About 1:15 Ralph came over, filmed today. Gillian came, then Christine, then Dave and Ruth. Smoked Dave's 2 joints, got [very] stoned, heard Dave's 'Black Sabbath #4' record [which is what was playing during the scenes filmed in the livingroom (eg. Dave dancing).]. Christine and Ruth left at 4:30. Watched 'Bugs Bunny'. Dave and Gill dropped 1/4 each of my blotter I got Wednesday. Ralph left at 6? Dave and Gill stayed for dinner (Ps-parents out), I dropped at 7. About 7:15 Ralph (he dropped too) and Andy came. Watched the movies in the livingroom. Danielle the Lesley then Chris came (we phoned him at 7). Found Chris on the floor drinking [out of the liquor cupboard. Though he looked good in a olive green shirt this night, he turned me off by getting drunk]. Everyone everywhere. Chris bought smoke. Andy sat on a kitchen chair and it broke, put it back together. Made frozen pizza. Made a tape and filmed. Dave left at 9:25, the rest except for Lesley at 11:50, Lesley left at 11:15 [a splendid time was had by all].
