  Using Theatrical Devices to Counter Culture by Marcus Del Greco
Another feature of Digger fashion which shouldn't be understated was the tendency to "dress down." Though evident in the 1950s, "casual" dress didn't reach its appex of chic-dom until the late 60s when the prevalence of the word "equality" triggered a reaction.
Although the Diggers "were not serving fl causes out of loyalty to an ideological analysis," they were nonetheless "allied [with the Panthers] by territory and a common love of freedom." (22) The two groups lived closely together, the Diggers in the Haight and the Panthers in the Fillmore, San Francisco's fl ghetto.
Digger theatre was always grass-roots and interactive, designed to steer you "trip" (28) into one of personal liberation by insisting on the audience's right to take action.

Which was wrong, because the Diggers (or True Levellers as they styled themselves) were a democratic utopian group of radicals during the (Civil war in England between the Parliamentarians and the Royalists under Charles I; 1644-1648) English Civil War.
In their publications, the Diggers coined such phrases as "Do your own thing" and "Today is the first day of the rest of your life".

Digger’s objective is to offer a wide range of well prepared food using fresh local ingredients wherever possible with a high consistent level of quality and service.
We chose to sample Digger’s Surf and Turf from the daily specials list and were delighted with the perfectly cooked seafood stuffed half lobster that came with some of the most succulent Danish baby back ribs you could imagine.
Digger’s is a great place for a party, formal or informal (they also have a separate party room) and also is a great place to just drop into because you will always find something, large or small on the menu to tempt your appetite.

Digger and Arne leave the bar together and, apparently by chance, meet up with Joan Niemi, the beautiful leader of the separatist movement, who has some special abilities of her own.

 Guidelines to Writing Great College Book Reports by Custom Papers
The professor wants to know that you have read and understood the book as a whole, and that you are able to take the specific elements of plot and character and weave them together to discover the larger messages.

Although it is a popular belief that your conclusion should be your introduction written with different words, this is not an effective way to finish.

 Richard Brautigan: A-Z Index of People and Events Associated with His Writings and Life
Either way, the Diggers' idealogy was bohemian consensus united with new left politics seen through pyschedelic eyes and put into action with an aggressive manner inherited from their Mime Troupe roots.
For the Diggers, theater was revolution (Perry 259) and they became famous for such theatrical events as giving away food and providing lodging to people in the Haight-Ashbury district.

 Kirby Doyle tribute, links, bibliography & resources
Their space had the air of a gypsy hide-out: incense and candle smoke in the air, velvet drapes over low tables, a vase with peacock feathers, wall art by George Herms and Wallace Berman, dim lights, and tarot cards laid for a reading.
Kirby would fall back on the floor stretching out his big-boned, Irish body and roar with laughter at what he'd just typed, then take a hit of a joint, or disappear to shoot some crystal meth and come back with a small glass of wine for each of us.
I certainly don't remember much about Kirby in the context of Digger Batman's birth; he was there and we DID blow some fine herb, but that event was WAY beyond my realm of experience at the time and I have little "memory" of those moments.

It certainly was not just mass circulation magazines - though the UPS boasted a readership of 6 million in 1970 - but also very simple and handcrafted papers did participate, like the ‘Free City’ handouts published in San Francisco in 1967, and communal ‘digger’ papers like Hapt in the UK, Netherlands and Switzerland.
