not really sure, just wanted to say hay cause I just moved up to lynden and i go to rainbow things every now and then.
I live in the Seattle area, and I also can't find rainbow events in this "cool" town. Where is Lyndon? Lovin ya. Cheshirecat
Hi there!!! I was just called by the NorthWest Lightline, and Marken (his name) told me that a few years ago the family was really going strong, but it has dissappeared. He doesn't know what happened. I volunteered my home to hold some potlucks. Please let me know if you are interested. I am going to put up flyers near the University talking about the potluck, and my place can hold more than 25 people. Maybe the rest of you in WA. can volunteer your place for one, and we can have meetings, and possibly start a new family. Sounds good to me. I was very depressed when he told me about the WA. family, so I'm going to try my best to make it better. Please, if you are in the area, Bellingham, Bellvue, Snomish, anywhere, please get involved so that we can be enveloped by the love we know of as Rainbow. If you have suggestions, I'm open to all. Thanks, and I'm lovin all of you tonight. Peace, love, and nonstop giggles, CheshireCat
Onward and Upward! I seem to recall something about the Love Isreal family and when they vanished similare people seem to also. well that said... I Dont have a suitable place to host aside from maybe a park in Everett. ^_^ But I'm more than willing to help get things started. Heck! I'll do the dishes if we can rig somethin up here ^_^
I've only been to Bellingham once--but wow, what a cool city! I want to make it back up there soon. Good luck with getting things started!
Lynden is about 5 miles south of the border, a little to the east of bham. However, I am trying to get a little apartment or something in downtown Bham in the next few months, if I can get a job. And yea it is a cool little hippie college town(or should i say city), much cooler than Lynden.
i used to live in bellingham, seattle, issaquah, bellevue and renton, theres some family in the area... north bend i'm told
The GodFather is also my favorite film of all time. You NEED to see Midnight Cowboy. It comes in a very close second to GF. Anyway, where is this "family" that you know of in the bend? I'm gettin really desperate here, as only one person has said they would try to start some new rainbow activities, and I really don't know how serious he actually is. It is always nice to have good intentions, but it's better when you follow through, know what I'm sayin? I even put an ad in The Stranger. What is wrong with this place? California now seems like total heaven compared to here. Again, I am very willing to get some events started with some help. A park in the winter won't do it. I used to go to two potlucks a week, plus all regional and national gatherings. Boo hoo. Bye, the way, you are an incredible artist, but Keanu Reeves is one of the all time WORST actors in the universe. I was accepted at Julliard and won all kinds of acting awards, so I have watched him carefully in everything he does, and it is the same character in all his films, just with a different name. He was embarrasing in Dangerous Liasons. Sorry, you love him, but he realy sucks. Even talking to him in person (which I have) is not a picnic either. But, I was much more interested in River Pheonix at the time. I really miss him. Well, I hope you get back to me, and have a great day! CheshireCat
RiverFarm between Bellingham and Mt. Vernon used to have an annual Herb-Festival. Skinny-dipping in the creek, drum-circles, live-music, all week-end. I wonder if that's still happening?
heh yeah, you damn near ran me out of minuets on my phone. my suggestion for the moment is find some reef, take a hit, and dont stress so much about finding "family". The Gods shall send them in due time. and I'm plenty serious. You must realize that I also have bills to pay and no job. thus making it very difficult for me to follow through on gathering plans. so, heres to meet and greets! and no worries of cash.
Hey there Bob, Marken has called me with at least 25 people wanting to start some form of family, so I am taking the initiative and am going to be hosting a potluck very soon. You wrote that you will do dishes, I will hold you to that. And finding some "reef", taking a toke and waiting for the "Gods" to smile upon all of us waiting is not an option when you are someone who "likes" to get things happening. And the rest of us have to work too. Did you think we were all independently wealthy? I've only met about five family members (in Florida) that actually were trust fund babies. And they still were the most giving wonderful people. Take the anger and sarcasm out of your messages there Bob, it doesn't do anyone any good, and it shows how really rainbow inexperienced you are. But don't fret. If we all can get together, we really can be an incredible, loving "family" force. I really hope to see you at the potluck that I will be hosting. We can get those in hiding to come out too hopefully. So, I will put out the Welcome Home olive branch, and see where it will get us. Do you have any suggestions? Lovin ya even though you are an angry person, leave that at home before coming to any rainbow event, please. Maybe you should relax on the "tokes" and think of some way to get things moving. Exactly how many rainbow gatherings have you been to? I didn't think you ever had been to one. I have been to MANY, many..... that is why I am so into getting this thing going. I understand just sitting and waiting for it to come to you if you never knew what you are missing. I do,and I am willing to really do something to revive what has been lost here. Thanks for your input, but how about some positive messages about how we can all do something, our own little part, like at a gathering, to see that this works out. No bliss bunnies, please. We need those who are willing to take part, not just sit and watch and just "toke". That is fine too, but the work to get it going comes before relaxing and having fun. We want POSITIVE Energy, drums, guitars, any music making thing, and FOOD. Probably vegetarian, as I have never been to a potluck where they had meat, except for "Cowboy Kitchen". Please, if you live ANYWHERE around the Seattle area, please call the N.W. lightline for Marken for info. And please, feel free to bring babies and children, they are most welcome. I , and I am surmising most folks interested in these types of events will be very helpful in getting this started and keeping it going. I am very excited about even the notion. Lovin all of you in Washington State looking for the rainbow..... Cheshire Cat
Hi chesh. I think the hostility you're reading in my post there is in your head. maybe I need to post more smiley faces in my posts so others can see the happy expression on my face when I'm posting
cheshire, i know marken, & hes a really good one to talk to to help guide ya in the right direction towards reviving the local family i think i'm going to start a simular thread for my area since our potlucks have dwindled as well tell marken soaring eagle says hey bro..& i'll be happy to help at info in colorado..unless 1 of my fave kitchens needs me
Hey brother, I was so glad to have some input from you a few months ago. You have golden intelligence. I will try and do everything that is possible to make this thing work, regardless of any fear or such going through my head. One weekly potluck I used to attend stated to bring people that nobody knew, that just came for free food and other party favors. That is cool, but they left very quickly without EVER helping clear up the outside and kitchen. We had to shut down for a couple of months, then change the potluck to a different night. But, that's the chance ya take to stay connected and thrive as a kitchen when the gathering finally comes. We should think of some names for our kitchen and family. All suggestions will be taken seriously. P.S. Hi Bob, I just want you to know that I have NO hostility toward you or anyone else, except the President. I am looking forward to meeting you, and I hope you don't stay away because you believe I am hostile. But when you start out with, "you nearly ran me out of phone minutes.." I felt that was a hostile statement. You NEVER have to worry about that again. Just bring some positive energy, gifts from the earth, etc. and all will be cool. I am really looking forward to this, and I hope all of you who called Marken about wanting some form of potluck or get together will come and enjoy. The only thing I don't really want is people bringing their dogs, since I have three cats. If you want to bring your dog, it will have to go out onto my backyard. But my yard is very big, and fenced in, so they won't have to be cramped. If you intend on bringing a dog, let me know, as we can have people bring some food for them as well. I will be setting up flourescent chalk and paints out back for those who want to show some of their more artistic side. The fence around my house makes for a very private meeting place. Please give me some suggestions so that we can ALL make these meetings fun and worthwhile. Lovin all of ya, and can't wait for all those hugs I've been missing. Cheshire Cat
