Annual pillow fight
It's Valentine's day. That means it's time for the annual pillow fight at Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco. The fight is planned for 6 PM. See the
laughingsquid.com article from last year for more info. To get there, take BART and get of at Embarcadero. Then you can treat your old lady to a walk along the water and a dinner at a romantic spot along the embarcadero.
Monochrom
Monochrom will be speaking at Dorkbot, 19 February 2007 7:30 PM PST.
Among their projects, monochrom has released a leftist retro-gaming project, established a one baud semaphore line through the streets of San Francisco, started an illegal space race through Los Angeles, buried people alive in Vancouver, and cracked the hierarchies of the art system with the Thomann Project. In Austria they ate blood sausages made from their own blood in order to criticize the grotesque neoliberal formation of the world economy. Sometimes they compose melancholic pop songs about dying media and they have hosted the first annual festival concerned with cocktail robotics. At the moment they're planning a conference about pornography as one of the driving forces of technological innovation. They also do international soul trade, propaganda camps, epic puppet theater, aesthetic pregnancy counseling, food catering, and - sorry to mention - modern dance.
