After serving the stoned and extremely tripped out for three decades, Haight Street's Red Vic will officially close forever on July 25, the movie theater's 31st birthday. It was the kind of place people love, despite never going (like bookstores and record shops!), and you can probably trip pretty hard if you lick the right armrest in there.

The SF Bay Guardia has a touching interview with Red Vic collective member Claudia Lehan, who, when asked if they're sad about seeing the old cinema house close, explained, "We definitely don't want to close, but it's just sort of not realistic." (Read the entire interview at SFBG.)

Red Vic selected Harold and Maude as the final screening.
