Church of the Good Earth 1963 and Beyond

I'm glad your going to to make it Zev, I hope many Good Earthers are able to get to Goodstock.. I'm sure more will be going from where you are and perhaps you could pool together and rent a van or something.. I still trying to figuar out how I'm getting there with my family.
have you printed off any flyers Zev.. You are in the music biz and frequent clubs and hang with other artist dontcha.. that would be a great place to start handing out or tacking up some flyers
Maybe get some interested folks in group and rent an rv or start a ride share.. if everyone pitches in perhaps you can get a caravan going.. how fun would that be... like an old timey wagon train going to the promise land

Zev and you applied to be a volunteer.. volunteers get two free pass's to GS, a campsite meals/beverages, t-shirt, a cd, and other memorabilia.. I believe you have to do 3, four hours shifts and the rest of the time is yours to enjoy the festival. I bet you could trade a pass for a ride if you want to go that route.

Anyway I am looking forward to seeing you again.

sending all the goodness I can muster Chis, we are getting so many bands we are tentively looking into two stages if the inflow of bands continue.

I send Larry Blessings every day We're taking out a banner in Hip Forums sometimes in the next couple of days .. I know it will generate ticket sales.

We really don't need spam on this forum. Please don't post again.

 

Thank you MC for the delete, I have been occupied with my grandchildren the last few days and didn't catch it.

thanks Zev ..

I hope everyone is doing well.. I just got a very nice email from Mouseman. I mean it was nice to hear from him, but it seems that Woodpecker has been siezed and is no longer in the Family.

Mouseman is ok and has great plans with his and his wife's new adventure in Organic Kettle Corn. They are still involved in the Oregon Counrty Fair and wont be able to attend Goodstock as they are too close together, he has been doing security for OCF for over 30 yrs He sends his love to all the beautiful people.

Bright Blessing to him and his family and all here

Wrote Larry about volunteering (possibly emceeing - with a little bit of humour) but haven't heard back. He had mentiond something about leaving tickets for me at the gate. If you talk to him see if you can clear it up.

I'm glad Mouse is doing well (and sad h won't get to Goodstock) he was/is one of my favorite people in the family.

Finally I must say that the thought of you being a grandma blows my mind.
Peace and Love
Zev/Zih-ave

 

The tickets are are compliments from Nailcakes bc you are family.. don't worry we will have stuff for you to do.. I believe Artie Kornfeld will be MCing the event but perhaps you'll be needed on the yelo sub stages.

Larry hasn't gotten to the volunteers yet. He is still going over contracts for the bands. A most teadious undertaking and probably the hardest to come to terms with or should I say meet the terms.. good grief.. I sure don't envy Larry's job.

Bright Blessings

 

Cakes;
Remind Larry that I am an attorney and that if he needs help with the contracts to give me a holler. You have, and I think Larry does too, my contact info.

Will do Zev,

Cakes, who is this Larry? Is that Rock & "Roll Star Larry" who left the Haight for Sasalito? PM/Yahoo me hun. I have very limited access to the web lately, but I'll try to get here more often. *HUGS*

Cakes

 

Hi Cakes was in Hospital for a while so was interuppeted on getting bids out to Companys for a few days. Back on it starting today. Larry also had a brush with disaster but is OK so I think that means something!!

Cakes I heard about the Woodpecker thing while back and it is indeed a drag. I am sending as many good vibes as I can to try to counter the negative vibes that is being thrown around. Such bs makes me feel like J.Edgar HOOVER is trying to come back to life!!!! Our love goes out to any/all effected.

I was wondering about the Orygun CF and the close timing to GS. Every year I hear back that many get to the Fair. All have a great time. Mouse and the other folks who have been doing the Security for the Fair have been one of the many reasons for the success of the Fair! It is such a big event now and the old Hoe Dads(and the different Crews from around the state) who have been part of the Fair Family for all this time now will indeed be very busy with the Fair. It is a very LARGE event. No Ti (sp) becomes a Big Town during the Fair week! Without the GREAT efforts by all involved it would not work!!

