Hey Mark, as you may have noticed, I dropped the "No Mark Of The Longhairs" title, as I took the "Banned Dr. Sponge" E-Mail as a "Sign". Hey, I will touch bace w/you soon. I plan on kiting the check to the original P.O.Box given on the "Ask and Receive" inquirery, along with a stamped post card addressed to me, which will indicate that they got the bread. Once I get word, I will kite them the other 500. I remember fondly of helping those folks store their dried apples, and helping cut shake shingles for a small geodisic dome that was built on the Olema People's camp site. I cant eat smoked salmon without thinking of those folks. They were good to this kid. Later.

Robert, I got a message that read; "BANNED DR. SPONGE" and thats all it said. OK, Ill' bite...Are You Curious? (now im' Curious! If you are, E-Mail me again from the Underground and let me know what you apparently dont want the Real World to find out. If you give me a "Sign" I may throw another piece of the "Emmitt Puzzle" at ya. But then again... your mind-set has rubbed off on me somewhat, as I just realized that there is no way in Hell that you could prove that you are the REAL Curious. Oh, fuck it, that was just a thought. No one could fake your Rap. I plan on trying to reach my old show-biz gang in L.A. If you are in So.Ca. I could hook ya up. E-Mail me again Buster.

Steve, I am in Northern California and visited Black Bear last year to drop off some supplies. It is kind of hit or miss finding someone there and with the extreme fire danger in the area now maybe things are in a lull. Generally they need gasoline to run a small generator which operates a 12volt lighting system and a CB radio which is the only contact with the Foresty Fire watch people. There maybe someone lurking here that is better informed or connected than I but if I can help let me know. I can be reached at Planet Drum Foundation in SF: planetdrum@igc.org, Bard382@aol.com (home) or reply to this and I will see if I can help.

Hi all - It occured to me today that the Time-Orienting question: "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?" is in dire need of an update. Two of my suggestions are listed here as examples - but if you have any other suggestions (and I am rather hoping you might) please send them along to me at writenow@spiritone.com and I will add them to the ongrowing list of possibilities - Thanks!

1/ Where were you when George W. Bush wasn't elected? 2/ Where were you when Dylan went electric?

Hey Curious; "Many a Great Teacher has learned from the Youngest Student". I will try to get an E-Mail through. By the way, none of the Black Bear People got In touch. The first of two Money Orders for 500 Dollars is slated to be mailed Tommarow. Things went well today, Fed 45 to 50 people. Only one fight, (involving theft). I stayed out of it. No letter from Sweet Lorraine to date. I have a warm welcome of sorts, but no written communication, and she doesnt do computers. Oh well. I just want to get a clear view before I head on up there. Im going to visit the Statue of Liberty for the first time next Saturday w/ my pal Nancy. Will try to contact you Curious.

Nicole, I wrote letters to my natural children and am trying like Hell to get their Mom to write. She still holds a grudge and only calls when I dance with Mr."D". Hell, the last time was the old "one tap for yes and two taps for no". Ya see, Iv'e got American blood on both sides, so, I opted to entrust the upbring of my "Bairnes" to my Wife's Clan, (the O'Briens). Its an old Creek/Muskogee method that enables you to look on the youngens as "People" whereby one "Meets" them as equals, (after they get eye to eye with ya.) Well, you know me; I neglected to inform my Ex-Wife, or her folks of this tradition, and as such,It took quit a few years before they all caught on.

Everyone, thanks for the positive feedback on the new page with the video clip. And thanks for letting me know that the page wasn't working too well. The first attempt was rough. I was trying to use an Active X control but after hours of reading realized it should be an embedded control. In any case I've edited the page and hopefully await further feedback to see if it works better. I want to get this right because there is a total backlog of video that we can start to put on this archive. I'm thinking of having a "Women's Voices" page (a suggestion that Nicole and Judy have both made) devoted to clips from the women interviewed in the Les Diggers film. So let me know any suggestions. I'll be getting the digitized version of Nowsreal next week so that will provide a source of clips from 1968. (Can't wait to make the clip of Brautigan planting his book of poems in the back yard of Willard Street.)

Here's the link to see the edited version of Peter Berg's video clip page (with transcription thanks to the Digger Angel who sent it to me yesterday):

IMAM,

About the video, I too, had to wait as it rebuffered a few times while playing. But it was visible/audible. Could be caused by a few things, such as more than one person accessing the webpage at the same time, or your personal isp lines have a lot of traffic, or, like me, I have a slow modem connection at 32k. A suggestion: download it and watch offline. It runs perfectly that way. (Keep in mind tho, that on a slow connection, it takes a long time to download.)

And Nicole, sorry to hear about your accident. Glad that you're still in good spirits, and able to bicycle around. Btw, you have a beautiful voice! Wish the song was the full version and not just a clip.

Thanks, Eric, for the new offering. Ya did good!

Warm regards to all, on this overly globally warm evening!

