I lived in the Haight in 1969; first on Fell Street, then on Shrader and Cole; It was indeed a magical time; I can't imagine the world happening like that again; The openness toward others, etc; The world is so different now that I have difficulty sometimes thinking that it really happened and wonder what happened to change everything so much; I remember the wonderful food co-op we belonged to; Sid and Dino and little Julliet,now grown-up, if you're out there 'hello', how is your life? To a time gone by! - Durango, CO

I remember seeing a lot of bands at the Straight Theater, everything from the deafining 'Blue Cheer' to the blues of 'James Cotton'; I think I saw the 'Allmen Joys' there as well, they later became the 'Allman Bros; Band'; To be honest about it, a lot of shows that I saw there were when I was on a voyage through the cosmos, I've never been the same since one night there; For some reason I still have a warm place in my heart for the Straight Theater, I guess I always will; There was a lot of Love those few years, now look they want to televise an execution; This may sound weird to anyone that knows me, I think back on my years in the Haight as good ones, I would do it all again; Peace out my brothers and sisters, try and keep some love in your heart; 30 November 2001 - Marina, CA

Our band,'Frumious Bandersnatch', had great times performing at the Straight Theater back in 1967; It was definitely a magical experience as our music leapt off the stage thru the audience and onto the light show covered walls; Love your web site too! - San Rafael, CA

The 60's era was an era I would have liked to live in; I did a history project for my U;S; history class over Haight Ashbury, and I enjoyed every minute of it; If I could go back in time I would go to that place and time; I would also like to thank Reg for sending my group and me some things from the theater, that was so awesome; - Texas

A walk down memory lane; I hope that the Straight's parquet floor held up well; I still have a couple of pieces of that maple; I sure got tired of trying to shuck and jive the lumber rards out of materials; Nathan was a good teacher; I saw his Dad's mural up on Parnassus a couple of years ago; Wish I could have been more help in relocating it; How come you never mentioned the wedding of Goldfinger and what's her name; Country Joe played and I forget who else; Does anyone remember the Aries Birthday Party for Hillel, Steve and me? - Richmond, VA - United States of America, TA DA Reggie's Comments   Zachime, foreman, led construction of the giant dancefloor built over the first 26 rows of seats in the Straight. He went on to direct building and stage managed the Sky River Rock and Lighter Than Air Festival outdoors in Sultan Washington Labor day weekend 1968. His smiling face and mop of shocking blond hair can be seen among the stills collected from "Sky River Rocks" by Reginald, stored on the Films page button along side my other films from the era. Good hearing from you Charlie. Love and Peace, REW

We had a lot of fun creating the new look with added pages and hope that you are moved to write about your 60's memories and current realities; I have been hoping that a page like this will also help find old and new friends; The Artists, musicians, artisians, hip proprietors, and free thinkers from the old Haight; I need to interview people like artists Randy Salas, Terrie, Tad Hunter, Chris Bragga, and artisians like Nathan Zackhime, Brent Dangerfield Genius engineer and producer; We are in the process of adding sounds of the Era and would like any of the old bands like Mad River, Phoenix, Freedom Highway, to add audio files along with Frumious Bandersnatch, Sopwith Camel and Neil Cassidy and the Dead; The future will also bring new light on old history with issues that instead of going away are being reevaluated for the new millienium on a Button to be called "The Straight on The Haight" Random Chapters; Here is a place to bring up controversial subjects in a civilized way; Love Peace and Fun, Reg E
