Here’s more info from John Law: Infamous anti-performance artist Michael Peppe is bereft of clear vision! That’s right, the inventor of Behaviormusik, a contemporary of Laurie Anderson, San Francisco art scene fixture Michael Peppe is without his glasses! An attractive young lady walked off while wearing them at the Laughing Squid 11th Anniversary Party last month. Perhaps she didn’t want him to have eyes for another, perhaps she was careless, perhaps she was a common thief. It matters not: these black-framed glasses are the esteemed Mr. Peppe’s most cherished possession. They are the heart and soul of his personality; he is naked, lost and incomplete (not to mention near sighted as hell) without them. We here at Laughing Squid beseech you to return these mandatory ocular equalizers to this already tormented enough artist. Call the Poet at: 415-P-R-O-M-F-U-K (776-6385) or mail the glasses to: 400 Hyde St., #507, S.F., CA. 94109 or deliver them in person if your heart is pure. photo credit: Scott Beale tags: Michael Peppe (T) , glasses (T) Comments RSS feed | Trackback URL [...] [...] San Francisco performer and SubGenii Michael Peppe lost his beloved glasses at last month’s Laughing Squid: Decade 2 event.

He was in town writing a big story on the current internet explosion taking place in the Bay Area. His article “www.thenewrevolutionaries”, which just published, starts out at one of our favorite cafes Ritual Coffee Roasters, then works it’s way through many of the people and companies of the new Silicon Valley. Our anniversary party even gets a quick reference. The geek crowd runs with the San Francisco arts set in places such as Ritual Coffee Roasters and, on a recent Saturday night, in an urban warehouse turned nightclub under the aegis of a company called Laughing Squid. Partygoers hurtle past the entrance in vintage cars and gawp at a street artist conjuring fire in a sandpit. They are here to drink, enjoy ‘cool stuff’ like a live cabaret and, of course, talk tech. photo credit: Scott Beale tags: Ritual Coffee Roasters (T) , newspaper (T) , Silicon Valley (T) , David Smith (T) , The Observer (T) , The Guardian (T) Comments RSS feed | Trackback URL [...] [...] Last Saturday in the middle of the chaotic vortex of our Laughing Squid: Decade 2 party I ran into David Smith, technology correspondent for the UK newspaper The Observer (The Guardian’s Sunday paper).
