Uh, perhaps we were so busy celebrating, we just forgot to post it. That sounds like a good excuse, no?

Great 10 part interview from 6/22/90 at Kesey's Farm, here is Part I

I could barely see... till the morning comes. I thought it was still yesterday and the moon just got really bright at the peak.

tryin to remember to forget

Perhaps, because we are a product of his creation?

He'd say it was because we'd been eating too many vegetables!!

Well, anyway, Happy Birthday, Bear!

Happy birthday Alice D. Millionaire.

Sorry, I'm not having a steak in your honor. That
stuffs bad for ya.

Anyone ever get to meet him? I did once. I was with my
sister and her husband at a show in '84. My sister had a
necklace on that was my bro in laws Grandma's wedding ring
melted down. Owsley walked right up to her, without saying
anything and grabbed the hunk of metal on the chain and began
Inspecting it. My bro in law was like "uh excuse me..."
but then I noticed Bear on his tour laminate and told bro in law
that it's ok. Someone else came up and wanted to take
his picture but he said no. He was selling jewelry on that tour,
so that's what was on his mind.

A friend of mine from Marin claims he used to work out at
the same facility as Owsley and got to know him a bit. My
friend felt comfortable enough to ask him for a little sample,
and Owsley said yes under the condition he ingest it
then and there.

Anyway, thanks for all your contributions Bear!
