Kim's brother, sister-in-law, niece, Kim, and I were walking around the drag after breakfest this morning, and we wanted to use the restroom in Barnes and Noble. Any potty would do, but that one's always nice.

We went up stairs, and found a sign that was a copy of a letter from the city that said, to summerize, "now that the cafe has only 19 seats, it doesn't require a restroom. 20 seats are required." So, they took away one seat so they could shut down the bathrooms. Bummer, eh?

So, Kim and I met Chris, Sammi, and Amber outside who were looking at one of the murals in the renaissance market. We told them about the closed restrooms and the sign, and one of the merchants overheard and said, "They've been having problems with a free-style 'poop-artist.' And they're just tired of cleaning it up, so they shut it down."

As you can guess, all of us said, "huh?"

"Yup. For the past two years some poop-artist has been going all up and down here messing up the bathrooms. The only one we can use is next door [Jamba Juice]. Those people are so nice. I'd hate to have to clean up after the poop-artist."

So there you have it: the drag has a poop-artist.
