1:4/28. ComCo Bs. 1/c, () 4/9/67: KRASSNER FREAKS FREE THE STORY OF MY CONVERSION TO EXCESS ACIDITY [reprint of notice in EVO by Paul Krassner about his decision to not charge for his upcoming benefit show for the Drop-Ins, the Lower East Side version of the Haight-Ashbury Diggers.] note typed next to reprint: diggers are what diggers do ["I've been doing my thing at colleges, and benefits, for groups like SDS and SNCC and LEAP and Parents Aid Society--it's a way of making the readers and myself a little less abstract to each other. So I booked the Village Theatre for Sunday night, April 9, and decided to do a benefit for the Drop-Ins, which is the attitude if not the name of the Lower East Side version of the Haight-Ashbury Diggers. {para} And then a Digger gave me some LSD. Free. Charging for a love-drug would be a form of prostitution. It was the purest acid I'd ever taken, and four hours into the tip [sic] I decided that I wouldn't charge admission to the concert. When I was sane again I knew I would stick to that decision. {para} As I write this, my scapegoat and her assistant, the shit-on, are getting high on magic markers crossing out the $2 price on the tickets, which will be given out at the Sweep-In on Sat., April 8th; if there are any free tickets left, they will be available at the Village Theare Box office starting 10 am, Sunday, April 9th. {para} If I had an agent, he'd be slightly freaked."
