Peter Acworth's recent triumph of climbing the Armory's rickety flagpole to hang the San Francisco City flag was only bittersweet, as one more bare flagpole lay nearby, begging to be adorned. But Peter retired early from his career as a death-defying stuntman and sought out a brave employee to raise the second flag in his stead. While more safety precautions, manpower, and time were dedicated to the task, the fears and risks are still the same the second time around. Despite some hurdles, Kink.com's fearless Prop Master, the Korean Owl, managed to install and raise the California State flag on the Armory's second flagpole. Seeing both city and state flags flying high above the Mission neighborhood make Peter want to erect 2 additional flagpoles so that a variety of flags may be flown. He hopes to use the Armory's flagpoles to show the neighborhood that Kink.com celebrates the many different communities and lifestyles that make San Francisco such a wonderfully diverse place to live.
