From Winter Quarter 1966 and Acid Test overview
The note below is from my Antioch documentation of psychedelic trips.
7. Trips Festival – Longshoremans’ Hall (1965)
P/R: The Trips Festival at Longshoremans’ Hall was even larger. By this time Kesey was climbing a large scaffolding wearing a Captain America costume, and accepting the crowd’s nomination for governor of California. The Acid Test sense of participation had dwindled to just another spectator event, with bands on the stage and fans just watching and dancing. I was one of the watchers.
S/K: I learned how with the increased size of the event this sense of intimacy seemed to be automatically decreasing.
