NYE 2006 ON THE SAN FRANCISCO WATERFRONT!

This coming New Year's Eve 2006, celebrated San Francisco-based event producers ANON SALON will once again raise their highly successful SEA of DREAMS NYE event here in SAN FRANCISCO.

ANON SALON has recently reached an agreement with the management of the internationally respected and popular musical group, The String Cheese Incident <www.stringcheeseincident.com> to co-produce this event.

“String Cheese” has performed many times in San Francisco. They were here for multi-night New Year's Eves' shows at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in 2003 and 2004. They tour extensively and have a dedicated and respectful Bay Area fan base. The joining of String Cheese with ANON SALON, especially in as unique a venue as Pier 48, would surely create an unforgettable and high profile event, and lay the foundation for what could be a magical San Francisco tradition.

This web page will provide background on ANON SALON: who they are, what they do and why they are the perfect fit to produce a gala New Year's Eve 2006 event on San Francisco's legendary waterfront!

As to the specifics, we are interested in Pier 48 and the "Strider" facing the northern cityscape. We are also interested in the Annex and Outside area for backstage area and staff parking.

We would seek access to these spaces for set-up on December 28th, 29th and 30th with the public events ideally on the evenings of both the 30th and the 31st. We would do a light strike on the 1st of January followed by a major strike and complete clearance of the property on the 2nd.

Both organizations have held successful large scale new year's events without incident over the last 5 years. Togther we would bring a hight level of exdperiecne and professionalism to the event. Our aim for an occupancy would be approximately 5000-6000 each night. In the past, ANON SALON NYE's event have generally had 2500-3000 participants, while String Chess events at the Bill grahm Civic Cener were even larger.

As co-producers, ANON SALON would be happy to supply a comprehensive list of references upon request, including the following from side:

• Cindy Shambam (ISCOTT)
• Officer Swiatko (Bayview Station)
• Officer Gigi George (Bayview Station)

• Dogpatch Community Alliance

HISTORY OF ANON SALON

For nearly twenty years, ANON SALON has helped shape the course of West Coast entertainment history by producing literally hundreds of of unique theme events; as well as theater festivals, gallery shows, technology conferences and the annual Decompression street fairs for Burning Man fans both in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Though BURNING MAN may have coined the motto "no spectators", the genesis for that movement tracks back to the 1980's and to local arts groups like ANON SALON, that continue to serve those ideals of collective self-expression throughout the year. Artistically, ANON SALON builds on the long cross-disciplinary and avant-garde tradition that is uniquely San Francisco. Event producers JOEGH BULLOCK, MARCIA CROSBY and MARK "SPOONMAN" PETRAKIS have been blurring the line between performer and audience for close to 25 years, along the way reflecting the changing face of San Francisco's most adventurous and creative communities.

Beginning in the early 1980's, hese three original partners in ANON SALON have been central to the local alternative and underground art scene. Collectively, they raised giant GLASHAUS parties in the 1980's, COBRA LOUNGE art vaudeville shows, the ICON BYTE BAR AND GRILL (the first Internet bar and café in SF), the award-winning CLIMATE THEATER, the world famous SOLO MIO PERFORMANCE FESTIVAL and FESTIVAL FANTOCCHIO OF NEW PUPPETRY. Besides producing the first official website for BURNING MAN, they also initiated San Francisco-based BURNING MAN parties called FLAMBÉ LOUNGES as well as the annual DECOMPRESSION and HEAT THE STREETS STREET FaIRES.

In the early 1990's, Joegh and Marcia merged with Petrakis' production group, pARTy/SCIENCE for the purpose of uniting the Bay Area art and technology communities in what proved to be immensely successful monthly gallery "party/event/ performances" known as ANON SALON. Throughout this period, pARTy/SCIENCE also provided story and live event and conference consultant services to a host of corporations and research organizations.
