Notable: The Cowboys

These two guys are dressed like cowboys every day (?) for reasons we do not know. They are also sometimes called the 49er’s. Often they are found walking downtown on 5th Avenue and have been spotted at Champion Costume Shop.

The Cowboys spotted at Ballard 80 days ago

If it’s the guys I’m thinking of (and, really, who else could I be thinking of…), they used to come into the REStore all the time. They lived in a small motor home on 14th near there, I’d occasionally see them entering or leaving. As far as I remember, they never bought anything (I suspect they were just hanging out), and never really said much. In the last year or so I worked there (2007-ish), I didn’t see them so much. There used to be a lot of people living in their cars on the median of 14th ave, but there was a move afoot to clean that area up, so there’s fewer and fewer these days.

I really never saw them more than like 2 feet from each other. Though, I suppose, if I /did/ see either one of them alone, I wouldn’t have recognized them anyway. One cowboy is nothing. But /two/ cowboys…

These guys used to show up and heckle the needle exchange table with right wing xtian & homophobic slurs.
