Below is our blog, full of poster art and fan mail and photos and stuff:
The Act of Drinking Beer with Friends Is the Highest Form of Art by Tom Marioni
It is the truth.
It *was* the truth; then we added Berlin-style ping pong to the mix.
(But seriously, it was Tom Marioni’s work that inspired Joey Piziali to do ping pong happy hours at his gallery in the Dogpatch, which is where we first heard about Dr. Pong in Berlin, which we visited and loved, and which basically resulted in American Tripps being a thing. So: no Marioni, no Berlin-style ping pong scene in SF.)
(Also, put a team together and join the SF Berlin-Style Ping Pong League, which has a new six-week season starting up next Monday, if you’d like to partake in the new highest form of art.)
Vintage poster! It’s saved on my computer as tripps-disco.gif, which reminds me… THIS FRIDAY WE’RE HAVING A DISCO NIGHT!!!!!
