In those days in San Francisco, the Straight Theatre in the Haight area was a central meeting point for artist types, and Pineda acted in small plays, did some Flamenco dancing and was part of the ‘psychedelic scene’. 'My roots are in alternative culture, in particular the psychedelic underground'.
