Life in a time of LSD



This really had me cracking up. Especially from the airport to the friends girlfriend's house. Hilarious. This animated documentary is one of those gems you bump into when surfing the internet. Dock Phillip Ellis Jr was a major league baseball player who pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates back in the day. He's also a legendary user of LSD. He famously claimed he threw a no hitter in 1970 under the influence of LSD. Animator James Blagden brings this affair to life in a vivid and seemingly clever animation with voice over from the man himself. It's showing at this years sundance and if you can see it please do. Jimi Hendrix and Nixon references hit home.
