I have added copies of a few more posters and handbills to the folder in
"photos". Robbie, you can also add a few more dates to your list:

12 April 1966 - Questing Beast, Berkeley, CA: Robbie Basho, Jan Ward
May 27, 1966: Geary Street Temple, San Francisco, CA: Robbie Basho, Mime Troupe,
Open Theater, Merry Pranksters, Solomon feldthouse, perry lederman, Malachi, ken
Spiker, PH Phactor Jug Band, Charlatans(VDC/Scheer Benefit)

I would also, for completeness, include the following:

May 13,1966 - Questing Beast, Berkeley, CA: Robbie Basho (Show cancelled due to
the Closure of the Questing Beast)
May 14, 1966 - Questing Beast, Berkeley, CA: Robbie Basho (Show cancelled due to
the Closure of the Questing Beast)

I was sent an e-mail asking for more details about the 'Wock, the easisest is to
check my web pages:

Berkeley Barbs (1965 to the end of 1969) and am also responsible for the
www.chickenonaunicycle.com website, the history of the Jabberwock et al. We are
gradually working through all the other Berkeley venues and I will try and let
you know about any of the Basho dates that you do not have on your list (which I
have yet to locate). The Barbs are not available on line at this time.

with The Contraceptive date is incorrect. It should be 1967. The same is true
for January 24, 1966 – Print Mint, Berkeley, CA with The Contraceptive – it is
from 1967.

Basho posters from the Jabberwock that I have yet to scan and post to the web
site. I think there may also be a 40 Cedar Alley show from 1966. In addition
to the run of the m ill ads, from around September 66 to May 67 there were6x4
(or double size) ads drawn by Tom Weller for Country Joe and the Fish on the
back of the Barb. A number of these also feature Bash and I will endeavour to
copy them and post them when I can.

interview he did there, and all the others have been taken from ads in mostly
either the Oakland Tribune or the Argus, which can be searched on
www.newspaperarchive.com for a small fee.
