Unfortunately I was never able to find a good website on which to post the things I found. Found Magazine has an online section called “Find of the Day” but it only allows tiny images, and the wait to get your finds posted is interminable. Fed up, I designed, coded and published my own solution to this internet shortcoming. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: GutterGold.com. Feel free to peruse, rate and comment upon my finds, subscribe to the RSS feed, or post some of your own finds. Also: tell your friends!

From the site, “Training to Be a Spy“:Trainging to be a spy

Almost every time I walk from Chelsea‘s house to the bus, it has changed. For a while I thought it would make a cool art project to photgraph all the different things it says, but I have no camera. Today I had a great idea: I could tweet them! So from now on, you can find out what the hill is currently saying here: https://twitter.com/sfcchill (updated every time I pass it).

Quite a while ago, I submitted several of my finds for consideration. As of now, four of them have been chosen. They are not my most interesting finds, but the large community which reads these finds, have left numerous comments.

Possibly when I was at OperaWorks. If anyone remembers, let me know. [edit] Chelsea reminded me that she found it in the water on the beach when we were in Aruba last year[/edit]

This is an intense love letter to Alfonso. From the letter: “still, the fire hasn’t burnt out yet for us Baby, just keep holding on to me Alfonso”

Because the photo I took is such poor quality, I have transcribed it here below:

Quotes: “There will be no more possible options of prostitution…” and “The Sex Bumpmobile ‘Last Option’ on Girls Lives was shut down by me weeks ago”.

Full transcription after the jump.

Transcription:

*Update On Money Unpaid To Me And Evil Needed To Be Stopped*
*Please Read* *by: Jennifer “Jenna” Pincetl*
*Very Important* *Febuary 7, 2008*

* Any and all money owed to me has still not been paid to me and I continue to suffer from being broke on the streets

* Many people must be lying and saying they have paid me because this seems to be a surprise to many

*The Sex Bumpmobile ‘Last Option’ on Girls Lives was shut down by me weeks ago because nobody ever brought the money owed to me by 6pm the next day.
There will be no more possible options of prostitution as a way for people to make money to pay what they owe me; I never approved of this option, instead people insisted on it – Now It Is Option Over

* I am still always waiting, usually around Telegraph Ave, Berkely, Market St, SF, or Downtown Oakland (Santa Cruz, Pacific Ave Dec 28 – Jan 5) to be paid money owed to me

* There are now people doing evil and sex cult rituals having stolen cocaine and money owed (+ other things of mine) to me and using themselves –
I never approved nor would have approved of this behavior and it has been causing me and many others intense suffering – Please Stop Them All By Any Means Necessary!

Over the last few weeks, within a two block radius of my apartment, I have found three identical copies of this document. Does anybody know what the “Henry system of music transcription” is? Or how it reduces the need for page turns? Or why someone has been pamphlet-bombing my neighborhood with propaganda against it?
