Remember a big party out on Manns Chapel road at the 3 A-frames and pond that was a party sponsored by ACID I'm pretty sure they had blue grass music.

I know those A-frames. Played volleyball out there a couple of times.

Had friends living out there several times. I remember an English (Morehead Scholar?) named Algie as being the head honcho for ACID.

Thus was, I believe the same space as the third Cat’s Cradle and directly behind the original location of ‘Mama Dip’s’ and right beside/across the alley from Tijuana Fats’.

 

[donbosco]

Nearby.

The A-frames were built by 60s drug dealers. Went out there as a 2 week old freshman to buy pot one night. Quite the trippy atmosphere in one of the small ones. Some time later I ended up living in one of the big ones for several years in the 80s/90s.

Anyone else know Marco? @finesse? @donbosco?

Doesn't ring a bell. There is a gap or two in my memory during that time, though.

Marco? Hmmm.

 

[donbosco]

Speaking of the ‘Marcos’ of the world, did any of y’all know this guy? This is a photo of him some 35 years after he roamed late night Rosemary Street.

 

[grimes70]

Familiar face.

 

[finesse]

Same for me but don't know from when or where. Was he around 40 years ago? That's about when I quit going to bars to any extent at all.

Around probably from about 1983 to 2000. Name's Roscoe. He turned up in GSO where I ran into him again. He had become a therapist and caregiver. He passed away a couple of years ago.

Did he frequent Bullwinkle's?
