    This thread has been renamed. It originally was a discussion about the 40th Anniversary of the Summer of love, which is being held in SF on Sept 2. There is another thread about this... -Skip


    I've been hearing this rumor that a 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love is planned for the summer of 2007, centered somewhere in central Kansas, the center of the country, with regional celebrations in several other areas. Has anyone else heard this ?

    In todays world, one would have to have conciderable funding to bring about something of that size. Not only is money an issue but finding a Hippie Friendly place is not an easy task. Then there are travel expences for the bands, and BATHROOMS that have to be addressed, not to mention parking, insurance,medical, food/drink, permits, advertising, lodging, well.. you get my drift.

    Me and a few accociates are at this time are working on a Musical Peacefest that resonates with the 60s/70s Garage Bands that is to manifest in June 2007. We have been working to bring it together for Two years.

    I must say: Things are not as they were in that era. Money is tight and fuel is over the limit. Most of the bands have everyday jobs to support their families and do not have the spare cash for travel expences ect. Every location cost big money unless it's on private land, and then you have a problem with BATHROOMS, water and food. I express bathrooms bc at Woodstock there were none and food and water was scarce.. well it was a bittersweet experience.

    Goodstock 2007 Peacefest is a reunion in itself. With over 100 band from the 60s and 70s willing to play, Like Sky Saxton of the Seeds amongest other top preformers. As soon as the Location for Goodstock 2007 is secured we will run an advertising and promo campain with posters, raido and newpapers all over the country but not limited to the USA.

    For any sponsers willing to help support Goodstock 2007 Peacefest they may contact me in Instant Message.

    Brightest Blessings

    Shameless Heifer (I like that name)

    Why not try the center of the contiguous US which is near Lebanon, Smith Co., Kansas; Smith Co.is in northern Kansas on the Nebraska border. A central location would make it possible for more people to attend. This is a rural farming area, which you need. Feel it out, maybe you'ld find someone willing to rent the space as long as it was patrolled (make sure no one's causinfg problems) and cleaned up. No harm in looking into it.

    hi steve.. we take it where we can find it. We have a location, we are just waiting for the leagel stuff to go through and then we plan to release the location, date and who will be performing.
    I was hoping to get Denver but the had nothing to accomodate us for camping and vendors and everything was their way, no drinking, no camping, no this, no that.. and we need this and that, for crying out loud.

    If you know of a spot that is Hippie Friendly let me know, we are not against having a traveling Concert. We have three or four location we can travel to in a gypsy style.
    The first concert will be the last week of May or the first week of June 2007.

    QE..I will post when and where.. when the time is right.. stay tuned for future postings on Goodstock 2007 Peacefest.

    Brightest Blessings

    Yes Stoney, We do have a list but we have to wait to release them untill the contracts are signed. In case the band doesn't show for some reason and we advertised that they would be there we woudd be held lieble for false advertising so we must have these bands under contract before we proceed in releasing the Names. We are in that phase right now, getting papers signed, then the next step is advertising Goodstock 2007 Peacefest to the world.

    I am asking for sponsers.. if anyone is interested they can contact me here or Larry McClurg or even Earthmother, and we do have a tenative website that Larry McClurg from the Mind Garage Band, who's Idea this was in the first place has addded to his website @ www.mindgarage.com ... scroll down and find the Goodstock icon, click and read..
    Brightest Blessings

    Shameless,
    Why don't you pst a notice on the "Smoke Signals" section of the main page of Hipforums asking if anyone knows of a hippie friendly place where you can hold Goodstock. You can address all members of all forums there.

    I suppose I will Steve. Thank you very much sweetie for your input. I will be posting about Goodstock here and there as we progress. It's been a hard row to hoe finding a location to fit all our needs, but we can now move on to other facets of bringing Goodstock2007 into manifestation.

    I believe that when the other places see how well Goodstock goes they will be more inclined to accept us in the future. Kansas would be more centralized but their laws are very strict and we want some slack in certian areas.

    Right now we are working on a shoestring and the going has been like pushing a mule uphill. We are finely making some progress thanks to Earthmother and are very excited as the time gets closer.

    My fear is that this will happen:

    Tickets will be like $300 each.
    The food and water will be overpriced.
    There will be riots and rape.

    This is what happened at Woodstock '99. I don't know, maybe we have changed in the last seven years, but I'm not sure. I would like to go. But I fear that greed and violence will show.

    Are there still plans to do a festivel in the US?

    I think that its all in the advertising...you want to advertise buy not too widely because then you get the college meat-head crowd, and they can get out of control. I'll tell you what though, i think its alcohol that really gets people angry and violent...other drugs are much easier on the mind...if you ask me.

    Shameless heifer, i am sure that you have a lot of suggestions coming your way, but as far as location, what about coventry vermont?
    I was there for Phish's last concert, and the town was very accomidating, and there are not many police... i dont know if you were thinking more central in the country. But let me tell you, the people there are chill (they are all farmers) and the north east IS pretty liberal.
