He met a friend, by the shrine to Albert Hoffman with the wild painting he did for the Hoff's 100th birthday. He was smiling huge. I didn't want to interrupt, though I really wanted to thank him for creating the space he did.

Not to thread hijack or anything, but a few weeks ago, I was in this bookstore called...The Metaphysical Bookstore, and the lady who owns the place walks up to me and says we have a book on Abbie Hoffman's 100 birthday. So I walk over there, knowing what was gonna happen and she hands me a book that is about Albert Hoffman and his 100th birthday. I say, "This is Albert Hoffman, he discovered the LSD molecule." She turns to me and says "We old folks know him as Abbie Hoffman." I just said "hmmm...right" and walked way. Abbie Hoffman is a totally different person. He was a political activist and wrote Steal This Book.
Old people.

He's a really cool guy, you should have talked to him. I talked two times with him at the LSD symposioum and he was very considerate. BTW, this reminds me I still have to post my gift to the shroomery from the symposioum...

That's amazing.
This thread made me browse over to alexgrey.com
I was going through the paintings, and on each one I'm just like "...wow"
Amazing artist!

That's gotta be a great sight! Remembers me of this documental where you could see Picasso drawing as if he was drawing the lens of the camera, it was AMAZING! He did one of a goat and it was a trip on itself, I'll try to find a torrent and share it

From what I hear he's a really fragile seeming man. My friend took the tour with him where he talks about each painting and each symbol in the paintings. She said he was just a really peaceful guy.
At Bisco he seemed very fluid with his motions.
I think I'd be too star struck to be able to speak to him on acid. Plus i tend to blurt really stupid things when I get nervous like that. I wouldn't want to say anything unless I had a specific thing to say to him.
I'm happy you had such a good time OMR.

i'm glad you made it, and everything was good!
it's really an amazing, peaceful place, right? you have to come to one of the live paintings with us next.. 
you should have waited and just said, 'hello' and 'thanks'... I talked to him, he's very approachable and very gracious.

Me too. Plus I've got another one in my kitchen (and both signed, too), since I was sent an extra one on accident.
I bet that gallery was fucking amazing today. I bet the LSD itself was even better.
