Can't go this year *thumbs down*

Maybe once Me or my hippy-in-partner get a means of transport in a year or 2.

 

yea i hope to be there just trying to find rides and stuff u kno

 

ill be glad to see all you there. The lions on the loose. Tell all youre friends. Make sure everyone you know is aware of this gathering. I LOVE YOU ALLLL!!!!!

 

im thinking i can make it. gonna ramble my way down from vegas

 

I went to my first at 16, not that it matters now. haha

 

hahah not really but how was it too u? did u go wit ur parent are just alone with friends

 

I went alone. It was in Michigan, and my friend Liz went with me on the train (she was 15), but she stayed with my friend in Wisconsin while I went. So I went to the gathering alone even if I traveled with a partner. I did however have someone there I knew well who had been before that I met up with once I was there.

It was wonderful, and I had no major issues. There was a creepy man who was sketchy as could be and straight up asked to sleep with me in the grass. I simply said no and left, though I did tell the people at info because he creeped me out pretty bad.

While that sounds like a huge deal, it wasn't overall. It was definitely leveled out by the other experiences I have.

My advice is just to know how to take care of yourself, and remember that is a place where you want to trust everyone; it does not mean that you can.

I helped build some cob solar showers, I met wonderful people, I had life changing experiences, and I wouldn't change it. I would have changed things about how I got there (police were called on me, I was reported as missing by my father), but I wouldn't change the experience. Have fun. Oh, if you help out, it will be returned to you too.

 

I hope to see you all there.

And Adaya that sounds like alot of fun. (Out side of the dude)

 

haha thats funny and freaky at the same time how many days did u stay what kind of things did u do there

 

I spent around two weeks there, but the last week or so there wasn't a lot of people left. It was clean up.

I oddly enough spent a lot of time alone. It was sort of an act of reflection for me. So your mileage may vary there, but I certainly enjoyed my solitude in a sea of people.

I had lots of fun though, with people. I enjoyed the drum circles, and the food (oh the food!!). Granola Funk was awesome (but maybe that was West Virginia....), hmm.. I ate mushrooms (hey, you asked), I met some really amazing people and I learned quite a bit about life.

 

sounds amazing just how i imagined i cant wait for this summer

 

moi!
me and a few friends are planning on attending and my sister. look for the kids with the dreads. haha

 

haha, have you been before? or are you joking a out looking for the kid with the dreads

 

or maybe this a cosmic joke about how we are all one?!

 

Lol, its a funny joke if it was one.

I hope I get to meet some of you.
