"Occupying the center of this little paradise are two locals who have achieved celebrity status: Frisbee Dan and Sun God."
I have been waiting for nearly half my lifetime for an article like this, and now it’s here: an account of the explosive beef between San Marcos, TX’s beloved weirdos, Frisbee Dan and the Sun God texashighways.com/travel/the-o...

60 years ago tonight in LA, the northridge acid test, feat. the merry pranksters & grateful dead inside the onion dome of a unitarian church. but the dead's tape labeled "2/6" really doesn't sound like an acid test.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I saw McConaughey as Sun God--with Woody Harrelson as Frisbee Dan--but Goggins works!

“Part of becoming a Texas State Bobcat was going to Sewell Park & throwing with Frisbee Dan,” says Christian Wallace, co-creator of 'Landman' & a 2010 graduate. “Not only was there this beautiful river, where you could go tubing, but also this mythical mascot.”

Many of the people who know of Frisbee Dan and Sun God also know that these one-time friends are now at odds, altering the cosmic equilibrium of the park. After all these years, the mighty river hasn’t been able to bring these two San Marcos legends back together.

Sewell Park helped both Frisbee Dan and Sun God heal from personal hardship. They adopted new personas and rebuilt their lives around the spirit that emanates from the river. Their story is part of San Marcos lore. To understand the two men, you have to understand the river, and vice versa.

I know I’m a homer but this was the most quintessentially McQuade story. Perfect idea, perfect execution. Dan was the only person on Earth who could’ve written this.
