Copy Kenneth Sarachan's disguise
We sat next to a guy at Blondie's Pizza tonight who was huddled over a small plate of chicken wings, had crazy grey hair, hadn't shaved and had old gray clothes on--looked (but didn't smell) like most of the homeless people I see hanging around Market St. I thought it was weird that out of all the tables, Rob chose this one. We ate, and I didn't think much of it. Until an employee came by with a small notebook, and I thought, "How nice. They are going to give him a job". Then, as I listened to their conversation and watched the employee scribble everything this guy said, I realized that, no, this is not a homeless man, but most likely Kenneth Sarachan, owner of 3 successful pizza restaurants, and 7 cool music stores in the Bay area. Just by the way the Blondie employee was writing down everything he said, and the comments he was making. It was unreal. I did some research, and found this article on Kenneth. He must be worth more than I'll ever know. When I googled his name for images, nothing came up. So I guess I won't know for sure if it was really him or not. Can someone verify this?

That's really cool! But why was he dressed like a bum?
no, but do tell me more about cool music stores in SF!!
The only music store you need to know about in SF is Amoeba.

There are 7 Rasputin music stores that I hear are pretty good too
great! thanks ladies.
Yes that was Ken. I worked for him in a note book scribbling capacity for five years in the mid 1990s in Berkeley. Absolutely him. Totally impressive, savvy business man, with a huge heart for those on the inside.
I have no idea who that last anonymous comment was, but he's a fucking nightmare and, yes, that was likely him. I work in one of the top selling Rasputin's stores in the chain of 9 (formerly 10) and have been privy to at least a few of his tantrums including throwing DVD's at managers under his employ. I've never seen him do a Blondie's visit, but I've known who he was and what he looked like long before I was under his employ.
yep that was him

Is he married or does he have a family, I mean a normal family?
Ken. has a wife. That is him.
He ripped off a family so bad that they had to go on food stamps....Ken used this guy like a tool....A man making 8 bucks an hour had to use his personal car, personal phone and PERSONAL time to fix this millionaire's house.....Then the millionaire failed to pay....Ken has a reputation for ripping people off. Though he does not need to 650 million, is what he is worth!