Nicole,

Glad to hear you're up and about and not too much worse for the wear. I fixed the link to your online music clip (below). Speaking of media clips, I just got the digitized copy of Les Diggers back (the video transfer company is still working on the VHS copies). I snagged a clip of Peter reading from Trip Without A Ticket. I'd appreciate hearing feedback from people on this new page:

Nicole, "Dont get in front of anything that goes faster than you do" (but you knew that.) Im glad ya rolled with it. Back in 1980, I took awhile to recover in Venice Italy from a virus and an Ill-fated honey moon audition, Having regained my stamina, I reluctently tangoed out of Venice, and was really freaked out by the "Beast Cars", (As I had really gotten into the "flow" of things in Venice.) Then it dawned on me, how comfortable (conditioned) we get weaving in an out on foot, through the herd. It can be a tough game. ie. "VIROS ET MORTUOS" (the quick and the dead) Hey, drop in around the second week in Aug. (It will take me that long to clean the place up. Oh the clutter!

Nicole, I am glad you escaped without serious injury. It seems that some folks have gotten more aggressive in the last few months. Tolerance and patience are asleep in the backseat. I had a like experience last month getting hammered by an out-of-control speeder who demolished my pickup. Thankfully I wasn't hurt and the other driver was only bruised. Makes you wonder about things though. Get healed soon.

Dear Nicole - I am so sorry to hear of this (thankfully only a) brush with an iron monster (fiberglass bodies no longer by Fisher!) driven by a wanna-be-Zionist roadrager no less!!!! May she wake up from her panic life-style and do some community service work for the rest of her life!

Back to you - Are you you just bruised and battered or are you more seriously injured? I hope (make that pray!) that loving friends and family are tending to your full recovery. If not I will get brother Steve (aka: The Silent Tornado!) on the (their) case! I will make 200 turns of the prayer wheel counting 100 prayers to the Medicine Buddha for your perfect health - not to mention beauty.

Nicole -- so sorry to hear about your brush with the Real World. There's so much craziness out there right now, I'm constantly reminded of Lew Welch's line in one of his Digger/ComCo broadsides:

"Sometimes you only have to step 3 feet to the left and the whole insane machine goes roaring by."

I hope your recovery is as swift as the flow of a Type 5 rapids.

Salud,

Eric...I would so love to have a tape...sorry I din't mention it earlier...Hope I can still partake...by the way, I was hit and run by a car in the parking lot of my office so I've been a bit out of commission for a few days...it was a pretty scarey situation...the driver was experiencing road rage is my guess...I didn't know her...she seemed in a hurry and after yelling, "get out of the way stupid fucking arabs" to a young family putting their children into the car seats...I was her next nearest available exit...so she just "moved" me and went on her way...in her shiny new jaguar...Lizzie Grubman...was that you? I'm not physically as resilient as I was a few years ago...so I've got some healing to do...heart and brain in tact though...Steve I'll try and get round to 4th street soon...warm regards to all, Nicole

(am I warm?). Hey Eric, things are falling into place, Sweet Lorraine has invited me up to the New Hampshire Coast to Pow-Wow with her, our children, and grand son. While up there, I will swing by the Lakes Region and unseal the millenium vault, and perhaps mail you your goodies from their, as oppossed to carting the stuff back down here. I had a super day, we fed about 40 in the Sanctuary. I played some lost Richie Valens tapes for them, and also some obscure Sinatra.

busy right now for a few days--be back then, possibly sooner. By the way Steve, my first on stage role, of note, was as Howard Blair, who is onstage as the curtain rises for Inherit the Wind, more or less loosely based on the Scopes Monkey Trial. Curiously enough, the scene opens with Howard pulling nightcrawlers (worms) from the ground and inspecting them for suitability by stretching them out to insure quality. So, take that comment back.

Speaking of televised/digitized, the videos should be ready to pick up today or tomorrow. For everyone who asked for a copy, please send me (via email: eric@diggers.org) an address where you'd like me to send one.

Next question: should I do the full thing and print up cassette case covers like I did for the version of Les Diggers two years ago? Or should I just slap the tapes in their cases and mail them off?

Part of the difficulty in today's day is a relative lack of curiosity as compared to 30 years ago today when the 'kounter-kulture' was kickin the gong around. Granted we had our quirks and dead-ended journies into the mystery we call Life Acting - but our sense of curiosity was paramount. What happened along the way to discourage the following generations of travelers? CAPUTALISM AND FEAR for two - and a lack of community for three. Steve and friends bless your pointly heads for continuing under pressure in NY. I Am Curious IMAM - but curiosity is just a small part of what is needed to kick the day in the ass again.

Look boys, I sence an uncertainty, which seems to be steadily creeping into this site, which may hinge upon the mundane and transcendetal reality; (the meaning between life and death, the destiny of the soul, the nature and sanction of moral laws, the relative domains of knowledge and faith). But, hay, I could be wrong... but yall' just gotta keep the faith. DONT GET ME WRONG..This intellectual tension in its self could to be transformed into a strange messenger from a higher unreality that could very well edify and entertain songsters at the positivists banquet. So, putting it into focus, I say "Have at it". What we need is more "CURIOSITY" (never thought Id say it).

Flashed back to a rough moment in the Fillmore - Haight the day SuperSpade flew to oblivion. A kind corner grocery store owner stuck me in the saftey of his back room for a couple of hours while the heat on the street died down. The LSD cafe was never the same - maybe nothing was ever the same. Crystal Meth took care of everything that seemed to be the same. RIP (revisited) - IMAM

To DOC RAY. 24 May 2002. Hey Doc, If the "SPADE" you are refering to, is/was "SUPER SPADE"; he hit the ground like a turd from a tall cow's ass. (free flying lesson, right off the edge of a cliff) I really Hope that he is/was not one-in-the-same. As to the others, Good luck with your search.

