You can usually go cruisin through the woods and find the lovin ovens. Great place and people can be busy, Or go to the musical vegie cafe and kikapoo rocks I agree. And you can check out some of last years talent show at the granola funk theatre with this link.

goodness my excitement has gained 1000 levels! This summer is going to be great!

 

Haha last gathering was vey trying to get to...gold river in BC in August. We were drivin along and we saw a sign.It says emergencey dancer 4 by 4rs only. We{re like emergency dancer????....silly rainbows.....Im trying to get there real fast cause my two week old neice is at her first gathering and not staying long. Neway we take the emergency dancer road and its insane. The road is so crays that fuel for firedancing spills allover the huge bag of rice in the back of the truck and the box of peaches gets squashed beyond belief. We hit a dead end and dyl daddy gets all pissed off and we get out and walk for waaaay to long looking for the gathering then we turn around and drive back only to find the sign again that actually says emergency danger. Hahaha. We cant find a flashlight and wind up crashing on the trail on the way in. By the time we get there the next mornin my lil baby niece is gone and I head to the coffeshop to see who I can see. Run into a friend and hit the beach and then the kitchen to help with supper preaparations. Its different every single one is different....
Oh yeah, my sister in law tells my worryer ma that she didn´t see me at the gathering and that Im with some guy they had never met and my ma gets allover the BC rainbow website worrying her head off looking for me. Cmon ma, Im a big girl now...really.

 

i have no clue what I do because CO will be my first gathering.

I've only been to one national, but it was a tremendously wonderful experience. To me, the whole key was WORKING HARD. Be prepared for 12-hour workdays, and working till it hurts BAD. I truly believe that the many good things that came my way came about mainly just cuz I worked my ass off, pushing myself hard at times.

That was 1999, and with the exception of moving, I've not had a week of such hard work since then.

It sounds trite to say "you only get out of it what you put into it," but rainbow seems to be the ultimate example of a place where that is true. Haul water for hours, and you won't have to worry about getting whatever bliss you dream of

 

Amen to that my brother! Not trite in the least, just truth...I call gatherings "karma in real-time"....

 

This was a perfect rainbow story! You know what I truly admire and love, love, love (besides your cool wings in your photo)?The laughter and enjoyment despite that many folks would be bitching like crazy over such an experience.

 

thanks wisdom ~hug~
The only thing that realy dissapointed me was not being able to hold hands with lil Haille Bop at her first gathering...

 

When I finally go, I will share the herbal goodness

 

"Karma in real time," LOL, that's great, best chuckle for me all night, thanks

 

this will be my first gathering and i can not hardly wait to come home thank you to everyone for all the kind info i think i,ll probably hook up with a kitchen i love to help out any way i can thanks again love u all

 

yeah an i know many a brother that looks out for just such things..

sad sad sad..

love n light..

 

Right on!! hippiehillbilly!!! youth is wasted on the young......??????

 

It really is sad...folks tryin' too hard to find their bliss never do...remember my earlier post...a gathering really is karma in real-time, seek not and it shall come if you put out the right vibes. But I hate the idea of anyone going to a gathering just hoping to get laid...yeesh. I mean, if you happen to hook up with someone, right on, best to both of y'all. All I'm sayin' is like hippiehillbilly, that to make that your sole goal's no good for soul, you know? It's kinda predatory like he said. Then again, who the heck am I to pontificate???

 

im not sayin that at all..

its just when one words things as such,, he makes himself look like a predator..

man to be young an dumb again..

but ,,..
i dunno..

its just sad,,..

 

Cook, Help out @ the Kitchen Serve main circle, keep peoples belly full=)

I don't see anyone from 4ums?.. Where did you guys go?

 

I'm sure you do brother, good lookin' feller like yerself...but my point was that as you age you'll appreciate the spiritualilty of the rainbow more than the ephemeral & corporeal aspect of it all. It's all good bro, just droppin' my opinion is all. Love & light at you.

 

I am not sure what I am ganna do when i first get there, THIS YEAR WILL BE MY FIRST GATHERING. I am going with my best friend, who has been going since she was about 8 with her grandma. I can't wait...!!!

The only thing is that I have to convince My mum that I will be okay... she thinks it will be dangerous because her friend said her daughter went and was drugged up and brainwashed which i dont believe. Sooo... If you have advice on what to tell my mum... just PM me.

 

my first gathering in 97 we got there in the middle of the night and pitched a tarp and headed toward the drums. it took two more days for me and the one kid i found again in the morning to find our camp.my freind was so spun he asked everyone we met where his camp was. on the long walk when the sun rose. i seen two people makin love in the grass somewhere near fairy camp most beautiful thing 've ever seen in my life.
i guess it all just depends on how you look at lovemaking. i personnally have only hooked up with anybody this year. it's not a major goal. i feel that running around constantly searching for ..."whatever your looking for" is going to waste al ot of time and distract a person from deeper experiences.
sex isn't always one person taking advantage of another, though in babylon sexuality has been defined as this huge sinful thing that ends up in pain. generally speaking.

though performed properly. sex can be a wondrful communion with another individual (or several) and possibly with the creator itself.
lotsa folks are uptight about sexuality because of upbringing or whatever. i think it's easier to hook up at gatrhering because the constant fear of rejection that is present in some form throughout the babylon, is not at gatherings the envirement itself is very
affirming for the individual. though if you just arrive at nationals drop your shit. and start humping. there may be alot you miss out on, but a lot you won't

how different is a sexual encounter, full of love and rythem both driving towards mutual exctacyand fullfillment. . and playing those drums. kinda the same concept different methods.
can't wait to do both, though not at the same time,

lovein ya family, see you this summer.
besides i dont slut around at gatherings. that's what festies are for.

peaceandlove
