After we both worked separately on the book Weird California, I finally got to meet Mike Marinacci, whose book Mysterious California had fascinated me for years. We had a few book signings around the San Francisco Bay area in 2006, and then met again unexpectedly at Robert Anton Wilson’s memorial service of last year, where he agreed to this interview which took place on February 25.
We talked about Bob Wilson, Charles Manson, E. Clampus Vitus, the Billiwack Monster, the ancient lizard people of Los Angeles, and why many Americans think that California is full of weirdos.
