It's called the County Fair Building now. It's the same location that SF Zine Fest has been for the last couple of years. Antinous, it is the Hall of Flowers- er, I mean it was.

But back in '99, pre-social networking days, I had a college buddy running this same scam - collecting cold hard cash instead of racy comments. He just had to snag a picture set of some girl online, post it on Yahoo's old local classifieds, and people would mail him money to a PO box just to have more pictures posted, all because they thought she was real and local.
