PARTY AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW by Ronald Schulz
The Party at the End of the Rainbow is a creative nonfiction memoir that reads like a novel.
Released from jail and the asylum in 1970, Ron turns eighteen and gets his draft card, but he can never betray his convictions or cut his hair and join the straight society. From Rock Concert to gritty city streets, Ron hits the road and finds wild love and wilder sex, along with betrayal. Ron and his wild, tree-hugging band of saboteur friends fight back against the Establishment from promoting the first Earth Day school walkout until he joins the White Panthers, whose motto is, “Dope, Rock ‘n’ Roll And Fucking in the Streets!” This memoir is a sequel to CHICAGO RAGE and more true tales of love and lust on the road and in the streets will follow.

Author Bio:
Born in Chicago, Ronald Schulz grew up in the semi-rural suburb of Wood Dale. At fifteen in 1967, he ran away to New Orleans, where he lived on Skid Row until betrayed by a priest. As a disaffected 17-year-old high school dropout in 1969, Ronald took a massive dose of LSD while hitchhiking alone into the wide-open Western American scene in search of the counterculture. He later became involved in radical movements in New York and Chicago, including the SDS Days of Rage, where he was arrested and subjected to several months in a mental hospital. He made the most of it, joining the White Panthers and later a rural Wisconsin commune, which remained his home throughout the 1970s. In 1975 he hitchhiked across North Africa and the Middle East, spent time on a kibbutz, and worked at a copper mine in Israel’s Negev desert. Then he went to India and Nepal, where he studied Buddhism under Lama Yeshe for nine months. His life has been full of adventure, travel, and different jobs, including teaching English classes in Tokyo, construction work in Los Angeles, and mining in South Dakota and Colorado. Ronald has a BA in political science from the University of Washington, as well as certificates in memoir writing and teaching English as a second language. He has been to every continent and now lives in Seattle, writing a series of honest memoirs.
