Indiegogo: Blotted Down - The XTC and LSD Chronicles, by Robert Schaefer


True life stories of a group of friends during their years running rampant, fueled on psychedelics

Fund the publishing and first print of a collection of real life stories from the late 90s LSD and XTC fueled nights of a group of friends. Nothing held back!

This book is something that has been an idea for awhile, but has been pushed aside many times due to the content or nature of the content.... but after some more thought and having lived a "milder" life for many years now, its been decided to share the all out psychedelic fueled craziness that ensued thru the late 90s early 2000s.

A few years after graduating high school a group of friends got introduced to the party scene and the whole electronic music scene and light shows, which came along with what became a few years worth of ingesting more LSD / XTC / Mushrooms / DMT (and anything else of the sorts), and ingesting enough at times to feed not small but a large army!

Nothing is held back in this book, you will get it all, the good the bad the ugly the beautiful. It was a hell of a ride then and writing about it all was a hell of a ride as well, so pick up a pre-order and dive into the shear nonsense that evolved not just friday and saturday nights, were talking weekdays weekends, dropping hits of acid on the job, yup everywhere anywhere and anytime, it was almost "normal" if you could call it that lol.

The book includes stories of driving home at 4am still in another world doing 70 music screaming and noticing someone missing in the car to find them riding on the roof with glow-sticks in hand down I-95 thru Philadelphia. Encounters with the police as the driver confesses all the chemicals hes ingested within the past few hours and having the cop actually give a push off the highway and leave w/o any kind of troubles at the time, driving from Pennsylvania to Tennessee 12hrs away and starting the trip by folding a ten strip of acid under the tongue to arrive with four flat tires and banged up rims yet otherwise intact (what went on during those 12 hrs??), to trips to the grocery store at 3am to buy bologna to feed the fish in the tank and acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary that although with pupils as big as the moon and all on the edge of psychosis. You will be thoroughly entertained, you think parts of fear and loathing was crazy, I'm pretty sure this book surpasses the insanity by far.

Synopsis:
"THE MASTERRACE"  is the first novel of suspense featuring my character Mark.

Here’s the pitch: Mark is a young man who just finished college. He is trying to find his own way of life. Sometimes a nightmare wakes him up in the night. Mark will start looking for answers and find out, that the reality is much worse, than in his scariest nightmares. On his way to find answers will be the very helpful Max Horn, a special detective, who will show him the ability and hidden power of the human mind and body. When Mark discovers his origins and special abilities, his life will change rapidly.

About the Author
I was born in Czechoslovakia. I have also lived in Austria, Germany and Oxford in the UK. I discovered and visited many places around Europe and the World, including: the Netherlands, Switzerland, Turkey (Istanbul), France, Italy, Greece etc… I was exploring world culture, history, societies, religions and other human civilizations and heritage. I am a big fan and supporter of the Red Cross and Wikipedia because I believe that knowledge and access to education should be FREE.

I am very open minded person with a passion for history and anthropology. Knowledge and education will open minds and giving people the chance to understand, but it can be dangerous for some political and religious groups and societies. I am trying to teach people how to understand and respect each other.

The novel “The Masterrace” is a mysterious crime fiction, based on my own experiences and studies of many cultures and stories from real people from all parts of society around the world. “The Masterrace” includes an engrossing story and exposes many secrets about our society.

“The Masterrace” novel explains how and why things happen around you.

I am now living in Washington DC (USA) and participating in the „History of the World” study at Princeton University. At this moment I can speak three languages fluently (Czech/Slovak, English and German) and I am learning others (Italian, Russian, Spanish and Latin), so feel free to contact me. I am looking forward to meeting people with the same areas of interest to exchange knowledge and discus new ideas. So do not be afraid!

I am using crowdfunding for this project, because I want to publicize my research as soon as possible. This project is very time consuming and with your help I can get it done much faster. So, if you are interested in the book, please back this project with small donation.

Thank you.
