hey- If you come over to england, come play at glastonbury- the food etc. is great and the people around here are all really friendly towards hippys
DEFINATLY have fluid rouge play. you know what would be great? instead of having a whole PA system, let's have everyone that owns an amplifier with a wattage rating over 100 watts to bring it. then, wwe can hook em all up together. keithsweezy
I would love to play!!! I opened for Dr. Hook (the guy who sings Cover of The Rolling Stone) and I gig around locally every weekend. You know what. Maybe all the possible musicians should send in a bit of what they do to whoever would be in charge of that aspect of it just so that we have a bit of insight into what to expect. You know who else would probably be into this is SitarEric. This is a great idea ya know.
i would love to be a part of the peace fest, and i would do anything/volunteer for anything concerning the peace fest. id have to travel with alice d. millionaires band tho...lol but i could definately start advertising as early as tomorrow around where i live. if its for peace ill do anything. instead of going against all drugs, why not just go against the ones that will really fuck you up, and the drugs that are "safe", we speak out for them. just an idea
soulrebel, i know what you're trying to say, but we aren't going to advertise "HEY BRING YOUR HERB! WE SMOKE TOO!" I mean, how stupid would that be? To each his own I say, if someone wants to bring drugs, they're going to, we wont be able to stop them. we will deffinatly be supporting no drugs though. hope this makes since to you Peace Fest Forums
i wasnt trying to say "bring you herb we smoke too", i was kinda going for telling people about the dangers of doing drugs, but letting them know that marijuana is the safest drug around, not like their teachers told them. the only problem with weed is the smoke, but any kind of smoke will give you cancer and people need to know that. i hate getting lectured by a teacher about the dangers of marijuana smoke when they themself smoke cigarettes, which are possibly the most dangerous/stupidest thing you could do to your body
If heat and dehydration is a problem (not just in the south, but everywhere it would be hot), we should set up a few tents with Air Conditioning and Drinks. I would also love to play, I have a band. And I'd love to play some original songs.
i'd be happy to be in charge of music if this gets rolling. we should have cities designated as leaders. you know, have like chapel hill be music(my town). or perhaps even whole states. the idea is to get a group of people (not just one person) to take care of a topic, and if it's designated by city, then these leaders can meet together. just an idea how's about everyone post their AIM sn on here... if you don't have it, get it . that way, we can post a time that we can all meet in a chatroom and talk. i'd like to point out the RIDICULOUS price of water nowadays. so it will be hard to do water unless we sell it. but we can't have crazily inflated prices. also, the airconditioned tents is a great idea, except... WHERE DO WE GET POWER FOR ALL THIS!!! generators? i doubt they'l be able to power hundereds of watts and power to the amps. they would work fine for tents though. i think this shouldn't be a traveling thing. it would cost too much money. also, we would have a higher attendence rating if it's only one place for like a week/weekend. trust me, people will travel for peace fest. oh yeah, and we don't need to be advertising yet... we don't even have a place to do it! peace, keith sweezy (BTW... my screen name is shadyguitarplyer. message me people.)
I think designating groups to certain topics is a great idea, and it will probably be much easier to accomplish things that way. It would be easy to do within cities, but cities may not be a large enough.. States would probably be too large though... Anyone have any more suggestions on this? Oh yea, my AIM screename is happyfreak06
well.. cuz it's used by most people and i'm on my mom's computer and i can't install anything, so... i'm using AIM through their quickbuddy service... (which you could probably use too)
Okay.....So I'm just going to jot down real quick what I think the control topics should be....You know, like, the topics that certain people are going to work under....Tell me if I miss anything. Also, pretty much everyone has to work together at some point, the different areas and all that....BUT, only on a few aspects of ever topic. I also think there should be a team leader for every topic so that team leaders could converse with eachother on all plans, problems, etc. 1)Event location planning: Put together a list of requirements for the event location, such as, how many people expected vs. acres/square feet; type of terrain vs. health/sanitation/security/weather problems; location vs. relevancy to the event itself.....does a certain location have a spiritual/historical meaning?... All those kinds of things. It's alot of work...Lol. 2)Sanitation/Food/Water: That's self explanatory. 3)Music/soundstage/etc.: We're certainly shooting for a certain type of music....SO, I think that whoever posted that idea about sending samples of the music and going over what can be expected/choosing who should be there, had a great idea. 4)Campsite manager: How many people vs. size of campsite...any pricing information...rules on campfires/booze/etc. (work w/ security on that one). The rest is self-explanatory. 5)Product Vendor Mangagement: Once again.....Self-Explanatory. 6)Security: People who would be in charge of getting security information regarding the regulations of this kind of event....also, after attaining the said information, they could be the Peace Fest "Anti-Police" Security....not as a title, but in theoretical terms. You know what I mean, I hope.....Anyway....Also,in charge of basic rules for overall conduct. 7)This one is a maybe..... But a team of people who have other assignments as well, who could travel around and pick up the volunteers a couple days before the show until a couple days after for set-up/clean-up, etc. 8)Advertisement management....Ofcourse, EVERYONE will advertise but there should be a plan for when to release certain aspects of the Peace Fest details and how to go about it. Also, where the areas of advertisement should be...A main "logo" or "symbol" specifically designed for Peace Fest to be used and manipulated on all posters.......etc. 9)Volunteers to be placed where needed the most. Okay.....that's all I've got for now. I hope I helped in someway. Peace, love, and freedom.
i dont want real police as our security...they can be too controlling at times. We need signs/posters/flyers to be hand made or printed out and distributed to people and maybe the media. We also should decide early on about a set date, length of the festival, and location.
That is great, shadowofthesun! I posted it over on the peace fest forums. If anyone isn't over there already, come! http://peacefest2005.proboards27.com/index.cgi
I think that policemen are something that we are just going to have to deal with. I believe there is a law stating that they need to be at all events such as that. No? Especially an event with a large amount of people. Okay, I'm going to start posting in the "Peace Fest 2005 site/forum" instead of this one now...I think everyone else should, too. Should I copy paste my last post in there though? Shit....I'm going to. Peace,love, Freedom.
the rainbow gathering.........lots of people volunteer their time for this and it's all free. money really isn't accepted there, it's just trade that works. i'm sure someone else has been to a rainbow gathering and knows what i'm talking about. what i'm saying is study how that's done...............it's been going on for years and is successful every year. there's no fee for camping, food, anything. i don't know where i'm going with this...............i just thought of the rainbow gathering when i saw this thread. peace
