What???? I didn't see those there! If I'd have known, I would've picked up a copy of both. Oh well, I did get some plain blotter art that was very, very nice so....it's all good.

1) What's Big Summer Classic? 2) How much were the autographs going for? 3) Are you sure that they were authentic autographs?

Big Summer Classic is a festival. The one I went to in Schaumburg IL sucked because it was in a fucking baseball field with security up the ass. Nontheless, all the vendors were still there and I still had a great time.
The sheet was $2,500, and the copies were 6 thousand something. It was a reputable vendor, so I doubt they were trying to scam people, and am sure they'd provide some verification of authenticity if you were considering to purchase it. And yeah - his signature looks like he wrote it left-handed.

Jesus Christ. Hofmann autographs cost SO damn much. The cheapest I've seen an autograph from a psychedelic legend is Ken Kesey. I can't remember exactly how much they were, but when he was alive he was selling autographed copies of his books for just a little more than what the books sold for.
The money for Hofmann's autographs generally go toward helping psychedelic research though, so it's ok. Was this guy at the Big Summer thing donating the money to the cause?

Didnt say nothing about it, but I didnt ask. If I had that much money to spend on something like that though, I wouldnt spend it on an autographed sheet though - I'd spend it on a trip to Sweden to go bicycle riding with the man himself before he leaves us.

Great quote.....did he happen to sign that on something for you? If so, I'm extremely jealous! Seriously though, that would be a killer score.

Nice quote. It's definitely necessary for mystery to exist if we are to continue living in the physical world. Our mortal frames couldn't handle the whole truth.

Damn thats killer. LSD is very hard to get here. Its mostly a summer thing, if and when we get it. and it seems like when it is here for some reason its the high school kids that got it...lol(WTF)(i guess people going to shows and bringing it back) so the next best thing is shrooms
