"Have any parking tickets lying around? Musician Olive "Pants" Panthofer will take them off your hands - if they've been paid off, of course - for her latest project: Making a dress from these burdensome pieces of paper. Her plan is to photograph the dress as Spotify cover art for an upcoming diss track about the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, set for release in late December."
"But at least half the hours must go toward cleaning city buses. She was appalled when she found out that SFMTA requires an enrollment fee between $29 to $84 to participate in the community-service program. "The shifts start at 4 a.m., and every hour you work, you get $20 off your citation amount. So I ended up working 21 hours," said Panthofer. "It really sucked, but I didn't have a job.""
"Frustrated beyond measure at the problems stacking up, she eventually turned to the one constant in her life: Music. One day she sat down at her piano and started composing: SFMTA, I've got a strongly-worded letter with some things to say. I'll admit, you've really got a special talent for ruining my days. What makes you think I've got 100 spare do"
Olive "Pants" Panthofer collected paid parking citations to construct a dress and photograph it as Spotify cover art for a diss track aimed at the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, scheduled for late December. Panthofer lost her job at Vicinitas Therapeutics, accruing about eight parking tickets totaling roughly $800 after her routine driving and parking changed. Landlord pressure to vacate compounded the strain. Panthofer enrolled in an SFMTA volunteer program to work off citations, discovered a required enrollment fee of $29 to $84, and worked early 4 a.m. shifts earning $20 off her citation per hour, totaling 21 hours.
