how about aug in Sturgis South Dakota. During the annual biker rally most of them are old hippies. Anything gos during this week event and there are so many bands of all realms that its hard not to find a good time
Yea, I'm in canada and would love to have a hipforums meet up but going to the states is jsut to far. I could dig montana, or wisconsin(sp) or something but not so dang far. Pehaps we could localize a spot in the center .. you know. Because I would hate to have to orginize a gathering for just us canadians but it's panning out that way.
Only way I've figured is to do it regionally unless people are willing or able to travel far.. The idea of finding a great fest (hopefully not a huuuge one, too hard to find your people, we tried that at GOTV some years back and couldn't find half of 'em) or something and hooking up prior is a good idea too. A state or national park would be another great idea.
theres not really any question as to whether people would come or not. if u advertise they will come. that is, pick a date far enough in the future like early summer 06 at earliest and plan and advertise online on hipforums and other sites and make flyers that people can print out and post all over the fuckin place where hip folks hang out. of course the location is going to be a problem for some people but thats the beauty of having hip forums make a thread for people from different regions (there is that already right?) so they can plan carpools bus trips w/e. thats all i got for now i would love to help get this thing rolling. kudos to terrapin station for starting this thread. peace and love.
as it is in usa, then its gonna be bloddy expensive and i prolly will not go anywhere even if you advertise and send me the invitation with mail behind my door..
