He covers most of his face, hands, and head with duct tape. Oh yeah his car too. We’ve seen him at Golden Gardens two or three times and once at Trader Joe’s in U-district. We have a picture of the car but not one of him yet.
i went through the starbuck’s drive-thru and he was standing in front with a coffee decked out in his usual trench coat. half his face was duct taped, the other half was a really weird, gross yellowish color, and he had one of those old-lady rolling carts.
He comes in all the time, and all the employees run away to the other side of the store because he smells so bad. He usually just walks around and buys one or two things
Duct Tape Guy walked by while we were eating doughnuts in a friend’s backyard. I didn’t realize the duct tape was a beak and thought he had duct-taped his mouth shut. I was Very Creeped Out until I stumbled across an LJ post which lead me here. Thanks Seattle Notables!
We fed him cake. We were serving cake to my sister and her boyfriend out of the trunk of our parked car on the ave (they had missed the cake part of a small celebration we had earlier in the day). My sister’s beau took a picture of a man on the street with a can of beer and struck up a conversation with him. We fed him cake. And as soon as he received his cake, out of nowhere ‘duct tape man’ appears for his serving. We gave him a piece too. We looked around to see if anyone else would be coming out of the woodwork for cake and then took off.
Duct Tape Guy was sitting in the alley behind Kai’s, enjoying a cup of what appeared to be SBC. Today, he dispensed with the usual clear plastic face shield, and was sporting a welding mask.
(Also, his proper name is HazMat Guy, not Duct Tape Guy. I’ve been enjoying the reaction that he elicts here in the U-District for, gee, must be about 6-7 years now…)
He went into the “neighborhood center” to try to use the public phone-then was told to use the payphone accross the street in front of Bartell’s. The lady who works there says that he use to wear a “bee-keepers” mask back in the day, also he smelled awful (arguably the worst smelling transient ever?).
DTG was spotted relaxing in the shade in the park adjacent to the Montlake Cut.
Duct Tape Guy (aka the Homeless Astronaut) comes into the U District Trader Joe’s almost daily. He takes a sample and some coffee from the demo station, buys one item, pays with cash, is very polite and exits leaving behind bewildered customers and a lingering stench that won’t quit. If it weren’t for that awful smell, I would welcome his visits. As it is, I admire upwind.
My Co-Worker said he seen him early in the morning. I am calling Shennaniggans on this story until I see pictures.
The other day I was in Home Depot to get a key made. As I’m looking around for an employee to help me out I spotted a somewhat homeless looking man wearing a mask. “Oh, that’s nice” you might say, “what kind of mask?” you might ask. Well, let me tell you, his mask was made entirely of duct tape! It had holes for his eyes and mouth (picture Dr. Doom) and a clear safety sheild, which was in the upright position. So this guy walks up to an employee and asks … “What aisle is the duct tape on?” ... WHAT AISLE IS THE DUCT TAPE ON?! Oh my freaking god, am I dreaming this? Apparently I was not dreaming, because that same employee ended up making my key for me, and he wouldn’t shut up about the duct tape guy.
I was driving to work, he was walking down the street near South Lake Union. I’ve seen him there 3 different mornings. On at least one occassion, he was wearing a clear safety shield over his face as well.
