scene.
Fourteen members of that eclectic scene, who gathered Tuesday under the last Doggie Diner head in use, are taking this road show through middle America on their way to their final destination at CBGB's Gallery in Manhattan.
As oddball as all that sounds, the artists hope the rest of the country doesn't dismiss them as San Francisco hippies or, as Law put it, "teenagers on drugs."
"We're angst-ridden, middle-aged artists," Law said.
