THE MERRY BAND OF PRANKSTERS LOOK FOR A KOOL PLACE #1
Produced, filmed, directed, edited and staring Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters.
- It was 1964. Mercury sold a convertible. The Beatles wanted to hold your hand. Barry Goldwater was running for president. Hud was the best movie. A group of people were getting together on the West Coast. Ken Kesey had just written, "Sometimes A Great Notion." The publication party was to be in Madhattan the middle of June. The whole group decided to go. They bought a bus, painted it, outfitted it with a sound system, bought movie cameras and tape recorders, their plan: to film and record everything along the way, inter-acting with Americans, swilling big jugs of electric kool aid. When done, they would put out a feature film of the whole trip. Their fortunes and careers would be made. It didn't happen. Matching the film and the sound was too grueling. The whole thing was arrested. There were fits and starts, other attempts, but it wasn't until the digital age that the possibilities smiled and nodded. 35 years later, we achieve primal success.
This is Episode 1, 'Journey To The East,' which shows the preparing and
painting in California, the bus stuck in Arizona's Big Muddy River, the loss of a Prankster in Houston, Texas, the integration of Lake Ponchatrain in New Orleans, plus numerous wild adventures inside the bus, featuring Neal Cassady at the wheel, rapping and rolling.
