In 2008 Fraser Clark announced that he had inoperable liver cancer and a farewell Megatripolis was held at Heaven on 13 November.

Megatripolis was an innovative, underground London nightclub created by Encyclopaedia Psychedelica editor and founding Zippie, Fraser Clark[1] with Sionaidh Craigen, Marcus Pennell, the Scooby Doobies, other members of the Evolution Collective, and Bugsy and JJ of Dream Records. Their intention was to combine New Age ideology with Rave culture and create a vibrant, festival-like atmosphere where people would be confronted by cross-cultural ideas and experiences at every turn.
This club proved popular, although some reporting of it suggested a dichotomy between an avowed downplay of psychedelic substances and perceptions of substance use by some club-goers. [2] In any event, the club provided a meeting place of like-minded people and served as a platform for social awareness and activism as well as more traditional nightclub fare.
Typical evenings combined lectures and workshops with live musical performances and DJing playing mostly progressive house accompanied by video imagery and live theatre. Visits from speakers such as Allen Ginsberg, Terence McKenna, George Monbiot, Howard Marks and Ram Dass were common, as well as from guest DJs including Colin Dale, Alex Paterson, Paul Oakenfold, Andrew Weatherall and Mr C with resident DJs Darius, Richard Grey and Nik Sequenci.
The usual club bouncers were supplemented by fluorescent jacket-clad minders called the Megatripolice; new-age style stalls occupied the central hallway selling non-alcoholic energy drinks, body jewellery, alternative "small press" comics and magazines (such as the short-lived, but influential Head Magazine), as well as T-shirts and other clothing.
Also notable were early demonstrations of the World Wide Web at a time when most patrons were just beginning to be aware of what was then termed cyberculture, something seen as an important, if not defining, part of the Zippy future. Underground bulletin boards such as London's pHreak hosted live "cyber events" from the club. There was a live video interview with Arthur C Clarke via satellite from his home in Sri Lanka. Ram Dass lectured the assembled, and Allen Ginsberg read them poetry in his final UK appearance. Inner-space psychonaut Terence McKenna explained how mankind came from the stars. Atmospheric music combined with sound effects was often played along to films in the chill-out rooms.[3].

An offshoot of the club was started by Fraser Clark and others, in San Francisco in late 1994. It ran for five consecutive weeks before closing.
The sixth and final night of the club was a "launch rave" hosted by Ronin Press for Timothy Leary's book Chaos And Cyber Culture. In true "illegal UK rave" tradition, patrons were given the event's location at a nearby burger joint. Leary jammed and performed jazz skat with famous Bay Area musician Marunga (?).
Leary exerted a powerful influence over the philosophy of the club and the "zippy" movement overall. An indication of this can be found in the introduction to his posthumous book The Fugitive Philosopher (Ronin Press, September 2007) written by Fraser Clark. The original title of the piece, published in Clark's online magazine the UP![1], was Timothy Leary Was A Saint Who Will Be Remembered & Celebrated Long After Jesus, Mohamed and Elvis Are Forgotten
