Anyone remember the guy outside Frost at Stanford selling plastic Flickr glasses with little holes that you blow into to make them spin as you stare at the sun with your eyes closed? They were basically mini dreamachines. Never have been able to track him down. He just appeared one day selling these things out of the blue and then vanished. Weirdest thing ever. I bought a pair but I must have lost them. They appeared to be professionally manufactured, but I don’t recall any identifying information engraved in the plastic. I swear, this guy was probably a professor experimenting on the public. I wish I could remember the year. 1989?


I remember trying out a similar device someone was selling at the Lollapalooza festival in Phoenix, AZ in 1993. Could be the same guy?
