Tune in, turn on and drop out was the advice given by Timothy Leary and
taken by many (myself included) during the hippie heydays of the late
1960's. I will never forget my visit to San Francisco in 1967, and
feeling like a stranger in a strange land.
This amazing site invites you to turn off your mind, relax and float
downstream and highlights some of the mood altering experiences of the
psychedelic era. If I could stop time, it would be here. Not to mention
how much fun it would be, to be 25 again. <sigh>
LONG STRANGE TRIP

Twenty years ago, Nina and Tim Zagat created a new standard for the
restaurant and travel guide business with the introduction of their
first ZAGAT New York City Restaurant Survey. Rather than being judged on
one person's tastes from one or two visits, each restaurant or hotel is
judged on the basis of hundreds of separate, individual experiences.
This online version of the pocket-sized ZAGAT surveys includes over
100,000 participant's ratings and reviews restaurants in more than 40
major U.S. and foreign cities.

Fametracker.com calls itself the farmers almanac of celebrity worth and
tracks the rise and fall of our favorite stars.
The "2 Stars, 1 Slot" section deals lightly with what happens
when Hollywood has space for one character actor, yet two stand ready to
assume the position. The "fame audit" questions which stars
burn brighter than deserved while the "Reasonable Person"
perspective tries to accurately determine how famous the stars really
are.
