August 3 Friday

This may have been the night we saw five 'Planet of the Apes' movies at the Dollard Drive-In. Heavy fog rolled in though, and we had to leave. Donna, Andy, Dave? Ralph? Larry?

 

[Ralph's-3 August/73

 

I was there for the Planet of the Apes all-nighter at the Dollard drive-in. So was Dave. Wasn't he sitting on the hood of the car at some point on the long and slow drive home through the fog?]

 

August 8 Wednesday

Went to a park in Beaconsfield to watch the CHOM baseball team. Doug Pringle was there.

 

August 11 Saturday

Pictures taken at Fairview of Donna, Lesley and I. nite-a dull night at the Drop-In (here in its first contemporary reference - see below). Donna, Ralph, Dave, Andy and I went to Donna's. I got drunk, either at the Drop-In or Donna's. Soon Donna was nude on the bed. One by one the others left (I'm sure she would have slept with all of us, but we weren't ready for that yet). I fell asleep on the bed and woke up about 7 am, and left. Donna called later and asked what happened.

 

August 21 Tuesday

Went to my old church in Roxboro for a boring coffee house with Ralph, Andy and Phyl Douce (who's idea it was). I hadn't been in the church since 1965.

 

August 22-29 Wednesday-Wednesday

Trips to Roxboro in the car. On one we were stopped by the police on 14th Ave and our descriptions taken.

 

Gillian returns from England on August 22 Wednesday

August 24 Friday

Today I went to a 12 hour party on Dollard. Got stoned. Was with Larry Habel. Good time.
