    WARLOCKS & THE ACID TESTS
    Recently, a whole collection of previous unseen and extremely rare Acid Test posters and handbills has been discovered, including a couple pieces of original artwork by Jerry Garcia. Included in this collection was an original hand-colored handbill for the Palo Alto Big Beat Acid Test, as well as a Poster for Mother McCree's at the Tangent in 1964, a Poster for the Warlocks first paid gig at Magoo's on May 5, 1965, a poster for the Warlocks fourth performance at Frenchy's on June 18, 1965, Phil Lesh's first gig. A set of tickets for the In Room in Belmont on Sept. 1, 1965 and a poster for the first Acid Test at the Spread in Santa Cruz on Nov. 27, 1965 as well as a Fillmore Acid Test handbill and a handbill for Carthay studios in Los Angeles on March 19, 1966. It also appears that Jerry Garcia designed several of these items himself.The site that features all of this and more is here: http://www.postertrip.com/public/department37.cfm There are 33 pages altogether, which can be accessed from the main page. The whole collection can be viewed here : http://www.postertrip.com/public/5591.cfm Further details like the Jerry Garcia original artwork can be viewed here: http://www.postertrip.com/5584.cfm

    Hey all, sorry I've been gone so long. College started up, and I was overwhelmed. I don't seem to have Flying_Monkey's address in my inbox. But as soon as that's remedied, it'll be out and circulating once more! You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.

    Not trying to dampen your enthusiasm beatle_head42, but I'm in Middle America and Longrifle is in Western Canada, so this leg of the journey might be a little longer than others. It takes 5-7 days for vines to get from here to the East Coast of the U.S., so I bet it's more like 7-10 days to get to Western Canada. Longrifle may have not even received it yet.

Most vines seem to take at least one week per person sometimes much longer.Some times they go through a person or two before we get an update. Let's wait for a while and darkstar23 and / or Socrateazer will show up for a status check. If not I will burn a new set, roll them up tight and drop them... in the mail. Peace Rick

for your reassurances.It's funny, this was 1 of THE first vines i ever saw and signed up for on this site, lol. In the meantime i have had tons of vines come my way and me pass them along. i pray this is worth the wait. I am sooo curious as the quality and what symphonic dreams will fill my mind and spirit while i disappear into the music. patrick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And if you go no one may follow, That path is for your steps alone..."

I've sent it out to Socrateazer and he should have got it by now. I confirm some people's assumptions here that this is truly worth listening to. Just the amount of weirdness you might want on an already weird day.

Our brother Socrateazer wrote - "Acid Test Vine On February 7th, 2008 Socrateazer said: I know it will be a while, and I have the time to wait, but I am getting laid off from my job for medical reasons and I do not know if I will be able to handle being responsible for the vine, so I need to bow out of this one. I will sign-up again if I am able to pass it along. Thanks!" We can only send him good and strong positive vibes, in what ever format your feel is right for you, (Prayers, chants, strong thoughts, incantations, or happy faces). I remember some one once telling me that we are all bozos on this bus and we gotta look out for each other. So lets all look out for Bruce. Good vibes you way. Now since it has been nearly a month and no movement. I will burn a new set shn/flac and wav. Package then and send them off to the person who thinks they are next in line. So whom ever you are, PM me with your address please. Peace every one and share the love. Rick Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full may it be again

Rick, I forgot that Socrateazer was going to be out of action for awhile. My prayers go out to him. Assuming the last set stopped at his door, the remaining order should go as follows. 11. reedchris 12. Grateful Gooner 13. zbinks 14.toddsnc 15.wobbs7 16. rfk4 17. 143or245 18. CalebIsHungry 19. Melinda 20. Tony 21. muffin 22. joneb 23. Schnebs There was no number 12 previously, so I bumped everyone everyone from 13 through 21 up by one. Also, it looks like the order from 20-22 got screwed up screwed up a bit after joneb joined the vine. I have corrected this order as Tony joined before muffin and muffin joined before joneb.

It is the Acid Test Vine...Did anyone expect it to go like clockwork? Burning as I type but it has been a beautiful Colorado spring weekend, running behind on a few tasks. So if I miss my Monday goal please forgive me, these will be in the mail by Tuesday. Remember to love each other and the love you give will be returned ten fold.

When I made the above post I was reading a few posts back where the order had been screwed up and was now staightened out. That's what I meant when I wrote the header bout "that" being "straightened out". Also, it seems like a bunch of posts are going up two or three times. I swear I only sent it once... -Tommo

I havn't been able to post in a while but now that I'm moved into the new house and have the internet hooked up I am able to finally deliver the following news... ...the vine is in the mail! Heads up Gooner, it's on the way. Thanks for waiting folks and I'm sorry for the hold up. I mailed a stack of vines today and when I got home there was a new stack in my mailbox! Does that happen to anyone else?
