098 hitchhiker gathering craze

From: starstuffharvestingstarlight [e-mail] Date: 2010-08-04 21:21:20 Title: hitchhiker gathering craze

we're getting a couple of hitchhikers for the gathering, i expect more to come, since the gathering is this coming weekend in sines.

the new lounge outside is turning out amazing. people now gather outside, in the front of the building, and we're back to the escotilha8/nomad base feel. yesterday we had about 10 people from all over: Serbia, Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany, Estonia and the US. we are now succeeding in creating a loving, giving environment for travelers. everyone is happy, sharing and contributing positively to the community.

it's been a tough ride, but now we're getting there. people really are shallow. prettying up a place changes everything. making cleaner toilets, nicer walls, fancy cane constructions, makes people feel less afraid i think. only a few can visualize the potential in their heads. most people get stuck on small things and that was a big hurdle to jump over.

also, the next door company has been closing down the plot of land because of all the people dumping shit there. i don't know whether that is warning us of something or just making our situation better. fact is someone destroyed one of the road blocks, so we're back to the trucks dumping shit every day. sometimes it's good, we get new stuff to work with every day
