Ep. 37: George Downes's Encounter with San Francisco Icons

from Storied: San Francisco · host Jeff Hunt

George Downes is a San Francisco County Sheriff's deputy by day. Woo Woo Monroe is George's drag persona by night. In this podcast, George shares the story of one of his first New Year's Eves in San Francisco. A walk down to the Embarcadero to see the fireworks gave way to a chance meeting he had with two San Francisco icons—the Brown Twins, Marian and Vivian. In the second half of the podcast, George talks about taking a visiting friend to an SF leather bar for his birthday. Photo by Ashlynn Danielsen

The Art of Arms l’Arte Dell Armi At the Art of Arms we have one solitary vision, to bring the historical martial arts we study as HEMA or WMA practitioners to life by telling the stories of those who lived it. The hours of research, writing, transcription and translation are worth it when we get to see Altoni’s Spiedo section in action at the Baglioni Palazzo, Fiore’s armor techniques displayed on the battlefields of San Giovanni in Persiceto, Liectenauer’s rossfechten techniques thundering across the terrain of southern Germany, the Anonimo’s sword and gauntlet brought to bear in the lists of Mantua; these are the moments where history and martial arts meet, and we’re dedicated to bringing these moments to you our dear listeners.
