National City drive-in church, San Diego folk music in the 1960s
At Spanky's they dance the bump, Las Hermanas women's coffeehouse, local computer dating, 85 New Age groups at El Cortez Hotel
"When that usher walks up to the car, everybody puts something in the cup."
Gimme that drive-in religion
“One of the greatest things is you get more offerings than you do in regular church. When that usher walks up to the car, everybody puts something in the cup. It’s a gimmick, let’s face it.” People attend drive-in churches first because they’re curious. “They see an ad in the paper for drive-in worship and they laugh, or they drive by the drive-in theater and there’s my sign out there: New Hope Community Church, Dave Galloway, Pastor, X-rated films.”

Conversations with a local folkie
Chris Hillman used to be in a lot of different groups. He was with Stephen Stills. He’s from San Diego, used to hang out at the Blue Guitar. He was with the Byrds. He was an original Byrd. No one that made national prominence. Hedge and Donna did pretty well for a while but faded out. The closest now to national prominence is Tom Waits. Two or three years ago, he’d play at the Heritage, a Mission Beach club,

The "bump"is de rigueur, and when the dance floor is crowded, even the most wary are liable to end up bruised and aching.
Don't ever ask a man to dance at Spanky's
This over-concern with odor can be most easily seen on the dance floor, where nobody, but nobody ever works up a sweat. The "bump"is de rigueur, and when the dance floor is crowded (it almost always is. dancing being the first move in the game of love), even the most wary are liable to end up bruised and aching. I worked it out one night that a single person can be bumped by as many as seven people at once and still miss her partner.

For women only
Ms. Hernandez has not spent her whole life in this Las Hermanas setting. Her lifestyles have run the gamut from three houses and an engineer husband to the women's collective where she now lives, with no husband, in fact, with no men at all. This new lifestyle, with its banging screen doors letting in flies, laundry on the floor, heavily liberated women and Sisters Share bumperstickers, is the one she seems happy with.

We found four dating services covering San Diego County; two – Computability and Matchomatic – use a computer.
For our matchless friends
For a slightly higher fee you can have only your name and phone number, omitting your address, sent to compatible matches. Or you can go completely undercover and have your name replaced with your membership number. (“Hey, Steve, you aren’t gonna believe this. A friend of mine went to a computer dating service just for kicks and guess who they matched him to? MARY ELLEN ROGERS! )

he leads me past booths offering “fine Egyptian jewelry."
Take that pyramid off your head when you're talking to me
The place is a jungle. Astro-Diagnosis, Eckankar Soultravel, palmistry. Fertility Awareness, Hair Mineral Analysis, a psychic who advertises himself as being ‘‘a million miles up the Nile,” and a holistic group that believes “death begins in the colon.” Wandering up an aisle. I meet two spiritualists who are checking out all the other spiritualists.
