Establishing himself in the Flower Power scene of the Haight Ashbury District, he becomes a bell-bottomed entrepreneur, running a unique used garment business from the back of an old, brightly painted step van, becoming known only as Jester. Heavily involved in the sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle, he meets fascinating characters like Janis Joplin and Timothy Leary and has many amazing experiences, until he burns out on the whole scene. Leaving the Bay Area, he searches for a different direction. Jester moves in and out of different lifestyles, becoming a road nomad, traveling, over the years, from the mountains of Big Sur all the way to Alaska, with many stops along the way. In Jester: Memoirs of a Retired Hippie, Jester tastes love and loss, joy and deep sorrow, and the magic that still exists in the world, evolving into a unique and wise older man."--Back cover. 517 $aJester 606 $aHippies--United States--Biography 606 $aHaight-Ashbury (San Francisco, Calif.)--Social life and customs--20th century 606 $aNomads--United States--Biography 607 $aHaight-Ashbury (San Francisco, Calif.)$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xSocial life and customs$y20th century$vAnecdotes 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1960-1980 615 0$aHippies--United States--Biography. 615 0$aHaight-Ashbury (San Francisco, Calif.)--Social life and customs--20th century. 615 0$aNomads--United States--Biography. 700 $aTroy$b Warren$0847126 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163901803321 996 $aJester$91892377 997 $aUNINA
