Hip Forums Campout at the Rainbow Gathering

[m6m]

INVITATION to all of us here to join together at the '4ums' kitchen camfire scene at his year's Rainbow Gathering of the Tribes.

Most of us only know each other from these Forums here in Cyberspace.

Well, dozens of us from these Forums will be at this year's Gathering, and now we can know each other by sharing this total tribal experience together.

Sharing a kitchen campfire scene, as many of you already know, helps to make our Rainbow experience even more real.

This year's Gathering will be somewhere in the Great Basin Region. We won't know exactly where till the Spring Council around the second week of June.

I'll get there on the 14th or 15th of June to begin set-up. I'll stay till the 10th of July for clean-up.

So bring yourself, your friends, your family, your passions, and let's connect.

And, if you have any kitchen supplies and/or bulk food, bring them for sure. The more supplies we have, the more of us we can feed.

I'll post a separate thread, listing useful kitchen supplies and/or bulk food, here at the Rainbow Family Forum tomorrow.

See ya 'on the bus'

Jessica

[bradleydontpush]

I'll for sure see you all there!
Much love!

[m6m]

Hi Sexydreads,

Thanks for reminding me, I'll try to put together a sign.

And yeh, bring on those herbs and spices, many thanks!

[monosphere]

There's a possibility that I'll be arriving late. Is there anything that a latecomer should bring? something you might expect to run out of partway through the week?

[makno]

if anyons drivin out from the south let me know !

[m6m]

Hi Monosphere,


Fruit and Vegies will probably be in short supply.

[SexyDreads]

Items good for late comers!

Fruits and Veggies,
Fresh Water,
Camping Suds,
Batteries perhaps,...

All things I was short on last year!

[xmissionx]

Hey, what kind of batteries do you need? Because I can hook you up with that. Just tell me what kind and I'll bring ya some. :)

rainbow or bust!

[SexyDreads]

Double A's mostly, but C's will work also. Maybe some D's as well. Hehehe!


(I feel like Im talking about boobie sizes!) >giggles<

Peace,
Jessica

RAINBOW OR BUST!! Yeah!

[interval_illusion]

man i soooooo wish i could go but i dont have much cash and all that.....

MAN! i want to go so bad. sooo bad...

errrrrrrrr im gonna try.

[rainbowrandolph]

sounds like it would be fun, i am so excited for another gathering. Peace out all you strangers.

[MamaTheLama]

Ahem..the Grateful Dead will be in the Bay Area (near san francisco)
from about june 22 to 27th.

Would anyone with kids consider sharing the cost of a hotel room for a coupla nights to be in town for the shows? Or anyone with a bus let us crash? (not at the gathering) :) We don't take up much space.

I'm not going for the rainbow, can't stand camping..but oh mannnn The Dead!

[Edward G.]

I'll be staying in Bellingham, Washington this summer.... I dunno if my aunt/counsin'd let me go (prolly would I guess), but someone pick me up! *hinthint* ;) :D

[WanderingturnupII]

AAA, AA, and D. Towards clean up, everybody's D-cell flashlights get awful dim, and we figure "D" stands for "Dead". 2-way radios, pieces of emergency equipment lots of folks treat like toys, eat up the AAA and AA by the hundreds. But, you can use spent radio batts to run your AAA or AA flashlight for a while...it takes a lot less electrons to light up a bulb than it does to transmit a message.

[bradleydontpush]

hey, can't wait to actually meet everyone there, but the thing is I haven't really made many friends here in the family of light forum. I figured people would reply to my stuff and give me some encouragement, m6m has (thank ya brotha) but just kinda hoping to feel welcome at the 4ums campfire scene. I've never been to gathering before, (been a hermit for 21 years)

[BobbinBecca]

Well, then let me say....

((((((((bradleydontpush))))))))))))

There's a big hig heart to heart hug with a constant drummin in the background tummies rumblin for some rice and beans and feet dancing without the need to walk, walking without a care, full and spilling over from al the hugs we've had before.........
But coming home isn't about whether or not people want you there, it's about the Spirit wanting you there, and you wanting to be there badly enough that you pack your bag, shut down the puter and hit the road...

And I think m6m, pheemale? I guess I'm not sure

But hey, bradley, it looks like I am taking big hunka burning van again this year outta Utah if you can hitch up here and have ga$ help you're there, PM me...

Beee:eek:

[squawkers7]

Is there any Rainbow type gatherings in the Fall?
squawkers7@yahoo.com

[bradleydontpush]

oops, didn't know m6m was female. I never know on here. Well that would be really nice if we could meet up. I really want to go this year, but really don't know if I can get time off.

[WanderingturnupII]

And I think m6m, pheemale? I guess I'm not sure

Beee:eek:
I don't believe m6m has revealed her/his gender, but I was assuming male, mostly because, in my experience, most, though not all, kitchen focalizers seem to be male. Harmony of the Diva Diner is a prominent exception that comes readily to my mind. Why do you say female?

[bradleydontpush]

I wasn't really sure either, I just assumed male. I'm really excited about meeting everyone there. Even though none of us have really grown close in any way, I'm sure it will come at the gathering. Me and Paix have had alot of good conversations though. Well hope in some moment, somewhere in the future I see all of your beautiful faces . Then we could all teach each other so much good stuff.

[monosphere]

hey, can't wait to actually meet everyone there, but the thing is I haven't really made many friends here in the family of light forum. I figured people would reply to my stuff and give me some encouragement,


If it makes you feel any better, the first time I went to Rainbow, I didn't know anybody there. Not only did I make some cool friends, but I also found shelter and a feeling of home there with people that I had only known for a few hours. You have an advantage as you are familiar with a few user ID's and will be able to associate them with faces at the gathering. You'll have more of a familiarity with folks than I did my first time going. Is this the encouragement you needed? If not, then how about if I kick your butt if you DON'T attend?:p

[HersheDog_BananaCat]

I am pretty lost on here too as to whos what sex.. ???.. Do any of you have pictures online....

