If you’re like me, you love Moorish architecture and you’re really interested in the historical significance of the Armory. Imagine finally being able to see inside the same walls that housed the weapons of the U.S. National Guard from 1912-1914! I wonder there’s still evidence of it’s role as a rallying point for the 1934 San Francisco General Strike (an event known as “Bloody Thursday”).
Well Friday is our lucky day because according to flavorpill, there’s a free tour of the Armory! It starts at 4:30pm and it’s an hour long.
(They film people fucking in there too)
Update: Ok, brownpapertickets says it’s sold out. But then again, it’s said that for as long as I can remember and I’ve tried to get the tour several times in the past year. Anyone get a ticket? In the meantime, I’m checking with them to make sure. Stay tuned.
Update 2: NO ARMORY TOUR FOR YOU:
Ever since being written up in the Bay Guardian as the best free tour of an adult entertainment company, we have been inundated wiuth tour requests. We are in fact sold out till Sept of this year. Thank you for your interest.
Damn! I’ll be at work.. been dying to take a look in there. At the architecture, of course.
only an hour? i could do better than that.
“All remaining dates and prices for this event have sold out.”
From the brownpapertickets website, to which The Armory refers the curious.

Normally I’m inclined to believe this, but now that I think about it, every time I have looked into getting a tour in the past year it has said the same thing. Is this tour really that popular?
I have an email out now to the Armory reps and hopefully I can get shed some light on the subject.
Peter himself took me & some friends on the tour. If you are into bondage, you will be disappointed. If you are into seeing Mission Creek free-flow through a sub-basement, you will ejaculate.
Damn so I won’t be able to witness the same Toys that Sashsa Grey used to get herself off?
