Let me first start off by saying that I am stone cold sober. And I have been completely sober for almost two weeks. So none of what I'm about to say is drug inspired.
Last August, I went on a trip to Jamaica via Psytopia. The idea behind the group was to promote drug legalization and other random information. Well it fell apart, sponsors backed out and 10 bands, 8 comedians and 10 or so speakers never showed. You can read the whole
story here:

So there I was with 60 or so stoners, hippies, acid/shroom heads, e-tards, drunks and pill poppers. All with common interests. Now the original idea why we went is now dead, and the guy who setup the entire event didn't even show up. After the initial day of being shocked and pissed off, most of us decided to have a blast anyway. Hell, we were in Jamaica in an all-inclusive resort for 6 days and 5 nights. Tons of weed, plenty of beautiful women, and just about every drug imaginable. We made the best of it and had way to much fun. It was the most carefree time in my entire life. It was so enjoyable I vowed to go back in 2007 with just a couple of local friends.
Heres the deal, I don't want to go back with just a couple of friends. I want to a whole mess of people to be down there. Imagine if you will, 30+ shroomerites gathered on the beach smoking some of the finest Jamaican weed, some of us rolling/tripping/drunk while watching the sun set and listening to chill music. We could visit Bob Marley's old house. We could take a trip to JXMI and look at there shroom cultivation area. I'm just throwing around random ideas.
I'm dead serious about this guys and girls, I want this to happen. Yes it will cost more money then your standard gathering (sad to say, I've never been to one) but I think it will be worth it.
I would like to see such a gathering take place in later summer 2007. Maybe the first or second week of August. Having it in 2007 would give some of us poorer folks(like myself) time to save the funds necessary.
-Go to an all-inclusive resort. Food and alcohol is included (hence "all-inclusive"). Most resorts like this have transportation to other places. Probably more expensive but also more convenient.
-Go to a smaller seaside resort. Each person would be responsible for their own food and alcohol. We would have to organize our own transportation. More of a hassle I think, but it might be cheaper in the long run.
Regardless of whether this materializes or not, I'm still going back in 2007. The purpose of this post is gauge interest. If enough people show interest or would definitely go, I would start planning. So I'm looking for ideas and interest. What say all of you?
Note to mods: I am posting this in The Pub instead of the Gather and Travel forum to get more of a response. If you want, move it. Of course I really don't have to give any of you permission for that.