Hay ya'll. I romped on down (up) to the Vidio Festival today. Mr. Jimmy entertained a stunned subway car full. I played straight-man with my Magna-Doodle while Leon Grodski filmed our antics. At one point I stuck a pocket watch onto my sweaty for-head which projected a Dali like surrealism to the moment. Anyway Leon seated me and two Bowery Bums which I had In tow, (an impromptue rooting section) in the very last row. (smart move, the man is a genious, I tell ya.) The films in THE GONE BUILDINGS: NYC & 9/11 numbered five in all. Mr.Jimmy's GREAT BALLS OF FIRE really brought down the house (no pun intended) Everyone laughed through a 9/11 film. Now thats cinimatography!

The intellectual functions, by which relations are percieved, are the common endowments we all share. The differences are apparent, not real. The eye in one person may be dulled by "Saran Wrap", while in another quick, in one distorted, and in another tranquil and clear; yet the eye to light is in all of us the same. Just so judgment may be liable in individual minds to the bias of passion, and yet its relation to truth is immutable, and is, in fact, universal. Hey, lets petition Gary Snyder to put his (it's) two cents worth in. How about it Gary? This site needs a boost from someone who is wise, established, and credible. Come on, How a bout it?

Shes pulling your pigtails Steve. By the time I got to Loisaida the Belle of Ave. A and the Slumgoddess were grandmothers. Speaking of Ave. A, the candy store on the westside of Ave.A between E. 7 and St.Marks has the best eggcreams. Old friends get welcomes Steve, you remind them of what they once were.

Hey Joe, Alphabet City, as In "The Belle of Avenue "A", I lived in a card-board condo out that'a way once. Hey Joe, I was wondering If everyone gets as warm a welcoming as I did when I logged onto this site? Do ya think that thier tongues will soon run down? The "MASKED ONES" seem to only spread a strange confusion over this site, and seem to despise the true excellence and glory of it's nature. Will it take an Olema Man to tear asunder the MASKS, and expose the dreadful features concealed beneath? I find that Curious is as ruthless as a baby with a worm; and as cruel as a schoolboy. I will keep the faith as I walk through Shadow Land. Take care Joe. SNMOTLHDWFS

Steve I dont think you are too hard on us though I dont know what you are talking about all the time. It struck me once and a while before you came that some of the contributors were more than a slight bit judgemental of those who were on the point back in the day. By the time I was roaming the streets of alphabet city the only diggers I heard of were in books. Isnt it also the way that those that vex us intrigue us most.

Curious, we live in the same world, but not in the same neiborhood. I threw two big dudes out of Church on their asses last week. This week started out just dandy, a psycho pulled a blade on me. (Im Scottish) So I followed suit. As I approached him, he must have remembered a very important engagement. (He had to run). As for the news paper. Its for the Pastor. I walk it up to his door on the second floor, like a good boy. So wheres my raison pie? P.S. No, this Church does not have a bouncer, just an Olema Man. Got It? Hey, until we can get into something wourth while, I will send a little sing-song to cheer you all up. Its from a true Poet. (Im glad yer back Curious).

Curious, I must give you the whole Mob line-up, via several entries, as I have a very limited window to type in. I dont know how you guys get to enter such long messages. My original input from Michigan was cut short (cut-off). Thats why I cant match you word for word, as it were. My stuff has to be fine tuned, and lots of juicy stuff drips though the cracks. Speaking of which: You know the definition of relative humidity dont you? (Its when the sweat from your nuts drips down into your sister-in-law's crack.) Speaking of close relations; were you by any chance married to me at any time? Im gettin' these weird Ex-Wife Vibes. Aint ya' through with me yet? SNMOTLHDWFS

Hey Joe, Their not, but I am. Hey, come on down. My Road-Block is to liberate the rest room. There is a sign: NO PUBLIC REST ROOM. (and they wonder why folks piss on the church wall.) Aint it the way Joe? Wow the power grid was off most of the day. (big fire on 14th St. they say.) The Gong Concert was a hugh success dispite the heavy down pour of rain. Ol' Don whipped em' up into a frothing frenzie. I havent heard that kind of "whail of the Banshee" vibe since my last marriage. Oh, as you can see: "what goes around-Comes around". Ya, I got dubbed. Well, maybe I have been alittle hard on ya'll. (Or maybe not hard enough) What do ya think Joe? S.N-M.O.T.L.H. / N.Y.C.

Geo/Despo, I suggest that you declaire yourself to be of the faith; claim self creative rule in your life above governments and social categories. You are life. Embace yourself as holy and sacred. Reject weapons as murderous protection which takes food from children's mouths. Renounce violence, both personal and institutional. Lift up your vision as your own true security. Stand in solidarity with the poor, the oppressed, the Olema Lost Boys and the forgotten children of creation. Link arms in love and confess your faith in yourself and declare that your spirit is the shaddow which you will cast to release the captives and set at liberty those who are oppressed. SBDWFS

In my travels I see that the US will soon be at WAR in Iraq. Is there anything anyone can do to stop this from happening? - Sorry all - I don't mean to put any sense of "burden" specifically on Diggers - it is just that for the most part you are one of the very few 'groups' to have managed a lasting legacy of progressive thought and action with radically humane intent vs. Yippies - Hippies - Trippies - and other well-meaning clans for progress who have seeming vanished prior to the 21st century. I for one am very interested to know your feeings on this soon to be crisis confronting the planet. Are there Diggers with a voice for the present state of world mess with suggestions at to what we (dissidents) might do to better help on another?

