The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
“—and the Pranksters sit around Kesey’s living room at night, grooving on many strange events. Like the day of the great Blackout in New York City, the great power failure that knocked out subways, elevators, lights, air conditioners, TVs, clocks, buildings and the rest of the hulks in the great cancer capital of the East. The Pranksters grooved over the cataclysm and grokked it. Such consternation in the cancer capital! A huge surge of electricity had suddenly rolled through the wires and freaking blown everything. The utility companies didn’t know what had caused this surge, but bygod they had experts working on it and they would figure it out and such a surge would never occur again.

It seems that some kid had been playing hooky from school in New York that day and had gone off to the movies finally and come out of the movie house about 5:15 P.M. and started walking home, ...feeling guilty already, and he picked up a stick out of the gutter and he started whacking parking meters with it.MoreLess
