I've been doing rainbow gatherings for about three years now that is a link to a documentary called I love you that was done by a schoolteacher. They definitely changed my life for the better. You learn a lot about yourself and those around you when you are out in the middle of the woods. I think everyone should go at least once especially the national rainbow gathering in July every year. It's in a different state each time and there are smaller regional gatherings all over the country. I couldn't figure out how to post the video...sorry!

That video was awesome. I loved the face shaped mud-oven. If I was at a Rainbow Gathering I guess I would start a free clothes booth because I can sew hippie clothes. Knowing me, I would probably get a lot of hippie chicks in on the sewing too. I bet some of those girls can sew circles around me. Then we would make some like rilly rilly groovy clothes out of calico and -like - dress the masses in dashikis and spinny skirts.

You know what? Somebody should just start a Rainbow commune for real. Like that movie called "The Village" except that the houses would be less Victorian and more like super modern environmental designs.

Witchaywoman: Classic Dead
Always liked this song, but really nothing else.
More to life than being stoned.

You don't have to be stoned to like the dead. Besides:

There are little communes all over i think there are quite a few that call themselves hippie hill and what not. Sewing would probably help a lot out. That's what's cool about a rainbow gathering is everyone brings something different. There's one down in Shawnee National Forest coming up toward the end of September and beginning of October. It's usually a bit rougher than some other gatherings. It's mostly a road dog gathering, people that do it year round. Once you get out of the parking lot and into the woods though its a good time. There's usually a front gate in the parking lot which is where all the drinking goes on it can get a bit rowdy, but once your in the woods where most the kitchens and hippies are drinking is highly discouraged and its always a good time!

Witchaywoman: You don't know? Wow. The Grateful Dead was a band. The lead singer died years ago. They had a huge following of Hippies who drove everywhere they played and camped in the parking lots. People would go to the show and the hippies would all be selling things in the lot. I used to buy and sell jewelry there when they came to Chicago. I made stained glass peace sign necklaces. Everybody there was all dressed up in totally weird fashions like floor length calico hand made hippie dresses with blue jeans underneath. There were girls with hairy legs, babies dressed in body paint and jingle bells, guys playing drums all over the place and the smell of barbecue and incense filled the air. Now, the surviving members still tour and there are lots of Grateful Dead cover bands who have some success. It was not just a band. It was a lifestyle and mindset.

RayfromUSA: I much preferred the group that they often toured with, The New Riders of the Purple Sage.
Love the Riders, better than Grateful Dead

A somewhat less "freaky" and more "organic" and "acoustic" spinoff from the same roots as the deadheads is the Kerville Folk Festival in Central Texas.
I've been there about 8 or 9 times camping out for the entire 3 weeks of the festival.
There are big crowds of about 10-15,000 people on weekends
Then there are more intimate concerts every evening during the week.
And best of all for musicians, there are literally hundreds of small impromptu jam sessions all over the place during every day and into the wee hours of the morning after the evening concerts
In 3 weeks time you can actually meet and talk to just about everybody there and share a lot of music together.

My sentiments exactly.
Buddy Cage is 10 times better on pedal steel than Jerry Garcia ever was.
Once he joined the group the New Riders were a lot better musically than the Grateful Dead.

I been down that road further than anybody would care to go.
Deadheads and Rainbow type people do fine together for a few days, but it falls apart if they actually try to live together in a practical longterm way. Working communes take people with their feet firmly on the ground.
Otherwise it degenerates quickly into a dysfunctional loony farm.