Thanks - from a friend - with an open hearted mind.

Just give me one hand loose, and ill' be satisfied. Come on, grab a trench coat and some shades, slip-slide into NYC, and catch Great Balls Of Fire. The film maker was actually filming on 9-11 when all Hell broke loose. Speaking of the City, Are you in America? If not, ya better catch the next Bannana Boat; Word on the street says: Our fourign policy is about to jump off the Tiger.

My good Doctor Sponge; Dont let your Chief Proctolagist of Diggology handle go to your head. Coyote's People and the Diggers were viewed (in their time) as benevolent beings. True, the Olema People were widley feared for their wild and unpredictable ways; but take it from me; we were perversely honest and loyal champions to the cause,(cause we were broke). As a whole, we clung to the true path. It is my hope and prayer that our actions be recognized and rewarded by the multitude. Moreover, those brave souls who endured should be revered by the entire Free Nation as a whole. The "End Of The World Mob" are but few, yet ubiquitous. Voices, sure..."from other rooms".

Hey Curious, I was damn close to dubbing you FURIOUS. Im not much for back-talk, so, ya, I told Nik that you level the scales. If not for your gravitational pull, the Digger juggernaught effect would whip-lash my alter-ego to the dark side of the moon. In fact my series of entries on this site may very well document my descent into maddness. Is this how Sylvia Plath felt? I may rue the day that I buried the hatchet with you; but today is not that day. Untill we define who's the Yin and Who's the Yang, lets just stay toe-to-toe in this dime-a-dance romance, shall we?

News from the front: I Saw Mr. Jimmy ( a kindred soul who renamed me "Bobby") this A/M. I Gave him the Ol' Miami Hand-shake and he dragged a film crew over here. They Filmed James & I hamming it up. They are hot to return next week to document the West 4th St. Revolt for prosperity. Mr. Jimmy is billed as follows: "Shirtless Toothless in Song & Spit a man who Speaks Out about the W.T.C. like a Barometer of the Times." Im to be their guest at GREAT BALLS OF FIRE, starring Mr. Jimmy at the New York Vidio Festival, Walter Reade Theatre, Lincoln Center, Jul 21st 2PM and Jul 24th 4PM. The film is produced by Leon Grodski and Pearl Gluck. Hope to see some JR. Diggers there.

The Opera continues.........And what else should it do! Hey Curious - if you want to contact O'Neill just write to him at: <archtraitr@yahoo.com> He and I (and a loose ensemble of other survivors) do a bi-weekly radio show called The End Of The Trail. The show is broadcast from Nevada City, Ca. ever other Sunday night 10pm - Midnight on KVMR (live radio) and on KVMR.org on the web. Since I am in Oregon they hook me up via telephone to the studio. Anyway - check us out sometime - like two Sundays from now as our last show was last Sunday. - Also on O'Neill you can see his work in The 3rd Page - at: http://www.emptymirrorbooks.com/thirdpage/dan1.html - Dan is the journal's chief Skizologist.

Our trails crossed again - as I moved back to Amsterdam in 81. - Chet is still a smilin and a doin - all white haired and fuzzy with great photographs hangin on the walls. Heard from him a week or two ago. - Yes - parties at Artie's were hedonistic to the maximum degree - and all for the wrong reasons - in the end a bad scene for a bunch of decent hearted folks. Money, SEX and Cocaine excess is not the best conglomerate for spiritual success and I can hear Steve laughing now.....".Keep you motor running...head out on the highway.....Lookin for adventure.........."

Hey.Hammond, Helms layed a whole mess of colored flair pens on me at Olema. J.P. almost tripped (no pun intended) over me one night in the barn yard as he was headin fer the hills. He said; what the fuck are you doin'? (I was layin' on my belly, drawing in the moon-light). He said, Fuck; you are an Artist! (Many thanks Chet.) He was always so inwardly focused. I think the first time we met was at the Psych-Shop house on Page. Ron Warren was around, also a cat who's trade-mark was, loosening the tobaco in his cigarette by feeding it through the hole of a gold far-Eastern coin medalion.(We all had our things, didnt we?)

Ol' Pearly Ma had the balls to call my home-base in New Hampshire and when Sweet Lorraine got curiuos, Pearl said to her; "So how do you like Squatin' on that Big Dick? See what I mean about certain aspects playin' Hell? Anyway, the house in S.F. was constantly being photograghed. We were sweatin' it out ontil a neighbor said: Big Brother and the Holding Company used to lift the roof of this place.

Hey Hammond, I cant describe Nik without being both charitable and patronizing. She's a Pheonix. She won my attention and favor Immediately. She floored me. (I rolled on the floor) I showed her some scars not unlike a NYC street map. (She didnt flinch) She shined-on my stoma as if it were a pearl beneath a Dragon's chin. She's a ground rod. We did the Ol' Fourth St. "Frame of Address". )We both jumped the tresh-hold of the down stairs kitchen door; where-by changing our addresses immediatly.) You got it folks. From 133 to 135; presto. We skipped hand in hand to the door. I confided In her that I need Curiuos. Its a balance thing. Im in fear of eclipsing myself.

