This DOES indeed look rather interesting! THANK YOU, Paul, for bringing OUR attention to it. Unfortunately, I shan't be able to attend, but I should hope some of our other colleagues here at FutureHi will be able to do so, and can report-back how it was. Such retreats are refreshing (I've been on a few myself, though not as interesting as this one looks like it might turn-out to be...)
Ciao for now...
Posted by: MCP2012 at August 14, 2006 06:53 PMI just took a 2nd look at the Lineup: Looks pretty awesome! I'd love to be a mellow dose of some good shrooms while HALLUCINOGEN is playing...'Course that wouldn't be at all possible, thanks to the STUPID,UNCONSTITUTIONAL 'WAR ON [SOME] DRUGS' we're currently having to endure. But, then again, y'all know me, I'm just your typical psychedelic anarcho-eudaimonist!! (wink)
Oh, and hey, Erik Davis is a pretty cool kid. His book, *TechGnosis* is a worthwhile read; this thing'd be worth attendin' just hear him talk, but with the other attractions, this is a damn-good little get-together. I yet again encourage my colleagues here to check this one out...
Thanks again, Paul, for this timely news item!!
