"I need to get him a copy of Season of the Witch, which is a history of SF from 1960 to 1985, which goes through the hippie revolution, like all the gays taking over the city and that culture emerging, and then the HIV/AIDS crisis and other things. And it's like, that is so recent, and so much turmoil and hurt, but also love in SF. And it's like, no one knows about this. It's a great book, Season of the Witch. I recommend it."
