Trillium Fortnight? Oh yeah, she could have been with the USC band  
that played over at the Agoura site of the Ren Faire. Like I already  
said . . .

. . . would point to the Faire again, what with David Springhorn's  
version of the "Dumb Play" from A Midsummer's Night's Dream. Whole lot  
of "Mad Love" going on at the Ren Faire, circa 1970. Whole lot of  
people doing a lot of very strange things with their private parts  
back in 1970. Like Inherent Vice always sez:

		 . . . With the unspoken footnote that the word these days
	was being way too overused. Anybody with hipness "loved"
	everybody, not to mention other useful applications, like
	hustling other people into sex activities they might not, given the
	choice, much care to engage in.
