And to think… all those hours laughing my ass off to Let’s Make a Dope Deal and Basketball Jones. Glad I could finally give back a little. Thanks for the inspiration @tommychong!
Just watched a Greatful Dead doc.! Fantastic! I finally found out what all the fuss was about! They could play! And they got high when they played! So much love of playing music! And so free! I am now a Dead Head.

Literature is news that stays news
.@JennyBoylan: Fifty years ago today — Feb. 27, 1969 — Garcia and the Grateful Dead stood onstage at the Fillmore West and recorded the live version of “Dark Star,” a song that is still about as fun, and as weird, as American rock and roll can be nyti.ms/2TpB1dq

Bay Area folks: check out my friend Zappo Diddio's stand up show next week. Hella funny as we say in Berzerkeley. Also deep. And trippy, as we're also known to say.
