I ...Thanks for "Trip" down memory lane... I was lucky to arrive in S.F. at the tail-end of the beatnik era. I was there for the summers before, during and after the 1967 "Summer of Love"... and saw the Grateful Dead play at an upstairs, downtown gay bar The Rendezvous with 25 cents beer in a bottle and no cover charge... in the early 70's, I displayed my photographs<br />in a Castro st. bakery shop. I was a friend of Harvey Milk... and one of my images of him is on display at Harvey Milk Plaza. I would like to recommend a web-site dedicated to the Castro of the 1970's...<br />thecastro.net/ and my images are<br />thecastro.net/stret/memoriespage/pritikin/pritikin.html and my blog<br />jerrypritikin.blogspot.com the stories and images are the real thing and not a recreation like the movie. Weed back then cost $7. a lid<br />and I spent many hours at Golden Gate Pk and heard Free Concerts by the "Dead" The Jefferson Airship and Janis Joplin... I was lucky to be there when so much was available at so little cost... but S.F. will always be where I found and left my heart.
