Woodstock, redux--S.F.-style

In celebration of Woodstock's 40th anniversary, WESTFEST is featuring a totally far-out lineup of musicians and hippie luminaries--some of whom were actually there, man, like Country Joe McDonald and Jefferson Starship (then, as Jefferson Airplane), as well as Lester Chambers, Ronnie Montrose, Narada Michael Walden and so many others. But unlike that famed festival of yore, this one's only one day of "peace and music" (jury's out on the mud forecast) but still manages to include "a psychedelic blend of earthy fusion" belly-dancers, DJs galore, a skateboard ramp, a global meditation and a "cosmic transmission from the Galactic Center." Plus, there'll be eco games, recycled art, tie-dye vendors, a drum circle, a "hoopers" heaven, a Native American tipi village, electric bike tours, tarot, holistics and herbals, and an all-day eco dome of classes, speakers and demos. Free admission. 9am-6pm, Oct. 25 at Speedway Meadows, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. To register for the world's largest guitar ensemble playing "Purple Haze," visit www.steveroby.com.
