I still have copies of all three of the mags. Remember Leland Myerzove - we printed his mag Burning Bush, and I remember you, Charlie. You were a good guy.

Letters from Wallace Berman to me sold on ebay. They menioned Artaud, Dean Stockwell, George Hermes and Dennis Hopper artwork. I don't have their contents. I don't know what happened with NOW originals, which I guess were picked up from my "underwear strewn" floor as Ginsberg wrote in the poem. I had a reason for putting my dirty clothes and towels on the floor to act as dusting before I took the whole works to laundromat. It was probably shocking for a middle class kid from Patterson! Ha! I had a mattress on floor and record player and mss, just essential items. Neal's room was on one side and Allen's on the other at the Gough St. flat where he wrote the poem (above). "Bed on the Floor" is and old tune by Woody Guthrie and my lifestyle long before I heard og the Beats. Charlie Thanks for the history. Letters from Wallace Berman to me sold on ebay.

Glenn came out of the writer's closet! I've been telling everyone...check with Glenn Todd. He remembers everything! Yes Karen did bring the Dylan I played for Allen. Allen didn't seem impressed with Okie immitation of Guthrie blowing in the wind, but after Dylan's fame that's all he played!!!I laughed until I cried about meeting the VW as the only signs of life on the desert highway. (Very Eerie) He sent me a tearsheet from the London Times a few years ago about Anne, who had been selected as Andy Warhol's most beautiful film people. A half century ago,I stopped for her on Market St. while she waited for a trolley. She hopped on my bike and rode to furthur! Yes, the first NOW was printed on both red and orange day-gow paper. I shoved whatever I had into the press, but it was all the same run. cp OMG! Glenn came out of the writer’s closet! I’ve been telling everyone…check with Glenn Todd. He remembers everything!
