Last weekend was spent in San Diego at the MAPS “Psychedelic Science in the 21st Century” conference. I had an enjoyable time and was able to pick up a copy of Ralph Metzner and Ram Dass’ new oral history of the Harvard Psychedelic experiences, titled Birth of a Psychedelic Culture: Conversations about Leary, the Harvard Experiments, Millbrook and the Sixties. Ralph Metzner walked by my table at one point and kindly agreed to inscribe the copy to me.

On Monday I was back in the city and working with Alex and Allyson Grey at a Bicycle Day party. I wound up staying there until 5am and had a blast. Saw many friends, heard some decent music, and just felt great about everything.

This week will be a bit of a blur. I’m going to pack up, try to tie up as many loose ends as possible, and point my compass towards New Orleans for the Jazz and Heritage Festival. I haven’t been back there since 2006, the year after Katrina, but I look forward to it.

I am looking to pick up a bit of work with 7 Walkers, but mostly will be flying by the seat of my pants. I look forward to it.

When I get back, it’s full steam ahead for our Furthurmore Prankster Afterparty.

Onward and upward!
