What are the details concerning the rainbow family? Do these people travel and live together?
Don't they throw a festival once a year?

Yeah the annual is going to be in Wyoming this year, I'm prolly going...went to the one in Northern Utah a few years back and it was pretty cool, a whole bunch of people running around out in the woods, some of them nekkid and a TON of drum circles.

Wasn't it in Ocala two years back?
If one wanted to join the rainbow people, how would they go about doing that?

No personal experience, but i'v been interested in them for awhile, and wish to attend some of their gatherings. But when i met, and was hanging out with my hobo/streetkid/gutterpunk friends, they didn't call themselves rainbow family, but said they fallowed the gatherings sometimes, and when i asked what the contingent was "hippies, or your people" they said that a their wasn't that much of a difference these days.
I found that interesting, and would like to see how accurate that is, because some of these people were far from hippies.

I lived in Asheville for a while and the very day I was moving out, my roommate's friend's friend (who used to live with the family) was visiting that day.
I didn't get to speak to him long, but he made the group sound very interesting. He was given the name Ocean by the group and had used DMT around 10 times with them. It seemed like such a peaceful life the way he described it. Very chill dude as well.

Rainbow in Ocala Florida is bad news, for the most part.
Ocala Rainbow is said to be the worst around, for the most part.
Florida hippies are shwagg, for the most part.

I never experienced the Ocala gathering personally... well I was supposed to but that's when I wound up in marion county jail But I heard lots and lots of stories about ocala "rainbows"... very very few of them were good. Lots of sketchy stuff going on inside that national forest from the sounds of it.. including violent bums living there year round mixed in with the crowd. Not that you couldn't have a good time it just doesn't have the 'vibe' or something. Stay as far away from Florida as possible is my advice well maybe not Suwanee.... but stay away from the middle of that state its cursed

I've never been to rainbow in ocala, just heard hundreds of stories.
Plus I have a bitterness for the state of Florida in general, anymore, I just don't like it there.
See the facts man, Ocalas rainbow has the worst rep out of any other rainbow gathering across the land.

I heard things about the Michigan Family too, like their patriarch, Ratche (sp?), who liked to diddle women in their tents while they slept.
Now that's how you rumor-whore.

The Ocala gathering is more of a gathering of homeless people wanting free food.
It sucks trust me. The only saving grace was that was with me. If she wasn't there and I was single it would have sucked.

That's a shame, I hear the annual gatherings are the best.
Have only been to one gathering and it wasn't great, cool experience but too many street kids trading fake acid for the only real drugs in the camp.

The real rainbow gatherings are in Quartzsite Az every January. This is where all of the rainbows get their crystals that they carry around in gun cases. All of the rainbow travelers roll in and take over the back lot at the desert gardens gem show. They trade for the crappiest junk pieces of most minerals and pass them off as quality at festivals. They sometimes get some good stuff but almost always have to pay money which they hate to do. They have been getting more and more numerous every year and there were about 20-30 camps this year. It got to the point where they and their dogs caused trouble(with each other) and lots of vendors caught them shoplifting. The cops came in and ran out about half of them. I asked them for good opiates and they could only come up with subs, fucking amateurs .

There's a rainbow kid I met this year who calls himself Pocket Trash. He goes around and asks for little bits of trash in people's pockets and makes sure it gets to the main trash bin. I guess this is what he does to make himself feel useful.

Fuck! one of them had THE biggest pitbull I've ever seen. This dog was pure ripped muscle. He was a sweet dog but oh my god! I could understand the stigma of the breed if they all were bred with genetics like this one, but most people have never seen a dog like this.

Around here we get lots of pitbulls at shelters. I've only seen a few full labs come through and they get snapped up real quick. Maybe that's the case wherever they live too, I could imagine wooks opting for adoption.