Hammond, my buddy Roger Trudoue of Warhol Factory fame also worked at Mitchele Bros. Theatre. He told me the wildest shit. H.S.T. picked me up thumbing in S.F. in the wee Hrs. I was holding a large trophy (loving cup) which was chocked with pot seeds. He ran the red light and screamed GET IN! Then he screamed I HATE HITCH-HICKERS! Ill be fucked If we didnt hit every red light from the Avenues to Knob Hill; and he ran em all. Just speed though honking! I was laughing uncontrolably, and when he called me on it, I said, well, things could be alot worse, you could be stoppin at the green ones. He smiled, dropped me of at my place, then blew through the light. SBDWFS

Eric, dope tails are unsetteling, our dream tripping proves that great minds think alike though. I hit Amsterdam in 80 & 81. The guest of the famous Ex-Patriot black Othello Charles Holland. His wife Cathy and I did the town in a big way. I steared clear of the Angels of Light at the (Last?) free Dead/Starship show in G.G.Park in the early 70's. Got cheap imitation vibes. The old B.B. House I was at was a cracker-box perched on a hill. I use to have a clear vinal type promo of a Cockette thing, (something-or-other on a hot coma.) Left it at Wierd Harrys on Channing Way in Berserkely. I pushed for the Grass enitiative there in 73 then hitched to FLA. SBDWFS

Image Flashes -> I haven't seen this recent "Cockettes" film release but the publicity of course brought back all sorts of bawdy and hilarious memories from being in that funny Chinese theater after-hours at "Tricia's Wedding" and one other show. Then I moved away into the unknown everywere and was living in Amsterdam when The Angels of Light arrived in Europe. Although they were "Cockettes" - The Angels of Light were not into the bawdier side of things. They were however, very very very tripped out on glitter. I mean more glitter than you would think could be humanly possible. The sets - the stage - the costumes - the props -the posters- your ticket stub - and their half-naked bodies were literally coverd in Rainbow Glitter - and this was just for starters. Ten minutes into the show pounds of glitter began to blow -fall and spew into the audience - and I mean pounds and pounds of it... Industrial sized electric fans from above and below would periodically blow the stuff in blinding clouds of glitter - and bear in mind the show lasted a couple of hours. Needless to say - the glitter never stopped and everyone in attendance had glitter in their teeth and ears and hair for weeks after.

PS - Steve, Remember when you asked if maybe we ever met back in the daze before Olema? Well - maybe one of those avenues of possiblity just came up with your mentioning the BB house. I first met Sam and crew circa J.B.J. (Just Before Janice) via The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach - so whenever I came up to the City in this is one of the places I would crash - Chet was in the basement I think. Any way the other point of potential contact here is that I used to do the same drop and go back to sleep thing! I used liquid eye-drops - when I woke up coming on strong I would then up the anti-with a little...... STOP! STOP!...... I will not make this a drug story of the month club!!!!!!!!!

Anyway buddy-brother, maybe we met on the way up or on the way down - whoknows- but now that we are here - it is great to meet you again and to hear about the good work you are doing in NY. - And tell us what Nicole is like in person! The Neo-Digger Opera 2002 wants to KNOW!

Good morning steve...how great to meet you!!!what an inspiration you are...Eric, IMAM, Hammond, Tomas et al...if you've never met Steve, or haven't seen him in years it is a must do...his words and works on this site are something, but his spirit, standing face to face is awe inspiring...I'm so serious. He reminded me of a passage from Louis and Clark Journals (my favorite book)...suffering an intense infection, after having been shot in the ass by accident, Meriwether Lewis volunteered to go up river alone for what ended up taking 5 days...to scope out which fork in the river was the correct way to go...there are no diners, motel 6 or even Digger Olema or red house road house at that time...so he was truly on his own, while on that excursion, his 30th birthday came and his journal entry read like this, "here I sit on my 30th bd and I don't feel as though I'm doing anything with my life" oh no...just forging the Northwest passage!!!Made me feel like a piker...anyway it seems to me Steve is really an explorer and adventurer and what he doing on west 4th st is such a good thing...thank you Steve and let me also say...You speak volumes!

Hey Eric, Still no luck with this E-Mail thing. I will keep hammering at it. Oh...every chance I get, Im gonna skim the guestbook, (from 1995 on up). Maybe some names and/or entries will ring a bell, and I can open up a new can of Ovaries.. Oh ya, by the way, my dear friend Alan Baxter (film maker) just set up a written question and answer Interview between myself and a local Author who is writting a book about the underground film movement. Its my hope that he may have the pull to make a few calls or pull a few strings and perhaps unearth my long buried Rolling Stone interview about the seedy side of San Francisco's adult entertainment Industry.

SMACK? My chums at the old Big Brother House were turning people on to ballons, like they were breath mints. I only went as far as skin-popping myself. I always fed the Demi-Urge ( But never gourged it).Those fiends would have killed for my viens. Tennesse Jim ran wine and water, just to stay "In Practice". Whip Woman said that he could have hit me in the dark, from across the room. During that period, I had a nasty habit of dropping acid at bed time. Dreams would disolved as the body rushes would naturally awaken me. The deep purple would be punctuated by smokey liquid hall light from under the door.

