Synopsis The Hobo Got Too High by : Marc Spitz

Bug Blowmonkey does so much cocaine that he has developed a friendship with one of his chemically induced hallucinations: the confused but still righteous ghost of Marvin Gaye. Estranged from the one woman he had feelings for, Bug begins to question his compulsion to get so numb and frigid. When he meets a new woman, he tries to strip away the icy, hipster facade and accept her for who she is: and not the idealized Vertigo-style duplicate of the pristine ghost he needs to break away from. Will he break away from Marvin Gaye as well? And just how will Marvin take this? A hallucinatory, funny, sad drug dream about longing and the slippery grip on "self help." "Marc Spitz is one of my favorite playwrights; I have been to at least half of his dozen plays, and I have never been disappointed. He knows how to shake people up; make them laugh, gasp and gag. Expect bad taste, bad language, snappy dialogue, theatrical surprises and maybe something that really grosses you out." -Tom Murrin, Paper Magazine

Synopsis A Hobo's Son and an Orphan Girl by : Bob Bristow

This book started out as a set of adventure stories that have been published locally in several outdoor newsletters. These stories were so well received that the adventures in other parts of the life of the author and his family were added. A love story naturally evolved because that was what kept them going and led them from the wilderness where they grew up to the big cities working in politics, aerospace, and other advanced technologies. They combined this “city work” with many kinds of adventures, mostly adventures in wild and unexplored mountains. The love became obvious as Bob struggled for over 50 years to satisfy a promise he made to a 13-year-old girl in grade school: “Someday I will build you a castle on a mountain!” The book is interesting because it describes a lifetime of outdoor adventures and the effort of two kids to stay alive and progress up the social ladder. The relevant message is that two very poor kids at the bottom of the social ladder can not only survive but rise to the top. The story is unique because the adventures have been experienced by no one else. From Bob falling off an 80-foot cliff, to Luci battling a new form of cancer that was supposed to take her life. Readers should take away a good feeling reading about successfully living through many adventures in the mountains and in social life. About the Author Bob Bristow has a BS in Mechanical Engineering, an MS in aeronautical Engineering, and all PhD coursework completed in Aerospace Engineering. He worked for Boeing for over 60 years where he built and ran his own research lab. He was an elder in his church and was involved in many professional organizations. Bob enjoys skiing, scuba diving, mountain climbing, fishing, and hunting. He is most passionate about prospecting and mining.

Synopsis High Priest by : Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary, the visionary Harvard psychologist who became a guru of the 1960s counterculture, reentered as an icon of new edge cyberpunks. HIGH PRIEST chronicles 16 psychedelic trips taken in the days before LSD was made illegal. The trip guides or "High Priests" include Aldous Huxley, Gordon Wasson, William S. Burroughs, Godsdog, Allen Ginsberg, Ram Dass, Ralph Metzner, Willy (a junkie from New York City), Huston Smith, Frank Barron, and others. The scene was Millbrook, a mansion in Upstate New York, that was the Mecca of Psychedellia during the 1960s, and of the many luminaries of the period who made a pilgrimage there to trip with Leary and his group, The League for Spiritual Discovery. Each chapter includes an I-Ching reading, a chronicle of what happened during the trip, marginalia of comments, quotations, and illustrations. A fascinating window into an era. This edition includes a Foreword by Allen Ginsberg, an introduction by Timothy Leary about the intergenerational counterculture, and illustrations by Howard Hallis.
