The Honolulu Arts District in downtown Honolulu sponsored an event they called "Hippie Holiday" last Friday night to celebrate the "Summer of Love" in 1969 - painted Volkswagens and all.
I saw the promo on the local morning news show, but there wasn't anything in the morning paper about it, and I didn't see any post-event coverage either.
I'd half-way convinced myself that I was going to check it out, but as so often happens, I got lazy around the time it started, so I just planted my butt back in my easy chair and skipped the whole darned thing.

Craig ... Summer of '69
What the heck, I experienced that "Summer of Love," the real thing during the summer of 1969 in Los Angeles. What did I do back then? I read about it at work, and then watched it on TV at home with my butt planted firmly in my easy chair.Things haven't changed in 40 years, have they?

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
