I (a young boy along with my family) met Jimi and the band when they were staying at the Travel Lodge Motel in Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco in June of 1967 - just before their debut at Monterey Pop Festival.
Jimi's room was on our floor and he did indeed walk around with his Strat out of the case. The Coke machine in the hall was broken and we found that if you reached up in it you could jiggle the bottle and it would come out free.
My sister stopped Jimi in the hall and asked him to reach up and grab us a bottle. He smiled and said, "Sure." He reached up and pulled out a dripping small bottle of Coke. Free! We all laughed.
We made small talk for a bit. You could tell he was a very sweet guy who loved kids and life. My sister asked him if he was in a group and he said, "Yes," and then off he walked to his room and that weekend to change the world.

Jimi had a condition called arachnodactyly. Spider fingers.
The fickleness, ah, the fickleness!

OrangeMo the feral cat is a funny one. I was gone for five days, then first day back he showed up for one meal, then shifted into double shifts.

white & black The Wedding Climb.
I had hoped to also take the plunge,
but it was cold blustery & I drew the heat;
silly renta-rube did you think she was gonna follow in a wedding gown? (I'll try to find the pic, The Bride & Priest being 'interrupted') Ironically, the climb's name is "A Short Day"(if you get caught)
Lake Side is a big no-no,
I look at it as karmic - I went all over,
racking up some trespass charges along the way. New Jersey.
A no climbing state (ooh there is a no axes fund thread trendin')
they have just scrubbed my submissions over on the Mnt Reject.
It took one 64yr old fool to make 3 phone calls, getting this declared a "NO CLIMBING"zone.
AGAIN !(C'mon 'Gunkie' do me a solid and post the Steve O'Keef pages)
Z - got all into the Ventures after you shared The Astronauts,
