The bands included the Red Crayola, the Starvation Army Band and Fever Tree. The reverse side of this handbill is autographed by members of Jefferson Airplane who visited Love Street after a performance in Houston. It is believed that this was the second version of the handbill that was printed and that it was more widely distributed than the first version. During conversations with the original owner, he indicated that no one could read the first version (see below!) [Photo of poster] This is probably the first version of the grand opening poster (or large handbill) for the Love Street Light Circus. It promotes the same bands and the same dates, but includes a lot of information in the psychedelic lettering Some more info on the venue 1967-06: The Parable of Arable Land LP Released by International Artists 1967-06-29: Angry Arts Festival Red Crayola performance Live 1967: Venice Pavillion Concert, Afternoon Venice Motel, Evening, Piece One Venice Motel, Evening, Piece Two 1967-06-30: The Berkeley Barb: Folk Scene 1967-06-30: Berkeley Folk Music Festival Red Crayola performances 1967-07-02 performance Live 1967: 7/2, Evening: "Dust" 1967-07-03 performance Live 1967: 7/3, Afternoon: Red Crayola with John Fahey 1967-07-04 performance Live 1967: 7/4, Afternoon: Jubilee Concert 1967-07-17 The Rag: Berkeley Folk Festival review pg. 12 & 11 1967-07-21 The Berkeley Barb: Berkeley Folk Festival review pg. 8

His brother, Frederick Barthelme, is 27, an artist and the author of a just-published book of short fiction pieces, "Rangoon." (Winter House $7.95). Another book will be published soon by Doubleday. ... Frederick Barthelme went to St. Thomas High and the University of Houston. For a while, art was his major interest. He had a show in May 1967 at the Louisiana Gallery and he won the Oklahoma State Fair's purchase prize. His sculpture has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art. Frederick Barthelme had shoulder-length hair as long ago as 1967, which indicates an independent spirit. He played with a musical group, "The Red Crayola," and recorded "The Parable of Arable Land." His first book, "Rangoon," is the first book to be published by Winter House, a publishing company formed by Laurence Dent and his wife. Dent says that "Rangoon" is a modernization of Joyce, Camus and Stein. According to Frederick Barthelme, its central thesis is "the thunderous acceptability of the human lack of condition." 1971
