Eddie Codel helped Chicken John put together awesome video, using footage shot by Jeremy Pollock, of Chicken’s visit to San Francisco’s City Hall last Friday, when he dropped off his giant check so he could be officially added to the election ballot.
Here’s Chicken’s account of the whole surreal experience, including running into Gavin Newsom after touring Gavin’s Chicken John’s future office. As it turns out, Gavin actually wanted to donate the money that Chicken asked him for in the Bay Guardian ad, but was told that it would be illegal. Also Chicken asked Gavin to debate him in the future and Gavin said that it would be fun. I can’t wait for that one.
Speaking of Chicken and his mayoral campaign, he was recently a guest on The RU Sirius Show. He talks about some of his previous projects, including ScrapHouse, as well as his platform for City of Art and Innovation.

The background music was too loud and as a result I couldn’t hear some of the dialog. Tragic mistake in the editing process.
I hear chicken john chickened out of a debate at city hall this friday….what gives? can’t take the heat so the chicken meat runs away, away from the candidate’s meet…..only wants to be with the elite….art for art’s sake not one person’s sake…is it less than jake or less than john, when can we find out who’s the bigger fake, the chicken with the big beak, or the mayor with the hair gel who is really meek?
Where does one get one of those giant checks, anyway? I want to pay my child support bills in style!
Yea. I’m afraid to debate. That’s a hot one. I’m just not available on Fridays. I have my Songa group, and I’m not giving up my meditation practice to argue with idiots like H. Brown. That’s a reasonable thing to say.
But yea, I’ll debate anyone at anytime for any reason. Actually, I debate people for no reason all the time.
I’m not from california so I’m not all up to date on current politics and whatnot. I have a question.
Is Gavin Newsom a robot? I’m just curious.
Does is voice occasionally hiccup like a skipping cd? When something hits him, is there a metallic ‘thunk’ sound? Which way does he vote on possible, evil robot insurgency issues?
What the heck is “Songa”? And I definitely prefer h. brown’s local political “idiocy” over your crass commercialization. Your running for office, including the cute lovefest with the empty suit that is Gavin Newsom, is sort of revolting. By the way, I signed your stupid petition for mayor and really, really wish I hadn’t.
commercialization? Like as in: commerce? Money? Hmmmm… I’ll have to think about that. As for signing the petition, what difference does it make? Gavin will easily win. So my campaign is here for your amuzement. Stop being so serious. Golly.
