Looks like they FINALLY updated it. I went last year, it was great. Long

trip from Boston, though!

 

I am thinking of going again this year, but have not committed yet.

Hi All,

 

I am looking for anyone interesting in traveling to the Living Now

Festival in Western New York on July 31st to August 3rd. I will be

coming from New Hampshire. I hope to drive up, but would love some

rawsome company for the long drive up. There will be camping, and

many speakers ( Brian Clement, Paul Nison,Viktoras Kulvinskas and

many more. You can check out the website below for more info.

 

peace,

Jude

Hi Art,

 

Did you drive last year when you went? I did think about flying, but

the traveling from the airport to the event seemed like a hassel. I

think we know a raw friend from our area. Alissa Cohen, she used to

have raw potlucks in Beverly.. I have taken some classes from her,

and done some video work with her for her upcoming book. I am so

thankful for the Organic Garden in Beverly MA. Nice to get away from

the kitchen and have a meal prepaired once in a while. Let me know

if you decide to head up the the festival...

 

peace,

Jude

Hey, Jude (Sorry, I couldn't resist.. I'll bet if you had a nickel for

everytime someone said that.... first and last time, I promise.)

 

Yes, I did drive, by myself, no passengers. And I remember meeting people

from the Boston area. So, I suggested to one of the organizers (Albert, I think)

that there be a ride board on the website. He thought it was a great idea, but

it looks like it wasn't implemented. So, I'm thinking of starting a Living

Now Festival .

I don't like to fly, so that's out for me. Train perhaps? Keep in mind you

have to carry a tent, sleeping bag, etc.. it's just easier in a car, I think.

 

I think we know a raw friend from our area. Alissa Cohen, she used to

Yes, I do know her. I've gone to her potlucks. The last one was in January or

February. We were half of the people that showed up. There were maybe 7

people in all. Alissa stopped doing them after that, and I don't blame her.

Well, I looked at the updated website and speakers, and I see Doug Graham is

going to be one of the speakers. He wasn't there last year. I'd really like to

hear him talk, so I'm leaning towards going, now. Not to mention the food was

fantastic. Kwatamani's mixed plates were expensive, but very tasty. I really

enjoyed the sweat lodge, too.

 

If I do go, I'll probably rent a car. I don't know how much longer I'll have

my car for, or how long it will last. My wife's willing to give me her car,

but hers is starting to have quirky problems, and has over 140,000 miles on it.

 

Or, I'd be willing to chip in for gas, tolls, etc., with you or someone else.

 

I'm leaning towards going, but I probably won't send in my payment until I

return July 9 from vacation.

What kinds of activities are there for children at the festival? I'm

contemplating bringing two children ages 8 and 5 and wondering if they will have

a good time.

Hi Art,

 

Take a bad song and make it better... Yeah I hear that song all the

time.. Its a great tune so I don't mind..

The food sounds so yummy!!! I can't wait to go. I was leaning towards

renting a car also. Mine has over 170,000 miles on it.

That's too bad they didn't get a ride board going, that would have

been awesome. I am doing some work for alissa with regards to her

email soon, so I am hoping to get out to her extensive list about the

festival and seeing if others from this area are going also.

I saw Doug speak at the Organic Garden this past winter. Awesome food

and Roseline spoke also.

Do you remember how long it took you to drive there? I thought about

9 hours, but I was wondering if that was correct.

I plan to sign up the begining of July also before the discounted

deadline of July 15th. So I'll speak to you around then..

 

Peace,

Jude

Mine has about 104,000, but it's falling apart. My wife was going to give me

her car, but hers has over 140,000. I might buy my friends Honda Accord.. it

was well maintained, has 110K, but I know he didn't beat on it. I'd feel safe

driving that there. I really wanted a 5 speed, but his car has A/C and cruise

control and some other features I like, plus it gets decent gas mileage. Oh,

and the asking price is more than fair.

I haven't announced it yet, but I started a

" Living_Now_Festival " , which could be used as a ride board. I need to tell

Albert about it.. maybe

he can have a link to it from the greensunhealing web page.

Yeah, I missed it, but should've went.

I think it was more like 7 hours.. but I'm not entirely sure. It's basically

one road all the way out there, then cut south. The nice part is, it's mostly

all highway driving.

 

> I plan to sign up the begining of July also before the discounted

I'll probably sign up when I return from Florida. Otherwise the price goes

WAY up.

 

Talk to you soon,
