The Acid Sette

I actually know 2 of the girls in the audience at the Acid Sette concert above. They are Sue Loncaric and Jo DiSalvo and they went to high school at McCluer with me. Thought I would see myself there as well but I must have been conspicuous by my absence that evening!! Hmmmmm!!

Here's a note from Ken:

I was quite young when it was open. I lived across the street, three houses down. I remember it was underneath the Lmas Bi Rite.

I can't recall when it opened or when it closed down. And many of my peers don't remember it at all. I remember being too young to get in but hung around there all the time and snuck in quite a lot. That is where I actually smoke my first joint and was hooked for life, lol. Just wanting to get more history on it since can't remember a whole lot from that time.

Thanks Ken