[HersheDog_BananaCat]

A sign a made for the kitchen.. it dosen't looks so nice its only my second time wood burning but it was sure fun making it. =)

[BobbinBecca]

I think why I thought m6m was femeale is because there was one of those hippie heads under the name in the old forums, I know I came away with the impression of femalieness, but I don't know! Maybe m6m will tell us but more likely will say, "you'll have to come to see" and relish in mystery. Dang. Yeah, pictures would be helpful, I posted mine it's somewhere deep in the picture forum.
Anyway, i'm certainly not helping my cause that gender is mutable!!
Loveya
Bee

[m6m]

Thanks Zenia,

Ohh your hand made sign is just too righteous. Your flowering vine adds that certain touch.

[HersheDog_BananaCat]

Thanks M6M=)
And Bee I saw your pic.. cutest little baby boy!
My pics are in the Pic forums aswell..
See everyone soon
Love
Zenia

[WanderingturnupII]

Zenia, Bee, I searched the galleries by username for both your pics, and found nothing. Zenia, I had come across your photo before, and thought to myself, "How did I miss that cutie at Ocala?? Do I need glasses that badly??" But I can't find it now...

[m6m]

Start getting ready!
I'm going early so I can start putting together the kitchen structure and filtered water system.
But, if we want to eat together, we need to bring FOOD! Lots of FOOD!
I'll have a storage/supply tent set up.

[StoneYFreaK]

you know i'll drop in....my favorite summer past time and my favorite waste of time mixed into one...

i'd bring some supplies but me and my girlfriend only have enough room for our supplies...but i'll see what i can do.

hope to see alot of you there.

someone should bring a big piece of construction paper or something so everyone can sign their forum names on it or write a little message or something of the sort.

[Smokinjoe]

illo be there although i may not be bcak on here for a while cause im selling my computer to go. but i just loved the gathering in michigan 03 it was the best experince of my life and probally will be a long time, bringin a friend thats never really been to one. cant ewait to see you all there

[newo]

I just got my schedule at my new job, I'll have Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays off: and on July 4th weekend we'll have Monday off. I've applied to have Saturday the 3rd off, and everything depends on whether or not it gets approved. I should know sometime next week, keep your fingers crossed for me!

[Professor Jumbo]

Are any of yuns guys going to be in Reno Nevada on the 25th o' June?

[m6m]

Hi Prof,

What's the bus number and the time of arrival. I don't think that I personally will be going down to Reno, but I can try to find someone who is heading into Reno on that day.

Otherwise, when you do get to the Gathering, you can find us by looking for the '4ums' banner. It's mustard color with burnt red lettering.
Your's, michael (m6m)

[Professor Jumbo]

I get into Reno on the schedule 1315 bus at 6:35 am June 25th

[m6m]

Got it Prof.

I'm leaving for the Gathering today.
So I'll try to get something together from that end.
It would be wise, however, not to depend on it.
Reno looks to be about 100mi away.
But I promise I will try.

[newo]

Can't make it, couldn't get Saturday off, so everyone take lots of pictures and post them when you get back!

[Applespark]

I stopped by the forum kitchen on friday night.

[tikoo]

so tickled to have met you ranbO! at the top
of the world in de om

a~

[Applespark]

I refound this thread just remembering the fun I had...haha..I have my own 4ums story. I hadnt seen the 4ums tent yet. I had walked around a lot by then but it got to nightfall and the blackness set in and the stars were out and Id lost the peopel I was with ..I ate a small amount of shrooms and it started to trip me out as I wandered around in the dark past all the things going on and there was teh 4ums area but I wasn't ready to just go up and talk to a bunch of strangers from online so I sat inside the tented area and watched the "cooks" running the 4ums kitchen laugh and crack jokes.

[measa420]

i will role through sometime and check

it out and to say hey to everyone

[Daniel4-2-0]

I would be honored to meet all my fellow brothers and sisters at the Gathering of the Tribes... I can't wait!! I will bring bulk food stuff as well as camping suds.. :)

Loving You!

Daniel

[newo]

This year's gathering is supposed to be on the opposite coast, in the mid-atlantic region. Shit. I know I can get time off from work this year but it's too damn far.

[Crystaleyez]

ohboyohboyohboyohboy. That settles it. Time to check out Nationals. I'll bring knives, those always seem to be in short supply. Food too. Foods good. I can only come for like week I think. I'll prolly be hangin with some popcorn kitchen friends of mine, and I'll def come and do some chopping in the 4ums kitchen. Thats so cool. Theres pics of me in my gallery and theres better pics of me in the mexcio pics thread I posted. See ya'll real soon!

[sodabandito]

[Applespark]

[Daniel4-2-0]

Loving you

Daniel

[Amanda's Shadow]

Im gonna try to come!

[Quest_techie]

Nvm :(

[WanderingturnupII]

....What was that, Becca? Did I hear you say "4Ums Lounge @ Magic Bowl?" I mean, since I don't think anyone's planning a 4ums kitchen for WV.

I can probably be found at Tea Time, or Katuah when the horns get too annoying, or, as allways, you can see me on the radio.

[hippiehillbilly]

if we make it(and we are plannin on it) katuah an tea time will be where we at as well,, lookin forward to seein ya again brother,, tell luke ill make sure i have a pack of white owls for him for the ones i bummed. ;)
