heehee -- listening of course
you didn't say respond with parallel anecdote...
which is good because my hippie experimentation was nothing like
the Life/Look pictorials, nor the Tim Leary books, it was more like
the Enfield Tennis Academy with a touch of the 40-Year-Old Hippie
("200 trips and they've all been bummers - but I ain't givin' up" and
"I ain't been high since the pot o' 69") but once or twice
I had one of those moments from it too.  So it's nice to hear
from someone who was closer to the motherlode of it.
There was something.  It's probably still around, but maybe in a different form?
Maybe it was always there....maybe it has to do with the Gaia thing...

Sure and maybe "hippie" is a pejorative for some, but I tend
to agree that significant portions of the hippie mystique imbue
some of the most pleasure-fraught passages of Pynchon...

>Good trips are hard to find.

well said & ever so true...

is this around somewhere on the web?  imdb doesn't seem to have it.
Does the title refer to TdC's Omega Point?
