This guy is one of two men who were talking outside of the Books Inc. store on Van Ness. I passed by them on my way to have dinner at Max’s at the Opera House, and I think I noticed this man in particular because he seemed a bit under dressed for the chilly evening weather. I think I remembered him because, although I couldn’t make out most of what he was saying–and I wasn’t really trying to listen in–I did overhear the name Kobena Mercer, which does not often make its way into conversation. I have to admit that I was curious about the context.
