Posting here gets tougher to pull off. I wonder what good any of my ranting, raving, reading, and writing is doing. If things haven't been changed at all, after so much continued corruption... will they? Ever?
Not that I am giving up the fight. Not a chance.
We watched "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" last week. Very out-there. The cars were cool, and there was cleavage-to-spare. In other words, it was a dude flick.
No argument from me (This was taken in 1967.)The World Can't Wait
New Year's Eve in 1969. (Guess where, Aiko Jim?)
The Sausalito Ferry in the 1950's. My grandfather lived there for many years. Long before there were cookies named for it.
My (extended) family at the memorial of my Aunt Nancy. About a year ago. Missing her presence in my life, these old days. The memorial was held at the Log Cabin on the Presidio of San Francisco.

If I remember correctly, "Faster Pussycat" was a Russ Meyer film, so yeah, guy stuff.
And I'd guess that New Years Eve '69 was at the Fillmore West.
Joe, Yes-a Russ Meyer "classic."
Not Fillmore West, but close.
I love that Faster Pussycat picture. The car, the clothes, the hairstyles, the extra think mascara are just so 60s.
Never seen the film though, never even heard of it until 10 seconds ago.
Hmm, not the Dead, since they did the Yeast Coast that NYE...
Carousel Ballroom? Winterland?
Who was playing?
DUH!!! Anyone who ever wen't to the Fillmore West knows that it was on the second floor @ Mkt/ Van Ness, and that means NO BALCOMNY so it is WINTERLAND. if it's 68>69 it's GD, QMS, Beautiful Day,& Santana to Opened the show (9pm>9am breakfast)...& If it's 69>70 it's JA, QMS, the Sons & Hot Tuna to open the show(9pm>9am breakfast Is that all you got gimmie something really challenging
come on chooch!!!!!
is tiger punchy today?!
i wasn't trying to stump you in the least...just put it up 'cuz it's winterland. no tricks.
lucyp~it was really a different kind of film. the female characters were tough, mean and violent. and overtly sexual! the storyline and acting were fairly weak. however, the campiness factor made it pretty fun to watch.
o'tim~winterland 68-69 it was. my old friend pointed out that the balloon drop was pretty tiny, back then. as veterans of n.y.e.'s through the years, we saw the balloon drop grow into monumental madness. good times.
a.j.~your "inner snobby deadhead" reared it's ugly head, i think! :)
