Mescaline on the 23rd and 24th [and I took a break from chemicals until May, which may explain why in this period my first realistic drawings emerge...]

January 25
Mike's.

January 26
The Drop-in

(Andy's) January 25+26 Friday-Saturday
I went up to Fairview on Friday where I met Bennie Bennet and Julie Pratt, two nice-looking girls of whom I had aquaintanced a few weeks earlier, through Dave E., and I had been trying to get to know for about a week. We got stoned and split down to a bash at Mike's, then split to Topaz and got them a ride home.

Saturday John Taite and I got them to invite us to Bennie's baby sitting job. We bought some beer after going to the drop-in first and then headed up to the place. When we got there, we smoked some hash oil and watched T.V.-and I managed to make it with Bennie (however Julie stopped John with a frantic "no way, no way!")

January 30
Ralph's

The large group of people that had met over the summer and fall now splits into three main groups:
1) Heather, Louise, Rachelle, Tracy, Brenda(>) [not Gates], plus René, Pete and Jerry S.
2) Sue, Bennie, Richard, Scott, Murry, sometimes Dave and Dave H. Ralph and Andy fit into groups 1 and 2.
3) Rob, Maggie, Michelle, Foster, Fred, Ernie, Danny, Tim and myself. We were basically sick of the Drop-In.

January 31-February 1 Thursday-Friday
Maggie,Tim, Michelle, Rob, Danny and I went. Once there we climbed Mt. Boge, toking half way up, then again at the top.

We partied in a room upstairs (which because it was ugly, and the mess we made of it, we called it 'The Sleazy Hotel'. The power went off that night, we used candles. The window of the room covered in a very thick (but beautiful) layer of ice.

We got very stoned ("there's a man in the pipe", Maggie had the 'Mystic Buns', "There's a pig in the room" (it was a pig shaped lamp)).

Later Maggie was crashed in another room. She had an eye infection, as we came in the room there was this big red eyes staring up at us from over the edge of the blanket. We ran in terror.
One of them had to stay in the 'Boge Room' (where the monster would get them. There was a mirror on the floor there).

February 1 cont.
The next day we slid down the road and hid the beer cans in the field.

A film survives of this trip (and imbedded in the movies at this time are two very brief fragments of film I found on the floor of a classroom at school. In the first one a guy walks towards the camera carrying a case of beer. It was this guy who during the school year, while on acid, spit at the principle and was taken away by the police...).

On returning to Montreal we went to the Drop-In. We felt the ice from the others there.
