That'd be a great place to do such a thing, but I wont take credit for the words, they came from the mouth/mind of Maynard James Keenan, or possibly someone else in the band Tool.
Those words being with "Today a young man on acid realized that..."
And eventually goes into this:
"Dreaming of that face again. It's bright and blue and shimmering. Grinning wide and comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes. On my back and tumbling down that hole and back again rising upand wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye. In Out In Out In Out A child's rhyme stuck in my head. It said that life is but a dream. I've spent so many years in question to find I've known this all along. "So good to see you. I've missed you so much. So glad it's over. I've missed you so much. Came out to watch you play. Why are you running?" Shrouding all the ground around me. Is this holy crow above me. Black as holes within a memory and blue as our new second sun. I stick my hand into his shadow to pull the pieces from the sand. Which I attempt to reassemble to see just who I might have been. I do not recognize the vessel, but the eyes seem so familiar. Like phosphorescent desert buttons singing one familiar song... "So good to see you. I've missed you so much. So glad it's over. I've missed you so much. Came out to watch you play. Why are you running away?" Prying open my third eye. So good to see you once again. I thought that you were hiding. And you thought that I had run away. Chasing the tail of dogma. I opened my eye and there we were. So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me. And you thought that I had run away. Chasing a trail of smoke and reason. Prying open my third eye."
Third Eye - Tool

The intro is Bill Hicks. You should check it out. Its about how you never hear positive drug stories in the news.
I know! Ive the album, and though I havent seen the actual performance, Ive read the quotations online.
I have a documentary in my netflix queue on Hicks called American: The Bill Hicks Story that I think I'll watch this weekend.
And its true, you never do hear positive drug stories in the news. Only the from the mouths of those who do them and have had them.
I witnessed the slowing vibrations of energy last weekend. And then I saw a time traveling colonial man. Ok, he wasnt time traveling, and why there was a man dressed in colonial garb on the hillside near the beach was just beyond my comprehension.
Here with you... But at work still
I might make it home before midnight!

Searching for a zombie apocalypse survival kit that includes waffles and scotch...
Sadly, I'm not sure there are any out there.

Look like there may be a hole in the market in need of filling... put some $$$ in those eyes, boy!
Has it been so long we've forgotten already? http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f34/its-just-ride-888858/
I'll give you a very logical reason...
It's California, and the percentage of odd people is much higher near the ocean.
Or...
Ask Relic. Her likes to dress up as a Civil War soldier. Maybe he has some insight on Colonial Man.
Make your own kit... Powdered waffle mix the kind that's just add water. But then you have to cook it... You will need a real waffle iron you can put over a heatsource. The waffle iron ca. Double as a zed wacking weapon!!!
Re: Hicks/Third Eye:
I found a couple videos of his standup. They show their age, but there are at least two that exist. I don't know the name/source, though- torrented.
EDIT:
Oh, and as for positive drug stories, what about DMT + Alex Grey = Awesome.
I guess you have to put your paintings on top of your tapes, albums, and CDs before you burn them.

Wow, a very rational response! I was expecting someone to say that I was hallucinating.
But he was there, and he was REAL! The sighting was corroborated by others.
We talked about him all night, and everytime he was mentioned, at least 2 or 3 heads would turn to the hillside to see if he had returned.
Have you seen DMT: The Spirit Molecule?
Pretty intense. I know someone who can get it, but Ive yet to try it.
Remember, I live in Cali, too. I witness similar oddities with alarming regularity.
No doubt.
(Side note - I was in your fair city this morning. The weather was much nicer than it is here.)
Another sidenote: One week ago today, though perhaps about an hour earlier, I, too, was in Camarillo.
A third side note: Back in the day, the band I was in recorded an album in the engineer's parent's house...in the hills overlooking Camarillo. Twas very nice!
