"Being naked in San Francisco is not a crime, unless the gentleman had lewd conduct or was obstructing traffic.''
That's D.A. spokesperson Debbie Mesloh in 2004 in response to the public nuisance complaint filed against George Davis - a.k.a. the Naked Yoga Guy who we last saw prancing around in the buff at the tail end of the Olympic Torch protests earlier in the month.
In 2004, Davis staged several impromptu nude demonstrations at Fisherman's Wharf to promote his book Naked Yoga. He's had run-ins with the cops before and after those memorable episodes but is still going strong (remember how he ran for mayor just last year? Our Joe Eskenazi documented that nicely). In fact, Davis will be signing copies of his new book Weapons of Mass Deception at the wharf (northeast corner of Hyde Street @ Beach) tomorrow, May 1, at noon.
Incidentally, the book's protagonist is a naked yoga guy himself.
P.S. Those who've dreamed of working as an assistant to a nekkid yogi can contact Davis at (415) 722-2968. --Janine Kahn
