He called me "the jab" because when I danced I sometimes made jabbing motions with my hands like a boxer (I was very mod in those days). Later in the mid-1980s Peter opened the infamous Pink Panther bar in San Diego, thus ending a very dry period in San Diego nightlife. I heard he moved to Seattle around the start of the big Subpop music scene up there in the late 80s and I have not seen him since. I started using "the jab" online when I first joined the modslist discussion group in the early 90s (I think some current TC members may have been in that group).
