"PETS - Rainbow literature discourages bringing pets to gatherings; however, many gathering participants chose to ignore this request. Exact counts were not possible, but an estimated 4500 dogs were present, along with cats, several birds, lizards, two llamas and one goat. The goat was eaten during the gathering. "
That's funkin' outtasight!

 

"DRUGS - County officials and residents were extremely concerned there would be an increase in drugs in the area resulting from the Rainbow Family’s presence. This fear has not been realized; however 178 hits of LSD were found in a public restroom in Paonia, during the gathering period. "

oops.

 

"Managers need to remember they are dealing myth PEOPLE. They need to find common ,. ground and work from there.

Humor will go a long way. It Drill lessen stress levels in managers. Information couched in humor Oil be better received.

Managers need to identify which Family members are the power people, who has credibility and can make things happen. This can only be learned by working with the Family on site. "

Umm. Maybe the managers can learn how to speak English? And they'll never find the leaders. Don't let them managers find the leaders. Tell them, they are myth people! They like Oil rubbed on them! Now hop to it double-time sergeant and find those oily myth people! I want to talk to them too!

 

Oh I am so excited I am going this year with my friend, she has been going since she was eight with her Grandma, and I get to go this year.

 

wtf..they ate the goat?? I thought there was a ton of food kitchens around so it wasn't necessary to slaughter animals there

 

ocassionaly a hunter or farmer will drop off something dead at a kitchen, & provifed it doesnt get served at main circle and they offer vegan alternatives some kitchens are ok with cooking dead things

but hey..yopu should bring your beautiful coons..i'd love to meet em..just, be allittle careful..not all the dogs are well behaved, & some of the humans who come withn em arent much better when it comes to keeping an eye on them..
i would love to see more cats birds lizzards monkeys coons fox's whatever..& fewer dogs.. but some people just have nowhere to leave em so gotta bring them..
just please, if you do..be responcible for your dogs & keep them out of fights & kitchens

 

Colorado '92 was the only national I went to. Lots of regionals, though. It was beautiful. It seemed like there was almost constantly a rainbow somewhere in the sky. I remember sitting up on the hillside where love'n'ovens was and looking over the valley and seeing rainbows over the hills at the other side of that huge valley.


And the trade circle. I scored. For giving a guy 2 hair wraps I got...um...happy for like a week.

I haven't been to a gathering in ages because I can't drive. It didn't matter when I didn't have kids, but now it just hasn't happened in a long time.
