Happy Birthday Laughing Squid!. Our dear friends at Laughing Squid, San Francisco's clearinghouse for avant-garde art and creative madness, are celebrating their ninth birthday this November. They couldn't wait to celebrate though, so they're throwing the Laughing Squid 8 1/2 Year Anniversary Show this Saturday, June 12. The line-up of performers is truly insane, from Subgenius savant Dr. Hal Robins to heavy metal bagpipe virtuoso The Madpiper to New York "sound acrobat" ZeroBoy. As Timothy Leary said, "You have to go out of your mind to use your head." Happy birthday, Laughing Squid! Link [Boing Boing] 10:28:49 AM    comment []
