1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    I love how they used to call it tea. I think I'm going to bring that back.

    That was a pretty cool read. I'm going to roll up some tea now.

    Junky is one of my favorite books. Burroughs actually wanted to call it Junk, but the publisher refused to publish it under that name. In the 50th anniversary edition the title is written out as JUNK followed by Burroughs' name followed by the letter Y. Sort of a posthumous vindication.
