@Southwork pics are up from Washington DC!!!!
DC PICS INSIDE!! - Once again, Washington DC was an absolute blast. We are ever grateful to Ugly Purple Sweater and Rock and Roll Hotel for their hospitality as well as our homie Jamal for taking these outstanding pictures. He snaps all around the DC area and beyond for his own company Jamal Ahmed Photography and he grabbed these beauties of our ugly asses hopping around the stage in Washington. Thanks again Jamal, can’t wait to see you again.
The effect is somewhat like looking through a microscope. Suddenly when you look through a microscope you discover that there is an invisible world around you that you hadn’t known about. The same is true about the psychedelic drug. You are aware of processes that going on inside your own brain. You are aware of the exchange of energy going on between your sense organs and the ones around them that you weren’t aware of before.
— Timothy Leary
Every phenomenon, and every person, is a microcosm of the whole pattern of the universe, according to this idea. It is as if each man were an atom in a molecule in a fingernail of a giant being. Most men spend their lives trying to understand the workings of the molecule they’re born into and all they know for sure are the cause-and-effect workings of the atoms in it. A few brilliant men grasp the structure of the entire fingernail. A few geniuses, like Einstein, may even see that they’re all part of a finger of some sort - space equals time, hmmmmmm… All the while, howeve, many men get an occasional glimpse of another fingernail from another finger flashing by or even a whole finger or even the surface of the giant being’s face and they realize instinctively that this is a part of a pattern they’re all involved in, although they are totally powerless to explain it by cause and effect. And
then —some visionary,through some accident —through some quirk of metabolism, through some drug perhaps, has his doors of perception opened for an instant and he almost sees— presque vu!—the entire beingand he knows for the first time that there is a whole …other pattern here .. . Each moment in his life is only minutely related to the cause-and-effect chain within his little molecular world. Each moment, if he could only analyze it, reveals the entire pattern of the motion of the giant being, and his life is minutely synched in with it - Tom Wolfe, the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
