LtS -
You might see if the "campus book store" at almost any college/university in California or Colorado (esp. Boulder) has appropriate cards. I'd guess that T-shirts (and/or shorts) would be more likely offerings though.
I'd heard of this, via a couple of 6-month assignements to Boulder CO several decades ago, but as the article said, I thought it had pretty much died out. The term seems to have originated(?) with a "younger crowd" - i.e. high schoolers - rather than with old-line hippies.
(comealonglately wannabees?)
But now we'll all know the term when it shows up in a filk song - - - I suppose.
