Michael Peppe Recreates Jim Jones Rant at Christmas Party

Mikl & Danielle’s annual Christmas party, renown SubGenii Michael Peppe channeled People’s Temple founder Jim Jones from their backyard as a dry run of a performance that he was doing later that night at the First Satanic Church’s Black X Mass hosted by Karla LaVey (daughter of Anton LaVey) at the Elbo Room in San Francisco.

There's One For You

When Michael first arrived at the party he was telling me about his Jim Jones gig and the research he was doing for it. During our discussion I reminded him that it was not Kool-Aid that they were forced to drink in Jonestown, but rather the less popular Flavor Aid, a common misconception.