Hey Eric, Heres a lead. Ernie from the Psych-Shop bought a Pre-Quake House in South Frisco. When I dropped in for a pit stop Joe Crise was crashing in the attic crawl space. (Clemintina Alley had busted up.) I could have sworn that Ernie said that he had saved one of each poster that went through both Psych-Shops (Haight and Maket St. Stores). Christ, today those would pay off the Mortgage! We printed a limited run Steve Boyd psychodelic Flyer for The Home Art Show on Clemintina. It depicted Lyle Guyer (S.F. Artist) wearing my Nazi officers jacket. During Lyle's Chrishna Kick I painted Morrison's face on his shaved head. Watch for that one. Its a rare beast.

Hey Eric, you forgot the Free Clinic. They shot me up with so much Penisyllin (both Buns) that I was trippin over match-sticks like they were logs! I used to waltz in, and they'd say Hi Steve! What kept ya? Anyway, I remember years later meeting the chick who won the title of "Miss Clap" at a fillmore fund raising concert. Uncle Vinty was there if I recall. I pulled out an once of liquid Amyl-Nitrate which I kept pouring on some artificial flowers while giving the "Peakers" all a whiff, when Tennessee Jim spilled the works on my (now famouse) Tee Shirt.

Hey Hammond, The road is long, that doesnt turn. I just dug up a letter that I sent to my Natural Brother in Salt Lake City during the Eat-The-Stamp Era. The outside of the Envelope is so psychadelic that even the post mark is almost illedgible. About the only thing you can make out is the Address. Its amazing that the Postman didnt get a Contact-High. Well, needless to say, Ol' Stan The Man, didnt catch the drift, as the stamp is fully Intact. I will kite it to Eric, with the provising that he (1) not eat the stamp, and (2) that he have it proffesionaly duplicated and then returned. I also passed out some Palm-Reading Flyers in N.H. that said "EAT THE THUMB" (nobody got it)

Hey Eric, were you the heavy weight, greasy-haired funky cat who fattened me up on Free Peanut Butter Sandwiches in the Pan-Handle way back when? If so, Thanx.

An interesting side-trip?: ->In the late 60s a guy named Robin ran a bus tour in London called "The Trip Without a Ticket." I got to know te guy a bit and when I mentioned the source of the name he respectfully admitted the Digger origin (he had in fact read the Digger Papers via the Realist and International Times, IT) but his was an extension of the phrase in that when you purchased your ticket for the tour you ate it before he would allow you to get on the bus. One quick guess as to what the tickets were soaked in.....

Steve, if you haven't checked out the Digger Archive, here's a whirlwind tour for you:

The original (English) Digger manifesto (1649). This is what inspired Emmett and Bill Murcott to sign the name Diggers to their early leaflets in the late summer 1966:

http://www.diggers.org/diggers/tlsa.htm

The early (Fall 1966) Digger Papers. These are the leaflets that Emmett and Bill wrote and distributed in response to the growing conditions in the Haight and in San Francisco's underground scene:

http://www.diggers.org/digger_sheets.htm

"Delving the Diggers", "In Search of a Frame", and "The Ideology of Failure" (1966), three seminal articles from the Berkeley Barb written anonymously by the Diggers. These lay out the philosophy, amazingly articulated at this early stage:

http://www.diggers.org/diggers/digart2.html

The Communication Company broadsides (Jan-Aug, 1967). We owe Chester, Helene, Claude and the rest of the Com/Co gang a big debt of gratitude for their free Gestetner service:

http://www.diggers.org/asp/com_co_biblio.asp

One typical Digger leaflet, "Money Is An Unnecessary Evil" (1967):

http://www.diggers.org/bibscans/Dp025_m.jpg

The Invisible Circus poster (1967). The Diggers and the Artists Liberation Front planned the Invisible Circus (Feb. 24, 1967) as a counterpoint to the Human Be-In (which itself had been modeled in part on the ALF Free Fairs the previous fall):

http://www.diggers.org/images/posters/ic_d.jpg

Free City News sheets (1967-68). When the Diggers appropriated the Gestetners from Chester, the result was a polychromatic shift in the output:

http://www.diggers.org/free_city_sheets.htm

Nowsreal (1968), the Digger film. Here is a clip showing the Free City Collective "Free Noon Forever" free poetry reading on the steps of City Hall:

http://www.diggers.org/themes.htm

The joint Free/Realist edition "The Digger Papers" (1968). The final Digger gift to the underground, this was the anthology of Digger broadsides, manifestos, free news sheets, and free poetry that Emmett published with Paul Krassner's assistance:

http://www.diggers.org/digger_papers.htm

"Trip Without A Ticket" (1966, 1967, 1968). Here is one of the defining documents of Digger praxis. Published in late 1966, then republished by Com/Co, and finally included in "The Digger Papers":

http://www.diggers.org/digpaps68/twatdp.html

"Post-Competitive, Comparative Game of a Free City" (1968) was the blueprint that the Diggers left behind as they jumped off the stage ("the street") where they had been acting out Free for the past two years:

