One of my friends (still) went to work for Rip Off Press immediately after high school (72) before going to university. I started Cal in 73.

Wish had managed to keep the all the comics and other items from those years.

Possess all the Freak Brothers, the Weirdo with Philip K Dick sees the Pink Light, Binky Brown Meets the Blessed Virgin Mary and some R Crumb.

Have Flashback, some other Leary plus a hc of The Psychedelic Experience by Leary et al.

Saw Leary debate Gordon Liddy in mid 80s at Cal's Zellerbach Hall.

Read a bunch of RAW and still have most of those books (Cosmic Trigger etc.)

Good for you.

Fun years to be alive plus all the great music.
