A San Jose man is continuing a legacy that began in the 80s: startling tourists as the 'bushman' at the San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco is full of surprises, and there's one that sneaks up on you.Known as the Bay Area Bushman, he's a local legend who has been startling unsuspecting tourists.'You'll never forget that a bush is just randomly jumping out at you on the street,' said Cory Barnette, the man behind the shrub.Twice a week, Barnette makes his way to the promenade and gets into his costume made of vine and shrub.
Barnette said a man once threw a cup of hot coffee at him after being spooked.'It was cool. He came back and apologized,' Barnette said.The gag is rooted in tradition. In fact, when he was just a little boy, Barnette's dad brought him to the Wharf to watch the original Bushman, David Johnson, who startled tourists at the same spot starting in the 80s.