http://www.diggers.org/digpaps68/postcomp.html

"Ringolevio", an online version of the portion of Emmett's story dealing with the Haight:

http://www.diggers.org/ringolevio/ring209.html

"Home Free Home", the brilliant (and hilarious) history of Morningstar and Wheeler's Ranch, by Ramon Sender Barayon:

http://www.diggers.org/home_free.htm

"Free Fall Chronicles", several chapters from Peter Coyote's reminiscence:

http://www.diggers.org/freefall/freefall.html

Photo Gallery. Here are some photos that Chuck Gould took in 1967 and 1968. (The photograph collection is one area where the Archive is lacking -- if anyone has any, please contact the Archivist):

http://www.diggers.org/photos_1.htm

Letter from Kent to Emmett (1972). This is a great stream of consciousness reminiscense of Digger history triggered by the publication of Ringolevio:

http://www.diggers.org/k_to_eg.htm

"Deep Tried Frees" (1978). Written for, and distributed at, the memorial party for Emmett Grogan. This is a history of the Free Print Shop which was inspired by the Diggers in the spring of 1968:

http://www.diggers.org/kaliflower/dtf.htm

Kaliflower, the major publication of the Free Print Shop, an intercommunal Free newspaper. For three-plus years, Kaliflower promulgated the vision in part laid out in the Digger manifesto "Post-Competitive, Comparative Game of a Free City". Here are the covers and some selected articles from Volume Three:

http://www.diggers.org/volume_3.htm

This is just a smattering of the Archive. I should have mentioned: The Digger Song, SF Mime Troupe, Artists Liberation Front, Black Bear Ranch, Hearthshire, Olympali, Free Bakery, Digger Caravan, PlanetEdge, Planet Drum, Mussel Group, Free Breakfast Program of Black Panther Party, Digger Events (Free Food, Free Store, Intersection Game, Death of Money/Birth of Haight, New Year's Wail, Digger Free Benefit, Invisible Circus, Summer Solstice, Death of Hippie/Birth of Free, Free City Convention, Equinox/Solstice 1968). What else have I forgotten?

Steve, that's a very touching thought. But please hold back on the $$$ -- just like at the Digger Benefit that the Beats held at Gino and Carlos -- the diggers returned all the money donated. I shouldn't have mentioned the cost of the leaflet. The point that I was trying (not very clearly) to make was -- I don't understand who's selling these Digger leaflets and posters to these dealers. I wish they'd contact me first (as you did in your previous message). So, please keep the $$$. I can afford the leaflet (that's why I have an 8 to 5 gig) -- it just galls me no end that I have to buy this stuff back from these dealers. Again, I'm touched -- it's the thought that counts.

If you have Doubles, hell hang em on the wall in your Mad Scientist's Lab. Again, thanks for pullin off this "INVISIBLE VARIRTY SHOW", Im proud to be a guest. I was a public School drop-out myself, but I went to the "HEAD" of my "CLASS" at the OLEMA RANCH "FOOL"S SCHOOL". (In fact, you could say that, "I PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS".) Until then, count the days untill this leg-wettin stuff reaches yer sweaty little paws. All my best to you and yours Eric. Come on folks, Give the Host some. (SHARE THE WEALTH) SBDWFSNYC

Steve,

Peter Berg dubbed me the Digger Archivist in 1972 and the moniker stuck. I started collecting in 1968 for this archive. Have you looked around this web site much? I'm continually scanning documents from the archive. If you have anything you'd like to put into the archive, it will be cared for and preserved and presented to future visitors. I'm always on the lookout for new gems. For example, a dealer out here in the SF Bay Area has a poster advertising the Beat Poets Benefit for the Diggers in January 1967 at Gino and Carlos. But this dealer wants $150 for this leaflet. That's what I'm up against in this archival work. You asked for a post office box: P.O. Box 40391, San Francisco, CA 94140.

Salud -- eric

Eric, I was justs skimming the F.F.O.R. and ran across the rap about Digger hand-bills and flyers on the market, Etc. You make mention of a Digger Archive; If youve got one, or plan on setting one up,I can dig through my Millinium vault and lay alot of First Issue S.F. Happening Posters on ya (In stead of the envelope that I previouslly mentioned). Its a damn shame that all of my original Olema art work was one-of-a-kind. Probably used to Ignight kindling, or maybe wipe an ass or two.(Hey, what better way to follow a Psychadelic shit, than with some Steve Boyd Bun-Wad.) Ive got a Gathering of the Tribes poster, among others. Let me know your feelings on this.

Cheryl ("SHERRY") Lynne Pickens Rubbo. I just caught yer full name from the Prayer, dated 04-Oct. 2001. I E-Mailed you from Michigan, but dont know if I did it right. I got through to Coyote just fine. Back in 70, I heard that a match-maker paired you up with that slippery looking Nor. Cal. long hair who dressed in black w/ silver concho belt and outlaw hat. I must admit that he did it up in a big way, as he actually rode a fuckin horse. If you detect a note of sarcasm in my voice (oops), its because I had a crush on you as big as the Milky Way, and as such; loathed Prince Charming. Didnt they tell ya that the good guys wear white hats? Don, hang on ta her.