I saw (your post I think) asking where are all the Bros and Sisters that maybe could help out for GS. I think MANY may be involved with the Fair. Or attend to see old friends and family. That may be why a lot of the west Coasters are unable to make it to GS.

Before GS popped up I was going to try to get up to the Fair myself this year as it has been so so long (to long) since I have seen a lot of folks. The Fair is a great gathering every year. Many of the folks from many different flos/familys are at the Fair.. or come to it!

I wish them all a TRULY GREAT FAIR!

peace/love

Hi Chris,
Sorry to hear you have not been well.. I hope you feels betta now Yea Mouse man is doing the Kettle Corn thing at the OCF.. him and Heather are very excited about it too.. I do wish them the best..

On another note a sadder note.. We lost Taurus Barbra to Hep-C.. Barbra was a famous writer and a good earth sister. She had been battling hep-C for many years.. she had two liver transplants and rejected the first on.. the second one took but the Hep_C came back and ate it up.. Bless Her Heart she suffered terribly.. She is at peace now resting gently in the arms of Creator.

Chris;
When and where is that fair in Oregon. I've been on the East Coast for so long I lost all info. Thanx,
ZEV aka Zih-ave

 

SO SO sad to read about TB. DAM DAM hep C a killer of many now. Wasn't one of her works the Photo book "TELEGRAPH at night"?? I could be confused about that but I remember that book as there were a few pics of some of my partners at the time in it. NON of me though and I would not allow any pics of me to be taken lol....An old Superstition on my part. It cronacolized (PLEAZE FOR GIVE MY BAD SPELLING) a bit of the NIGHT scene near the end of of that era of some "street hanging" around the Hill on Telegraph In Berzerkely? Early 70s as I recall???. No matter TB will be missed. BUT TB will always be remembered forever in her works and in the minds and hearts of many!!!

Wizev.. The Fair is located outside of EUGUENE Orygun actually very close if not in the small township of NO TI ORYGUN . I think the First or second weekend of August BUT CHECK that as it has been 20 pluss years since my last OCF. It has been going on now for so many years. As I recall the DEAD kicked off the First OCF. KK a lot of folks from The Creamery in Springfield used to come all the time too. AND MANY OTHERS. LOTS of Vendors of NEW AGE, Alt EnERGY, GREEN IDEAS, FOOD FOOD FOOD. familys singles and KIDS GALORE! A VERY GOOD TIME!!

My LAST FAIR was when the DEAD came back for what I think was the 10th or the (5th lol memory burp!) anaversary of the Fair. I was with Homegrown Reforestation at the time(one of the Hoe Dad Tree Planting Co-op groups) who were spread through out the state but Euguene was the headquaters for the DADS! The Hoe Dads and friends had been doing the Security for the Fair back then too. As I recall we used to Get a Tee Shirt and camp site and a few other perks for our work shifts. It was a GREAT THING!! I was actually working the Stage security with Sheila my wife, Terry L, and others that year. It was great as we had a yurt that we stayed in by the stage. My Bus was used by the WAHS, l think it may have been GregWahs last fair. Buddy and probally Tubbie too used my Bus that year and it was parked with others busses at one of the prime Camp sites. It was a very fun FAIR. With the Dead and others playing over the weekend (Robert Cray also) and with KKs Brother trying to pick up Sheila all weekend it was a hoot and hollerin good time!

The OCF is Incorporated now (I THINK) and they have bought the land where the annual fair is at. There is a little (very little Creek the LONG TOM as I recall??)creek running through the Site and one of the BIG TIME events is the MIDNIGHT Circus. The OCF is a very very cool event and I think that it may be the best place to catch up with a bunch of old Family and Flos who are around. VERY FANTASTIC.

Mouseman and some of the others have really become part and parcel of the success of the event I am told!..

They may have a web site??????

Cakes I am going through some BS on the health side a reocurrance of some issues but I will make it pass!! lol I ain't dead yet!!

peace/love
