The San Diego Door

Good Morning, Teaspoon, began as a local underground which first published in October 1966, and was edited by Don Monkerud, Jim Willems, and Jon Gulledge.

Dale Herschler left and the remaining staff adopted a gentler, more laid-back and hippie-ish look and feel for the paper.

Reference to the long defunct underground San Diego Door newspaper was made in the 2000 film Almost Famous by Cameron Crowe .

However, before that he was a contributor to The San Diego Door, where a clip that he wrote caught the attention of Ben Fong Torres at Rolling Stone.

[2] Music critic and journalist Lester Bangs, who then lived in El Cajon, also had a connection to the newspaper before he became a freelance writer at Rolling Stone and Creem magazines.
