In the Pink(man):

Pinkman (aka Michael John Maxfield) has been riding a unicycle in a pink unitard throughout the Bay Area over the last decade. I’ve seen in on a few occasions and always thought of him as a fixture here in San Francisco which probably explains why he’s been interviewed by SFist.

Rumor has it he’s moved to New York which certainly can’t be for economic reasons. If it’s true though, our city will be a bit less interesting. And a lot less pink.

  1. So I’m more than a month late on this comment, but maybe you’d like to know: Pink Man’s been traveling! A couple of friends and myself picked Pink Man up from the Jacksonville, FL airport tonight after his month-or-so trip in Paris. We dropped him off at a motel with $50 to his name. He doesn’t know how long he’s staying here or where he’s going next, but that doesn’t seem to bother him. He’s too busy pinking!

  3. August 3rd, 2005: PINK MAN SIGHTING
    in Jacksonville, Florida!
    Mike Maxwell, AKA “J.M. Maxworth;” AKA “Jacque Miguel;” AKA “Johnny Rottenhausenbergestinkenstien”, AKA “Pink Man,” AKA “Tony daWheelie,” was sighted on August 3, 2005 as he was unicycling down Stockton Avenue, in Jacksonville Florida. He was wearing a pink unitard. Eyewitnesses standing at at the Bus Stop stated that he was carrying a 40-ounce bottle of Colt 45 in his left hand and a sorry little sack of groceries with some carrots sticking out the top cradled under his right arm.
    Two eyewitnesses claimed that he also was also carrying a lit sparkler clenched between his buttocks, but this story was not corroborated by and of the bus stop witnesses.

  5. PinkMan often rides his unicycle in my community, a place called five points in Jacksonville, Florida.
    His real name is Michael, or so he says. He’s always hitting on me and my girlfriends, but none of us will go out with him because he’s like really weird. He thinks he’s some kind of guru or something but its way obvious that he’s the center of his own little one-wheel universe.
    He made a pass at one of my friends and when she wouldn’t go out with him he got realy mad and got this crazy look in his eyes that freaked her out. so now none of us want anything to do with the pink weirdo.

  7. It’s tricky enough keeping the balance in my life without people spreading lies about me. I have NO Idea what this Ashlie is talking about. You can ask anyone in the community, from cops to tatoo artists about how I carry myself with others in public. I probably shouldn’t be waisting my time defending myself from Ashlie, oh Ashlie. Anyone that knows me knows there is no way I would get angry at someone simply because she wouldn’t go out with me.
    If you want to slander me Ashlie, shouldn’t you try to lie a little more creatively? And yes, I am the center of my universe, if you don’t recognize that you are as well, you’re going to continue this fantasy tatiling stuff, just to feel some sort of, any sort of energy, probably well into your seventies. That’s just not enough fun for you, is it?

  9. Alright kids, everybody take a time out.
    Ashlie, I have no idea what you speak of but if that was your experience, super. Over here, we have a weakness for wild, inexplicable gestures and as such, have nothing but love for His Pinkness. We wish him speedy return to the Bay Area.