Eric, Station DWFS here in New York is going to lay a Computer Station on me. It should prove invaluable, as I plan to not only use the traditional patterns laid down by my Digger elders,(flyers,hand-bills,posters,graffiti,word-on-the-street,Etc) but will take it one step FURTHER in an effort to depart radically from the suggested forms, all the while steering clear of other mediums such as the established motorcycle brotherhood utillizes, as I do not wish (In anyway, shape, or form) to perpetuate a "PACK" mentality. P.S. Send me your P.O.Box # (the Station Manager has an envelope with your name on it.) Youve done well Eric, this site is finnaly paying off.

Hey Eric, If starting a Revolution is what it takes to meet a woman like Nicole, then brother, take up arms! She's vital, potent, and had me rolling on the floor In (silent) laughter shortly after her arrival. She has more soul than a James Brown concert. She's no Granny Lady. She's an Original, Genuine, Bonified, Antique Little Girl. As siblings of the same disfunctional family, (Diggers, Free Tribe, Olema People; call it what you will) we are cut from the same fabric, and have the Tattoos to prove it. Its like Ive known her forever, I couldnt scrawl out two words on the Magna-Doodle without her finnishing the entire sentance. Now thats what I call Digger Radar!

You tell em Hammond. The trick is to spur folks who were conditioned strictly within the bounds of severe conventions; Its not a "Us and Them" Trip, as we were all influenced by the American Dream underwhich we were raised. To make the Digger thing happen, We (uh-oh) must meet certain requirements and satisfy certain human needs. As we "Tell-The-Tale", we must enter sympathetically into details of lives (here and gone)while recognizing thier obvious "Habits" and in doing so produce other and different conditions; (for sure) which will seldom if ever present more than a BASIS for new expressions. ie. WE AINT PUSHIN NO PARTY LINE. In one word: NOTHING

No cost, Hammond. (Diggerly Do). VHS format. (I forgot to mention that this version is excellent quality NTSC video. The colors are not washed out like the version we distributed in 1999. The only slight problem is the voice track gets out of sync at one point in the film -- with Freeman speaking but Nina's lips moving. Quite hilarious for an instant. I imagine the reason is that the French narration is so slow because the speaker is e-n-u-n-c-i-a-t-i-n-g so carefully that it added extra time to the voiceover.)

Hey Eric - I would love to see the film so please put me on the list - but how will I see it? Will you have copies available (VHS) and what is the cost - or will it be virtually seen online in micro-space? I have seen snippets from the all French version - but hey - I don't speak French except when I was into being a nacient mime. Then I even spoke Tongalese - but that was then. - Thanks for all of your ongoing efforts with this "Neo-Digger Opera" we are in-acting. Perhaps a grain or two of sense can be found here that is not being advertised to death in the daily mess. - OnWords! UpWords! - Cheers to one and all -

A package from France (sent via Santa Barbara) recently arrived containing a new version of the French film Les Diggers de San Francisco. We are trying to get copies made like the last time three years ago. Depending on how many requests I get. All hands, who'd LOVE to get a copy? (This is a 54 minute version, possibly the same that was broadcast on French cable -- except the narration on this version is in English, or rather a heavy French accented English. However, Peter and Judy and I think it's a new cut of the original footage. The interviews are not so linear, but interspersed and more thematic. Still trying to figure out who sent it. It was either Alice, Celine or Jean-Pierre. IAC, thanks to whoever did send it, and to the relay person in Santa Barbara.)

Hey Eric, Ill' take a rain-check on your offer. I would prefer to just orbit for now. Besides, Nic is dropping in/out and may every well agree to walk me through this E-Mail mess. Things are finally starting to gel. I was afraid that the viewers were content on just watching the soap opera "DIGGERS OF OUR LIVES" but am overjoyed that some are taking center stage (Its hot under these lights) Again, thanks for being such a grand host. This could turn out to make "Politically Incorrect" look like the Art Linkletter Show. Will let you know how the meeting of the minds goes. I will dig out my MAGNA-DOODLE to write on, but we both know that my eyes will tell her all she wants to know.

Hey Loosegiver, You wearin a paper hat er what? I wore every pair of "Lucky Boots/Shoes" untill they fell off my feet. THEY WORE OUT! Yet to date my feet are tops! My point is this; Your feet wont wear out, or (hopefully) fall off. And If you really think about it...They were FREE. Yer folks laid em on ya. So come on, whens the last time ya called em? As for free diggs, I labor 15 hrs. per week for my space. "EVERY MAN NEEDS FOUR WALLS" (Charles Bukowski) And another thing, Its not about gettin in, Its about gettin out. The Free Street Digger thing is not a Sole Proprietorship but a SOUL PROPRIETORSHIP. That makes it 101% (do the math) Thanks for your input. SRBWDFS

Beg Pardon General Sir, The store was over-stocked with a surplus of large economy sized cans of Hard Knocks. Most of which have been collecting dust for over three decades. Having read the warning labels carefully, Ive come to the conclusion that contained therein lies conclusions drawn from nearly 35 years of existintial roaming. There are no expiration dates listed, and as such these provissions may very well serve the Free Nation At Large, I wholeheartedly pray that the contense contains character, dignity, truth and beauty...In short IM GIVING THE STORE AWAY. (the line forms on the right. Thanks for showing some interest. AT EASE. Private Boyd (no class)
