- San Francisco, California - House Of Falling Furniture
Since 1997, the building sitting at the corner of 6th St. and Howard St. in San Francisco has been a sculptural mural. The piece consists of tables, chairs, lamps and even a grandfather clock, all hanging precariously out of the building's windows. Known as "Defenestration," (a word meaning "to throw out of a window") the sculpture's various pieces are all fastened to the abandoned building to create the illusion of falling.

[GoddTodd, 10/04/2001]- San Francisco, California - World's Biggest Rubber Band Ball
We stumbled upon the rubber band ball (covered up with blankets and an American flag) while trying to buy beer. Owner is obviously still bitter. We peeked under the blankets and discovered the ball, tried to ask him about it. He seemed angry and asked us not to touch it. The ball is looking pretty unkempt -- lots of bands hanging loose off of it.

- San Francisco, California - World's Biggest Rubber Band Ball
The World's Biggest Rubber Band Ball is no longer at the store. The owner is really cranky and the sign on the outside of the store has been painted over. But there is a new small one being worked on inside. Just as you enter the store look left on the wall at a bottom shelf, there was a small one maybe a foot high.
[kevin mathieu, 04/04/2007] - San Francisco, California - World's Biggest Rubber Band Ball
The rubber band ball is still at the Pride Suprette. If you go in and buy something from the store, listen to him rant and be very nice and respectful, maybe he will let you peak at it. No pictures yet. He was upset that someone had beaten him out of the "World's Biggest" title and is afraid pictures will get posted on the internet and his rivals will know how big it has gotten. He said to come back "maybe in July" and he will be ready to display it again.

May 2007 - Photo from Phil Pasquini, who writes "Defenestration is showing signs of wear after being there for the past 10 years. But it still looks great and causes a lot of people to take a second and a third look."
