very touching post. however, I was also born in the 50's and had a completely different lifestyle. the sixties were a wild time in nyc and I was a wild child. I was already dancing in the gay clubs in the sixties. Oh, Pastababy, I was there, too. The man I met and married was there with me. One night we were so done for we could not find our VW bus - - - after seeing the show at the Fillmore - 'Canned Heat' and 'War' - and a light show that was beyond dizzy. What I am saying is I didn't find ME. I didn't explore ME. We toked, we danced, we were young and so free in San Francisco - - but young women didn't 'go there' about themselves. Even now, it's still a subject I'm feeling like is on thin ice. loved the fillmore. but only got to the fillmore east in the village in nyc. saw many groups but memory is fuzzy (can't imagine why). actually i do remember a few. saw the greatful dead a few times. one of the few things i'll always regret is that gerry garcia asked me back to his hotel and I didn't go. |

This is th e-mail that went out for this event: Sunday April 10th
6:30pm-9pm
609 N. La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036
Neighborhood: West Hollywood
This is a private event for The Labor Of Lover community only, so a strict list will be enforced.Q3, pretty sure this is for contributors of $150 or more. My friend who is there said they expected no more than about 75 people. I believe they listed it as a private event because the Tar Pit is usually open to the public on Sunday night. But they promised the donors an exclusive VIP party. So they need to keep it exclusive to be fair. There were only 69 online contributors who gave over $150 and I can verify that no more than 68 will be there.  I contributed and got an invite but RSVP'ed I was not to attend the listening party -- I did it to support the project not attend the party (perhaps I needed to rethink that -- had no idea it was be so intimate). And no chance I was flying cross country for it. I believe that there are some contributors who gave offline. Finally, I know one reporter who is there and she did not contribute. She was invited to cover the event. ETA: I think they also did not want people transferring their invites. |

Hey Finnish peeps! Someone at another journal is saying that Finns do not throw around the words "I love you" carelessly and that if Sauli is saying this to Adam (which he may have if Adam knows how to say it) then it must be verrrrry serious. What say you? Good mornig and a quick answer: for me it is really serious if I say Rakastan sua. First I use words like Tykkään susta =I like you. But WOOOW, RAKASTAN!!! This was the first thing I read from my iPhone this morning. A really nice way to start Monday morning. BBL, must hurry to work. |

Darling - be glad you didn't go with Jerry. He got busted all the time. My husband used to make their posters - an artist in the bud!! We watched them jam. Such memories. |

I was already dancing in the gay clubs in the sixties. Oh, Pastababy, to be in NYC during the 60's!! I had my first ever trip to NYC for RMT. Stayed 5 days and fell in love with the city. I spent the 60's in a midwestern town and then university. My parents almost fainted when I brought home a 'hippie' I was dating. Didn't know gay from May. How we each bring our own perspectives and life experience into this forum and how we are all learning and growing together. Pretty neat to me.. I was a hippie but I didn't look like one. I was more into tight sweaters than gauze smocks. I always ironed my jeans and put a crease in them. (I first stopped ironing my t-shirts in the 80's) |
