April 27, 2012

In San Diego, CA, most people don't even know the real name of the biggest celebrity in town. The man is known only as Slomo. He is an aged gentleman - maybe in his 50's, early 60's, and he spends his days skating down beach-side Ocean Front Walk doing a form of Tai Chi on roller blades, in slow motion, and to a soundtrack. Usually, he is wearing a bucket hat, blue tanktop, Bermuda shorts, his safety pads, roller blades, and of course his music. The young locals yell out his moniker "Slomo!" as he wistfully glides by blaring music (mostly classical) from his on-person speakers. In a beach town filled with characters, Slomo is the king of them all.
