SLC Pink Guy

ON THE MOVE AGAIN

2007-06-04T21:46:00.000-07:00

OK, so we've pretty much established that Pink Guy likes to hang around the 9th and 9th neighborhood. Here he rides past the former location of the Coffee Garden, no doubt on his way to the new location of the Coffee Garden.

Go Pink Guy, Go!

Pink Guy loves the 9th and 9th neighborhood of coffee shops and restaurants.

Here he is going for some java after dark...

And across the street at the bakery, for a salad, muffins and more coffee...

Slave to fashion

The picture is hazy but undoubtedly shows Pink Guy back at 9th and 9th Starbucks on May 21. Notice how he has his faux fur pink jumper to look great on the outside, while sipping on a frappucino to stay cool on the inside. Slave to fashion.

PINK AND ORANGE?

2007-05-17T21:40:00.000-07:00

Julian reports today: "Pink Guy spotted on 700 East riding north... happy as a clam wearing orange and pink. Maybe today was a special day."

Anyone else seen Pink Guy in a color other than pink?

PINK WORKS HIS GUNS!

Mr. Pinks as I have been calling him, enjoys working on hit fitness at the 24-hr in Sugar House. His favorite outfit is pale pink spandex pants and a long sleeve purle/pink tye dye shirt. I will attempt to get photos of him in action, but as you know he is elusive. He seems to enjoy the treadmill.

Other Encounters:
My friend had to give him a pedicure once in the Sugarhouse area. He said it was the worst experience of his life.

I have seen Mr. Pinks at the Starbuck's on 4th and 7th washing his feet with a bottle of water. He was sitting on the patio basking in the sun and rinsing his tooties with a bottle of Arrowhead.

I love your website !

He's alive!

2007-05-14T22:10:00.000-07:00

Mistress Julie renewed my hopes about Pink Guy's survival today when she sent in the following report:

Saw the pink guy this morning at 9:15 at the Coffee Garden 9th and 9th. He was even using a pink paper cup for his coffee.

And then...

... could it really be?

Yes! Eureka! Hallelujah! And Dy-no-mite!

I saw Pink Guy on his bike doing laps around Liberty Park!

Thank the Pink Gods in Heaven! He's alive! Our research can continue!

Where is Pink Guy?

2007-05-10T22:59:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time since anyone has reported a Pink Guy sighting. Did His Pinkness migrate for the summer?

Anyone?

Anyone?

No Pink Guy sightings lately (perhaps he has an adversion to rain?) Found these two pictures on The Wolf's blog.

Salt Lake City Weekly, in its annual "Best of Utah" awards, has named Pink Guy "Best Local Eccentric on the Street." (Which leads one to wonder whether there is, in fact, a better local eccentric off the street.)
