We Vermonters are so busy growing food, we just can't make it to a National half a continent away...thus...we farmin' vermonters can't be there in the physical realtiy to bring it to council. So....what do you love about blessed vermont? Love and light, shining bright

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Wed, April 16, 2008 - 2:45 AMVermont Gathering was one of my favorite gatherings in the early 90s (91). I loved it so much I ended up staying afterwards and went to college in Burlington. It was also one of the largest gatherings. I believe it was like 60,000. I remember cause the local paper in Burlington was saying that Granville had become the largest city in Vermont, doubling the population of Burlington (pop. 30,000+). Yes I love to see Rainbow return to Vermont. How many remember Ben & Jerry bringing tons of icecream to all the kitchens & that night we all stood around the heart fire drum circle with our icecream filled bliss ware & having Ben & Jerry show up and kick it with us? Yah that was a magickal gathering no doubt. New Hampshire was very conservative and I remember some family getting a ticket at one of the Toll Oasis for "Public Display of Affection". And while visiting my girlfriend's family in beautful Family friendly Brattleboro we went skinny dipping in the Connecticut River (Vermont was a clothing optional swimming hole state in them days) and we swam across to the New Hampshire side and when we came out of the water a cop was waiting for us and he had a angry look and point back to the other side and told us to take our asses back to the liberal hedonist Vermont side. That they didn't tolerate that stuff in their state so I don't like New Hampshire. -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Wed, April 16, 2008 - 7:25 AMvermont has been brought up at the council many many times....i don't know why it hasn't been picked again. i'm like gypsy...that was my very first gathering also...and it was an extremely powerful, beautiful experience....it literally changed my life forever. first time i've ever showered with three other people while....twenty folks were waiting in line at the looney saloon. there is alot of family that gets really uptight if you even start suggesting sites this side of the mississippi. i dunno....
hey gypsy did you ever get the chance to go slide down that waterfall?....so fun! i also ended up living in burlington on front st with 16 other rainbows...the onion river food co-op loved us cuz there was always someone willing to volunteer for them everytime they called.
I LOVERMONT!!!! VERMONT IS FOR RAINBOWS!!! -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Wed, April 16, 2008 - 7:57 AMWHAT!?! Wait you lived in the Front Street House right off of North St? I lived in that house for a month! Oh so long ago. Trying to pull names from my memories. I used to run the Last Elm Street Cafe at night. Went to Burlington College and work on Church Street during the day. I was a maintenance guy on Church Street! :-D Shit! I can't remember names but I can remember that house like it was yesterday. -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Wed, April 16, 2008 - 8:23 AMYes Oregon is beautiful & Portland is like a giant Burlington and Eugene is like a giant Brattleboro. :-D I'll miss Oregon but I'll probably end up settling in Northern Cal cause Crow asked me too. Already been looking at Mountain homes for rent cheap up near Pioneer, CA. -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Wed, April 16, 2008 - 8:14 AMI'm the guy Waters ask to put up the CALM (Cause I was a ex carny and he figure I would put it up the best). Me and my girl Bunny was camped at Om Tea Home. My other girl Summer camped at Blue & Purple (I think thats what the kitchen was called) with our travel partner Mayhem aka nature boy. I hung with a brother name Rabbit at the Vermont Gathering. I was one of the brothers who foculized the Brother Sister Circle that was held in the candy cane Circus tent that belong to CALM. Damn! I'm pulling up some memories right now. I haven't been home since the Montana Gathering. Potlucks aren't enough. Sistah Crow from the SCROLL/San Diego Family saids she is kidnapping me for the Wyoming Gathering this year. I just may let her. The job market has gone dead on me and after living here for almost 5 years I'm packing up and heading back to California next week to spend some time with my real family and get my Subaru running sharp. So I will most likely see everyone in Wyoming. I would support a return to Vermont and since our gatherings have gotten smaller since then I say go back to the original site. That site was gorgeous. I remember we tricked A-Camp into thinking the back door was the front door and they set up A-Camp there. lol But when you came down the trail from the back door onto that logging road on the ridge you could look out on the whole site. It was breath taking. -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Fri, April 18, 2008 - 2:22 PMhell yes vermont!! my gal & i went there last summer & found this wonderful little
camping spot there in the green mountains...apparently there was a small regional
happening just around the corner. we are going back there again this summer.
i love the energy there, so wonderful. we met some really kind folks who live
there & love the land & want it protected like us rainbows - indeed.
why not have a regional if ya'll vermontians can't get out?! i am sure peeps would
come, there is a lot of family that can't make the gatherings that are so far west.
my vote is vermont. yes. for sure. if im there, i'll voice.
they can throw a hissy fit if they want. we got to spread it around. -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Mon, April 21, 2008 - 11:43 AMalright gypsy...i looked closer at yer pic and...i think i remember you....does your last name mean house of the wolf? if that's you....my ex boyfriend and i stayed briefly with you when you were still on house arrest. there was also another guy staying with you and you both worked the last elm scene....remember when trey and mike from phish came in and jammed out the cafe? i didn't know you moved into the front street house...must have been after don and i went to work at lazy lady farm. i lived in that house with phinn, april, sunny, doc, pooh, blaise, moon, freya and dooooooh.....i can picture their faces but the names aren't as forthcoming. that was such a good home! -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Mon, April 21, 2008 - 7:30 PMWhoa! Wait I think I remember you too. LOL Me and Summer had gone into Burlington for a Reggae Festival and we was camping outside of a school and they got broken into. Stupid cops couldn't catch the thief but found me and her asleep in our sleeping bags and arrested us for felony trespassing. I got her off (she was pregnant) and I did I think 6 months then they put me up in a house arrest apartment. I remember letting some Family stay at my apartment and I make them roll up their gear and hide it in my closet during the day so they didn't know. I believe one of the kids was using my apartment buildings attic to dry out some fresh harvest weed too. My apartment was next to the Fedral Building & Post Office, accross from the UU Church & Church Street. Lets see, their was me, my girlfriend Anna (don't remember if she was there yet when you stayed at my place.) My friend Tracker & shit I can't remember the other kid I had their. Yes we all volunteered at Last Elm Cafe. I think it was like 2 or 3 months after I got off of house arrest, I was crashing at the Last Elm after I close it and one of the sisters invited me to the Front Street house. I was still going to Burlington College at that time.
Wow! I can't believe you remember me after only chilling at my place for a very very brief time 17 years ago. Awesome memory. You even remembered that my name was Villalobos (house of the wolves).
I also remember hanging at Necters alot back in them days. Man that town was phat! I really miss it. -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 8:07 AMWhile I have never been to Vermont, and have only been to one National (1992 Colorado) , I have to say, I would love to see it happen in VT . I first heard about the R.Gatherings when the national was held in Vermont back in....wow I have to think here. Maybe 1989 pr 90? Could have been 91. I know I tried to get there, but my hitch hiking partner was hit by a passing semi, and had to have his leg fixed, so we ended up half way there from Oregon and turning back...But even though we never got there, I have alway , ALWAYS wanted to go to Vermont. In fact, for several years I toyed with moving to Burlington. I most likely am not going this year either (Babylon won again), and wherever it happens this summer ( i ignore the early rumors no matter what) my heart wants to see it in Vermont...Don't get me wrong the early mentions of Wyoming are nice too, but I tend to feel that Vt folks (the officials and all that ) are more inclined to not have issues with a get together out there...Just my two cents...Namaste -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 8:15 AMWell if you want the gathering to be on the east coast. Get involved in vision council. -
-
Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 1:08 PMThe gathering is to be in WY this year. Vision council happens at that gathering to pick the next region. That's where folks need to be to bring vermont to the table. I will vision-send with all my heart for the Vermont National 2009!!! -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 8:32 PMI live in Western Mass on the Vermont border and would LOVE to see a Vermont National. My understanding is there are a lot of pockets of private land in the national forest there and there were issues with people trespassing on the private property. I don't really know..this is just what I heard.
Earthdancer can you elaborate on the regional there this summer? I called the NERF lightline and there is no news on there yet. I was wondering where you heard these dates.

