Fun Festival

The Fun Festival is an ongoing intentional gathering with the purpose of facilitating fun festivities, or "happenings," grounded in an active open dialogue with the community in which the festival is being staged. These happenings can occur at any time and in any place, in any way in which they will be acceptable to those who have authority over the rules of behavior within said place. It is the festival's coordinators who are responsible for securing permission to use a space as a staging ground, or "venue."

The ultimate goal of the Fun Festival is to facilitate the creation and maintenance of an ongoing open venue space, a place within the community that will always be available as a safe, welcoming and engaging place for anyone willing to respect it's sensibility. In the meantime, we intend to work with the community to come together to bring the scene to any space which will agree to host it, in as mutually beneficial a way as we can come up with together.

If you have a potential venue that would like to co-create a fun festivity with us, please let us know. Together we're sure to come up with something good!

Peace and love and blessings of abundance and prosperity be with you!
And fun. Always fun.

You are the primary venue. The scene has no permanent residence beyond our hearts. Every time they open to each other becomes a happening. Honor the scene within you, and the happening before you. Love your venue with all you heart, mind & spirit, and your neighbor's venue as your own. Honor the sensibility of any venue that will open itself to the festival. Respect your patron's/host's wishes in how you allow the happening to manifest, and shepherd it through it's time in the venue. Clarify basic limitations in allowable expression & manifestation before the happening begins. No gathering of hearts is too small to be a happening. Let's have one soon.

'Stoned wallabies make crop circles'

Australian wallabies are eating opium poppies and creating crop circles as they hop around "as high as a kite", a government official has said.

Lara Giddings, the attorney general for the island state of Tasmania, said the kangaroo-like marsupials were getting into poppy fields grown for medicine. She was reporting to a parliamentary hearing on security for poppy crops. Australia supplies about 50% of the world's legally-grown opium used to make morphine and other painkillers.

"The one interesting bit that I found recently in one of my briefs on the poppy industry was that we have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles," Lara Giddings told the hearing. "Then they crash," she added. "We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high."
