I got this off of the Colorada Rainbow Message Board:

Hey Family,
Thanks to everyone for making this Gathering so great. Here are
some rumors we were spreading at the Gathering:
Healthy men and women were everywhere, carrying supplies, digging
super shitters, gathering firewood, cooking awesome meals.
There were about 22 million hugs exchanged.
The Dating Game Show at Granola Funk was hilarious. How do they
think up those questions?
The Variety Show on the evening of the 4th was huge. The
violenist from Czech Republic was amazing. Dave was, as usual,
amazing.
I presented awards to some of the deserving at the Variety Show on
the 4th:
Here's some of the Awards handed out:

1. Rodney King Award ("Can't We All Just Get Along.") went to:

We had a blast and a million laughs. We prayed on the 4th and a
hologram of the secret leader appeared above the peace pole. A hawk
flew in circles around our silent circle and we ommmmmmmmmed and
ommmmmmmmmed a long long time. The children's parade came into the
circle from each end and it was so so beautiful.
The usual suspects are suspected of creating excellent
meals. There was food in abundance; lots of hammocks and we were
practicing safe swinging. The mixed hardwood forest had lots of elm,
sweetgum, maple, red cedar. A lot of our firewood came from the red
cedar. The shuttle drivers were always fun, funny, helpful. Vermin
was, as usual, Supreme.
Some folks were swimming in an ocean of calomine lotion due to
poison ivy. We need to invent little tiny condoms for chiggars
because there were far too many hungry chiggar babies. The swimming
was spectacular. The Purple Gang's brunch on the 5th was
unbelievable!! Five gallons of mimosa were premade; the nori rolls
were the best I've ever eaten; the baked apples, baked potatoes, the
two varieties of stir fry, the fruit, it was just awesome!!
Now mind you, I didn't get around much but from my office job at
Info, everyone was having a great time. The map this year is a topo
map so folks to label the camps themselves and learn to read a topo
map.
No one could make this stuff up: there was lots of love
everywhere
-- I had the time of my life!!
Your pal for pink peace,
