Celebrate the Spirit of the Merry Pranksters

Ken Kesey, Neal Cassady, and the Merry Pranksters sit at the intersection of the Beat Generation and the psychedelic era that gave rise to the Grateful Dead. This collection brings together the books, tees, and vinyl that document that lineage.

The Cronies memoir by Ken Babbs, signed, covers the Pranksters' time with Kesey and their overlap with the Dead. The Can You Pass the Acid Test throwback tees reference the events that defined the San Francisco counterculture. Bear's Sonic Journals Eyeball Vinyl from the 1981 Berkeley Community Theater show connects the thread directly to the Dead.
