In 1964-65, while I was a senior at Valley State, I would often go to a Blue Grotto Cafe, but it was up in the hills, I believe high up on Laurel Canyon. They charged like a buck to get in, only had coffee, and there was live entertainment. I think it was, like, behind someone's house. It was a 'happening' place, REAL COOL, people would wear shades... it was particularly mellow. I went from 'this' mellowness, to reporting for active duty as a Marine Corps officer...two weeks before 'The Bay of Tonkin'. Does anyone remember THAT place. I'm an Alaska photographer...
