1. Loved Lou...saw him at the old Boston Garden. Show was great, but the bathrooms were pretty fucked up.

A real downer. The H shooting going on was extreme.

2. Ill bet

Likely the same at a Tom Waits concert too. Some concerts just attract them.

3. I lived with some interesting dudes in Worcester back in 74.

A couple were from NYC and seemed to be in Lou's orbit as well as Red Foxx (Skillet and Leroy). One was from San Francisco. Clash of cultures. I was there because the rent was $75/mo.

But the Owsley acid from SF was a game changer.

4. I was going to say

The concerts and party's we went to usually only had pot or acid. One time one guy had H and he was asked to leave. One of our close friends father was an FBI agent so we weren't sure about our privacy at all times. Felt like we were being watched a lot of the time.

5. I have always been into pain avoidance. No needles unless necessart.

But my nose...different story. Never bought, but never declined an offer.

6. Yeah i forgot about coke

That was short lived for me. I didn't like zips either. I don't like anything that speeded me up. I'm of the mellow world. For a while I really liked ludes but I tend to stay away from pills. Needles make faint or go into shock. My dentist refused to give me novicane after I went into shock the first time he produced a needle in front of me.
