Daily visitor permits are available for longer visits.

 

 The films:

 Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti: The audio is weak but it’s peak Ginsberg, and Neal Cassady, Orlovsky, and others make an appearance. Corso with his fly open!

 The hippie temptation: Everybody likes to dunk on hippies but Katz talking about how “nothing works” sounds like any millennial/gen z service worker without healthcare or benefits today. No Ginsberg but very interesting contradictions.  Love the cosplay doctors with their pipes and lab coats.  Tony says “I think college students would find this one captivating’ Part 2 is particularly insightful, connecting middle-class America, not communism, etc., directly to Haight-Ashbury. 

 Two short 60s commercials for in-between.
