with Eric Christensen & George Walker
Sat. May 30th, 8pm
Sixty years ago, when the three-day Acid Test called the Trips Festival was held at the Longshoremen’s Hall at Fisherman’s Wharf, Eric Christensen and George Walker were there.
Eric Christensen was just 14 at the time, and decades later made The Trips Festival Movie (2007), featuring footage from the Trips Festival itself, along with interviews from Bob Weir, Rock Scully, Ken Kesey, Stewart Brand, Ken Babbs, Bill Graham, George Walker, Ramon Sender, Allen Cohen, Ben Van Meter, Mountain Girl, Chet Helms, Gerry Mander, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
George “Hardly Visible” Walker was there with his fellow Merry Pranksters, who, with Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand, organized the event (to the extent such a thing can really be “organized”).
Join us for a special screening of The Trips Festival Movie, and a discussion with Eric and George, swapping stories about the historic event.
