Does blotter acid still exist - or did it die with Jerry?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

just axin'

[bo44]

1. Is there any owsley acid left?

whatever happened to that guy.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. I do believe the dancing bear past

And if his acid wasn't in the freezer - I'd say its moot too!

:(

[Bridget Burke]

17. Well, there's a Bear with a website...

www.thebear.org/index.html

Interesting essays & memoirs. Also, examples of his current work-- mostly jewelry making.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. Interesting...thanks BB!

:)

[jdonaldball]

3. I thought blotters were for ink, not for acid

Would't acid destroy the blotter?
And why would Jerry the mouse use old fashioned quill pens?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. DId you mean Ignatz the Mouse ?

[jdonaldball]

16. "Sending li'l missiles of love" to Krazy Kat!

A modern classic. Thanks for the reminder. FDR loved Krazy Kat.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. This is my experience on DU as personified by Ignatz

[jdonaldball]

23. I can see you are a man of Classical Learning!

Anyone who has Krazy Kat cartoons so readily at hand, is a Classical Scholar of the Seven American Liberal Arts:
1. The Yellow Kid
2. Little Nemo
3. Popeye (early versions)
4. The Katzenjammer Kids (before they were bastardized)
5. Li'l Abner
6. Doonesbury
7. Jazz

24. Early Popeye is the shiite!!!

Everyone on your list is gold - I would add to your list an 8th art - Bloom County





Have you ever read Leviathan?

[jdonaldball]

26. Early Popeye depicts the Gothic soul of America

in ways Duerer would admire and envy.
Wimpy is a corrupt Medieval Franciscan Friar reincarnated as a High Gothic early 20th century American.
Olive Oyl is Chaucer's Prioress.
Classic American cartoons are our Canterbury tales.

27. Bluto is the plague in the Decameron - good call

Plus - any invocation of Dürer is good by me!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

25. I would also add Tintin

[jukes]

5. i'm a bit out of touch

but i hear it's making a comeback. there's some fascinatinating (& legal) research chemicals out there, too.

PM if you want a link.;)

[DBoon]

6. Does anyone remember windowpane?

purple barrels? orange sunshine? microdot?

[thebaghwan]

13. Yes, and with the fondest of memories

n/t

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

18. I remember Windowpane and microdot!

Do I ever!!!!

[David__77]

7. Trust me, it still exists.

I was a teenager not all that long ago...

8. Who Needs The Peace Corps?

What's there to live for?
Who needs the peace corps?

Think I'll just drop out
I'll go to Frisco
Buy a wig & sleep
On Owsley's floor

Walked past the wig store
Danced at the Fillmore
I'm completely stoned
I'm hippy & I'm trippy
I'm a gypsy on my own
I'll stay a week & get the crabs &
Take a bus back home
I'm really just a phony
But forgive me
'Cause I'm stoned

Every town must have a place
Where phony hippies meet
Psychedelic dungeons
Popping up every street
Go to San Francisco

How I love ya, how I love ya
How I love ya, how I love ya frisco!
How I love ya, how I love ya
How I love ya, how I love ya
Oh, my hair is getting good in the back!
Every town must have a place
Where phony hippies meet
Psychedelic dungeons
Popping up on every street
Go to San Francisco...

Hotcha!

First I'll buy some beads
And then perhaps a leather band
To go around my head
Some feathers and bells
And a book of Indian lure
I will ask the Chamber of Commerce
How to get to Haight Street
And smoke an awful lot of dope

I will wander around barefoot
I will have a psychedelic gleam in my eye at all times
I will love everyone
I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me on the
street
I will sleep...
I will, I will go to a house
That's, that's what I will do
I will go to a house
Where there's a rock roll band
'Cause the groups all live together
And I will join a rock & roll band
I will be their road manager
And I will stay there with them
And I will get the crabs
But I won't care

[Donkeyboy75]

9. Hmm...it was ten years ago.

Don't see why it would have gone away.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

10. Nope. No such thing. Nothing to see here. Move along.

[FDRrocks]

11. Not good blotter...

unless you're in with the tour people with The Dead, currently.

[DrWeird]

12. How the hell does it get made, anyways?

From a scientific standpoint, of course. I've never seen a synthesis.

It's a partial synth. from an ergote derivative, right?

[jukes]

14. Dr. Weird

i'm not a chemist, but the procedure doesn't seem to be difficult; & there are, i believe, several routes to the product. here's a link of interest to any student of the history of drug usage:

15. Ah - another Erowid devotee

You rock Jukes!

:yourock:

[johnnie]

21. I used to dress up as Albert Hoffman for Halloween

No one really knew who I was supposed to be. It was just fun to do.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

28. A bicycle day reveler?

good for you!

[truthspeaker]

22. Yes it still exists. Still most common way to take acid I think

$8/hit seems to be the going rate at Dead shows.
