hell yeah. congrats and thanks for everything. 5,521 blog posts. 27,472 photos and videos (and that’s just on flickr). 15,000+ tweets across (at least) 6 accounts. Umpteen thousand of events posted on the Squid List. 2 documentaries. 59 official Laughing Squid events (including 38 Tentacle Sessions), plus being a sponsor/co-sponsor on hundreds of others (I think, you don’t have up any easily accessible numbers on that–could you work on that please? k.thx.bai).

I left out the dozens of drinkups, more than a couple smaller private gatherings, hours of offline video, and of course chats around the taco stand.

More of the same, here’s to continued art, tech, alcohol, cacophony, amused cephalopods, and general weirdness in the area of the Bay, for fourteen more years and beyond…

Happy anniversary, LS. I still have about 50 business cards for “The #”. Do you think they’re worth anything?

Awesome~
And if you have a party next year (at a venue that isn’t exclusively 21+), I’ll see if I can show up.

14 years ago, I was playing around at a day-care center. So I think you’ve had a decently long run.

Excellent to see the original logo. It was solid then and still rocks very well with the adjustments made. (Which I was sporting just yesterday on your fine t-shirt.)

Thanks for making (and helping others) make the web more awesome all this time.

CONGRATS! I remember getting my first computer 11 years ago, so you’ve been here longer than I’ve even been online.

We’re not doing a big party this year, but will probably do one next year for our 15th anniversary.
