Go to San Francisco?
It's the Summer of 1967 and the eyes of the world are on San Francisco.
A young man with time on his hands and a deep curiosity decides to see what all the hoopla is about.
DH: Why on Earth would we want to do that?
Manny: Because that's where it's all happening!
Students and Hippies, Free Love and Protests, Cops and Flower Children, and people who just want to live and work and get along.
DH: The people are flowing into the neighborhood in waves; the next one coming before the previous one recedes, like the tide coming in at the beach. Where did all these people come from?
Angie: ... if they're really quiet and just sitting in a corner somewhere, those are the ones that are doped up. If they're loud and obnoxious and full of themselves, those are the ones that are drunk. If they're sober, well, they're back home in Kansas.
DH: This City is the laboratory where an identity crisis can be worked out without the pain of your friends and relatives giving you a hard time about it.
What he finds:
Insight ...
DH: When you watch a puppet show you never really see the puppet master, just the puppets.
Enlightenment ...
From a Hippie on the Street: Life's a circus, man.
and maybe a little Romance
DH to Angie: Wait a minute ... Is this really a date?
Spend a week in San Francisco during the Summer of Love.
Manny: If I hear that Hendrix album one more time, I'll blow my brains out.
