Friday Ephemera bonus - the Electric Circus


Lots of nice little things popping up today. Our friends over at All the Streets You Crossed posted an amazing collection of 1967 Electric Circus ad's this morning. A column from the Voice, dated August 31, 1967, proves one thing - the more things change, the more they stay the same: "The Electric Circus is overloaded and is not soundproofed. If the laws were enforced, it would be shut down."

  1. Another article I found in an earlier '67 issue (can't recall the date right now), in anticipation of the E.C.'s opening, said something like, "This could bring about the MacDougalization of St. Marks." It reminded me of that term Jeremiah's VNY is so fond of using, "Vongerichtification."
