George's Folly

The patchouli oil must be getting to me.

This postcard - a huge 7" high one on heavy card stock - is from the famous and long gone George's Folly store. On the back it says Copyright 1966 Unicorn Designs, New York, Postage five cents. Perfect.

That store (there were at least two, one in Wellesley, the other in Brookline) was filled with granny glasses, rings and bracelets, stash boxes, psychedelic posters, incense burners, and more paraphernalia than Tommy Chong could have dreamed. It was a magic place filled with Nehru jackets and sideburned register clerks, miniskirted girls, and suburban "radicalistas".

This isn't marked Peter Max, but it has the style. Today Peter Max is on the Home Shopping Network, autographing his posters. I bought one.

find those pictures....

Scan them in and post them here. I found this one in the pages of a book about Alexander Calder that Cindy gave me a long time ago.

Riverside Line

You can't see it here but the back seats in these had windows that would slide open. Milko taunted greasers from those windows, I smoked cigs and flicked them out, and we rode into Park Street, then to Harvard Square. On the way back, Milko drank down a diet Pepsi andthen "let it flow" out to the windshield of the trolley behind ours. It was so surreal and the funniest thing I have ever seen. The driver tried not to look. BC
