On December 16th 1967 The San Francisco Mime troupe organized a street event to “celebrate the death and rebirth of the Haight-Ashbury and the death of money”.They gathered 200 car mirrors from used car lots, bought or aquired 1,000 penny whistles, incense, candles and several hundred lillies and printed up hudreds of posters with the word “NOW”. The mime troup split into two groups that walked up and down Haight on either side of Haight Street, chanting and handing out the posters and the pennywhistles to the crowd. Girls dressed in white sheets like togas gave out flowers and the car mirrors were used to reflect the sun from the sunny side of the street to the shaded side. People quickly moved out into the street, blocking the traffic. A bus driver stopped his bus and got out and danced while, to the sudden anxiety of the crowd, the san Francisco Hell’s Angels drove down the central white line of the street, flying “NOW” flags from there sissy bars. Between 3,000 and 4,000 people eventually took up the chant: “The streets belong to the people”. The police gathered, but didn’t know what to do. So they did what they always did and arrested the Hell’s Angels, Chocolate George and Hairy Pete. All 4,000 peple then marched to the police ststion demanding their release. Pictured in this poster is Hairy Pete (Henry) of the San Francisco Hells Angel’s with Phyllis riding on the back participating in the movement. Pretty awesome. I sell this poster on Ebay at times under the seller name beetnix2.