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 8:33 AMI had a comment to make, and the more times I re typed it (So as not to offend or piss off anyone or set myself up) the less I felt that what I had to say would even matter. It'll Sir up dust that I will get to eat later....katsup please...SO with that said....I find that dealing with Babylon is more tempting to me as I see clearer and clearer the inner politics, YES!!!! I said it, POLITICS..I am not interested. OK, now wait don't atart typing to me about how wrong I am, 'feel the love sister, not your sister...just a broke ass mom that wants to go, but can't...I totally dig the whole inner attempt to be all loving and welcoming, that is there...But between the inner ear I have with the local circles, and the tidbits I get here and at other sites, vicarious gathering is far safer for me and my personal interests. Why not Vermont? What if folks had little faith in the 'vision counsel ' , o didn't like what decides, then what happens..Or what if no-one wanted to go to Wyoming. Or maybe I just think that it might be prettier and more 'family friendly ' somewhere else... Seems to me that the effort to appease the greater mass should really be focused more on the masses abilities to get there...HAS NO ONE SEEN THE COST OF FUEL..what sort of hippies are we if we have ONE big gathering instead of lots of tiny ones. Saves fuel for folks in Florida trying to get to Washington, and for folks in Taos that gotta go all the way to Wyoming...in favor or locations and accessibility. Why not a east coast AND a west coast, smaller regionals, more often even. Spread out the locations and frequency of having gatherings at each state..The cost of gas is freaking me out and even if I had the funds to go, I staying home. Maybe taking the Bus to Eugene for a week...there, I think I made some sense... -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 8:36 AMnot that it is THE answer , but the burners do 'regionals' . and yes, you hear a lot of ,,,,,, i would rather do two small , closer events, than travel to nv. only traveling to the big event when things line up right.
born in enosburg vt. , spent 20 years in rutland, i r a woodchuck. now out in az. soaking up the heat. and doing the bm thing -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 2:07 PMlove going to regionals....and i'm with you on the several nationals idea...folksneed to gather. otherwise some of us may never make it home. i've heard rumors round rainbow for years that there are "secret" nationals/annuals whatever. for now i'm trying to figure out what type of diesal engine i could fit into my 91 piece o sh@# jetta so that i can run it on some french fry grease...and who knows...maybe i'll see ya'll in wyoming...crazier things have happened. -

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Sun, May 4, 2008 - 3:12 AMVermont would be a beautiful thing. Seems like lately the east Coast Nationals have been in swamps, or areas with poison ivy every square inch. It would be really beautiful to have a national in Vermont, good weather, friendly locals, laid back local law enforcement,plenty of back doors in and out of the Texas falls site... That site is still beautiful, and I wish the family would choose it again.

Re: Who loves Vermont, and wants to see the next gathering in the Green or White mountains???
Sun, May 4, 2008 - 6:51 PMyes, there are def parts of the forest right next to private land, and the roads really suck too.
but there are areas of exclusion, meadows that spread far & wide.
i went up to the old 91' site and the roads up there are horrible. but that has never stopped us
before. carpool it up. also, there is a camping spot that was made into a rifle range,
but there are no signs, just littered shells on the groud. its f'ed up really. the
locals really don't like it! i camped down the road from it and heard automatics
one night. this is no fear here, just telling you the situation.
there are plenty of other areas, the forest is huge*.
the nerf line will have it up when its time, no worries. -
