My name is Eric. I was pointed in the direction of this VERY COOL PLACE by Psych-Head Rob over at the JEFFERSON AIRPLANE Forum where I like to hang out... I was born in November 1967-- too late to really dig the "summer of LOVE", or Woodstock, or anything great like that... But nevertheless, I have been an unreconstructed hippie psychedelic punk-rocker all of my teenage / adult life. I love to write and draw and fight AGAINST war and FOR the rights of the oppressed. I stopped eating the flesh of dead animals in 1983 as a sophomore in High School, age 15, after reading "ANIMAL LIBERATION" by Peter Singer and "MAN KIND?" by Cleveland Amory... And also due to listening to the messages contained in the music of anarchist "peace-punk" bands CRASS, CONFLICT, RUDIMENTARY PENI and M.D.C.... I love the music of JIMI HENDRIX, BEATLES, GRATEFUL DEAD, BUTTHOLE SURFERS, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE (of course)... Others too many to mention... As well as deep "roots" reggae inna dub style... Plus soul, jazz, blues, classic rock, rhythm & blues, real-deal punk rock-- ANYTHING with a heartbeat and sincere emotional sentiment, really... I went to my first RAINBOW FAMILY Gathering in 1988 and, for the first time in my whole life, felt like I had finally found the place where I belonged... Now I am on a computer trying to communicate with like-minded souls and it feels kinda like I belong here, too... Even though I just moments ago found out about this place and registered. Just wanted to say "Hello"... I will be around... PEACE & LOVE -- E.
88 was what notrth carolina was my 1st, 86 or 87 but i cannot remember where 88 was or if i was there maybe, i guestimate that been to maybe 40 these past 20 years, was that texas or wyoming? if so i missed em idaho was 89 ewasnt it? or was that 90 something... lost in time well if i met u somewhere along the rainbow trail its good to see u brother, if not, good to meet ya here loving you
Thank you to all of my wonderful new friends who have replied to my initial introduction!!! I LOVE this place!!! 1988 was TEXAS (my home state)... I have also been to 1991 Vermont, 1992 Colorado, and 1993 Sweet Home Alabama... Alas! That was my last RAINBOW FAMILY Gathering before years of heroin-addiction took their ravaging toll on me... But NOW I am BACK!!! "Clean" of hard drugs and HAPPY to be ALIVE!!! And VERY HAPPY to be here!!! THANK YOU my beautiful brothers and sisters!!! PEACE & LOVE -- Eric.
