OC's brotherhood of acid-dropping surfers

Orange-Sunshine.jpgOC Weekly staff writer Nick Schou's new book is "Orange Sunshine: The Brotherhood of Eternal Love and Its Quest to Spread Peace, Love, and Acid to the World." It's billed as the true story of "the best-kept secret of the 1960s," a group of acid and hashish-dealing Orange County surfers known as the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, also dubbed the Hippie Mafia. OC Weekly colleague Matt Coker interviews him for, naturally enough, the Weekly's staff news blog. There's also an excerpt on the OCW website.
