Acid Test Chronicles

From Grateful Dead and Acid Test overview

A collector named Josh Bempechat put together a treasure trove of information and collectibles about the Acid Tests, as a large subset of his Poster Trip web site. The site disappeared from the web for a while. When it reappeared I made pdf copies of the pages for events I was at. The links are for the three Acid Tests I went to and the In Room in Belmont, which Bug and I went to. I didn’t see the jug band at St. Michael’s Alley, but that happened while I was in school a mile away, and it feels like the same air I was breathing. See the Grateful Dead encounters chart.
