In the weeks ahead, Barry Alfonso, a founding member of the San Diego Comic-Con committee and a Grammy-nominated music journalist, will be sharing his remembrances of the guest appearance of the famous (and/or infamous, depending upon point of view) Dr. Timothy Leary at the 1976 San Diego convention. Barry says, “I think you will find some of the incidents in this tale pretty interesting.”
