  I was the soundman for Grateful Dead, and also for the Carousel Ballroom in '68. One of the muralists who painted the interior of the venue was Bob Thomas, another artist who contributed to the decor, also painted murals at the Trident, in fact I seem to remember he had a strong association with the restaurant. I cannot remember his name, and would dappreciate any help. I am also seeking any photos of he interior of the Carousel, to include in a Big Brother/Janis live album I am working on based on my sonic journal tapes of a concert on 23 June 1968..

  What wonderful memories. What a truly unique place we all worked at. I remember we even got breakfast in the morning, so we were ready to serve with a smile. And Mondays off. Sweet Melvin......always with a smile, and blue eyed Richard and Marshall. Monica, Donna,Terry,Nancy, Gerry, Cindee, Linda, Mike, Kevin and Kathy and Mac! Judy and Janet took us under their wings. A wonderful trip down memory lane, and I will try and get some pictures. I still have my Polaroid! We were blessed to work in such a unique place, at such a unique time, and it wasn't the same when it became Horizons. Love to you all.

  Remembering Terry Lawson...
  
  Can you believe that Terry Lawson would have been 60 years old this week?
  
  I started dating Terry in 1974 when I was barely 17 years old. He used to smuggle me in to the dark corner bench seat at the far end of the bar. Sometimes I would have to sit in his old VW with his dog "Say Man" waiting for the weekly meeting to end (that was back when they still let him park on the parking deck). I remember watching Robin and Eric come out the kitchen door, cutting it up and making me laugh. Terry moved with me when I went to college in LA in 1976, then I accompanied him to Maui in 1978. We hung out with Bob at The Blue Max, who even invited us to a private performance by Stevie Nicks. Terry and I stopped living together shortly after that. But we remained friends until the end. Later on, (I think it was 1980, but those times are hazy at best) I went to work at Horizon's as a "Hostess with the Mostess", but didn't last long.
  
  I used to call Mary Lawson each year on this day to wish her a Happy Birthday after Terry had passed, but now that she is gone too, I thought I would honour his memory by posting my thoughts here.
  
  Happy Birthday Terry!
  
  YOU!

  A wonderful reminder from a late visitor way past its heyday. I visited Horizons with my uncle Roger Ward Somers. He pointed out the vestiges of his contribution to the Horizons. He spoke of the amazing 'traffic' that carried on in and out of the bay. My young son at the time still measures all fish dishes to that lunch. I am so glad to see the pictures of the place.

  It was 1973, I was 13 and on vacation with my family. One of the few things I remember from that entire trip is going to the Trident - I can't remember how my dad got the name of the place, it certainly wasn't a place he would know about and when we got there he wasn't so sure he wanted to stay - but I begged him to - I LOVED it - I remember the great ceiling painting, and the AMAZING menu (me being of the Peter Max sleeping bag persuasion). Right away I noticed an interesting option on the menu - chef's choice - described as whatever the chef felt like making that moment - so of course I ordered it - and although I have no idea what it was, it tasted great! Thanks for the trip back down memory lane - I wonder if there will ever be a place like it again....

  Any of you hardcore Trident folks remember a run-in with the Hell's Angels in the early 70's. My dad was a regular at the Trident. He used to boat over and grab a meal. He said one day the Hell's Angels were there. After getting his food he came out to find they'd sunk his skiff. When he asked who'd vandalized his boat they played dumb. Dad said he then walked over to a row of their motorcycles and kicked them over. Then he demanded the right his skiff, which he said they did. As he left he said a huge brawl broke out. He watched from his boat as cops swarmed the parking lot. Dad was kind of a trouble maker. He was a retired WWII navy vet and a commercial fisherman. I don't think that a bunch of punks on motorcycles stood a chance.
