Anyone headed to the gathering in ocala this febuary? I just left the Chattahoochee gathering and my friend and I are hitching it out to ocala. I've heard that there's a holding camp already set up. Anyone have info on a more exact location? Thanks guys ✌

the group 'dirty kid couchsurfing coalition' on facebook talks a lot about it.

Has that place gotten any better? I went a few years ago and there were allloooot of fights and a few stabbings.

 

[Matt Derrick]

it used to be great back in the day, but i haven't been out there since like 2002 i think

Yeah this guy protested HBO blah blah blah but seriously he took over a satellite reciever in ocala which is in link with like 1/3 the east coast or something. That company is still running!! I want to go there if I end up at rainbow this year and talk to the dude, he wasn't fired!

John R. MacDougall (born c. 1961), also known as Captain Midnight, is a Floridaelectronic engineer and business owner whojammedHBO's satellite signal in April 1986 to broadcast a message protesting their rates for satellite dish owners.

I'm going

 

[technotrash]

I'm thinking of going, but i'm not sure. i've never been to rainbow but i've heard of all the gatherings this one tends to be the most toward the schwilly/ridiculous (not in a good way) end of the spectrum.

maybe because it's the first one after winter? maybe it's because florida is inherently crazy? who knows...
anyway, i'd like to hear from some folks who have gone to these things, is it worth it/a good idea?
i wish there was a group that did the same thing with slightly more political leanings...

 

[gingerbreadman]

not going to make it down for that but, mabey a-cola. dose anyone know what days it starts/ends on useally? i know its in march but was hopeing to find somthing more specific.

 

[soodoenim]

I'm going to attend, and I wanted to see if anyone out there had any more up-to-date information about where the National Rainbow Gathering might be happening this year. I'm well aware that information on an exact location is spotty up until June, but I wanted to see if folks out there knew what forest it's likely to be in. Thanks!

 

[sofarfromhome]

hmm. maybe i should go to this..

 

[Wawa]

Also anxiously waiting for news!

 

[wonderlst012]

Also looking. Got an email from guy that said police and officials are going to arrest everyone they can.
Everyone should be very careful.

[wonderlst012]

I might go but if I do I'm leaving truck at a friends and riding with someone else. If shits the fan I'll go cross country lol

Probably just means the normal level of rainbow arrests, which are avoidable. Tie a rope to your dog, wear pants on public roads, don't drive with a busted headlight, don't pass the pipe to a forest ranger.

If he meant something more... hell even with as brainwashed as some people seem, I don't think 'murica could get away with arresting thousands or tens of thousands and not risk major trouble. Rainbow isnt all crusties and bush hippies, you know? And if somehow it did happen, I for one would rather be in the middle of it.

 

[wonderlst012]

I agree completely. I take it you've been before. I am looking forward to my first gathering. Trying to find some people to go with/offer ride, but until they say where it's going to be

 

[zephyr23]

Most People say it going to be in Mi a lot of scouts in the area.

 

[Sip]

Fuck yeah. Home-state pride.

agreed, they pretty much say that every year to scare people off.

I heard North Dakota, possibly. Not sure.

I'm hoping that one day, my little event I've started will blossom into the cousin of the Rainbow gatherings.

Contacted them via Facebook to see if our events could partner up.

Got directed to a YouTube video. Not sure what that was supposed to mean or tell me, but it was cool viewing.
