Aloha, just got word from the focalizers on Big I.

The site for the 2009 feb gathering has been selected.  It sounds
_awesome_.

The land owner apparently is very fond of rainbow gatherings and even
has his own rainbow website.

There is open space with kiawe trees and grass for camping and
kitchens.  Site has water.

The site is a quick walk away from beautiful ocean access with
tidepools, but the ocean swimming is a bit rough and for adults only.
  However, about a 30 minute walk away is a beautiful white sand beach!!!

The site is a twenty-five minute walk from a small parking area, and
lots of other parking is available a bit farther.  Please, for the
sake of all of us with little kids or who like a peaceful environment,
out of respect for the core principles rainbow was founded on, and
also out of respect for those who have made this sacred 'aina
available, I ask that there be no A-Camp nor even drunkenness in the
actual core area of the gathering (main circle, main kitchen and
kiddie village).  My daughters get very confused when they see drunk
people, and I prefer they have other role models, so come out and join
us when you're sober.  Thanks.

So, if you are on the fence as to whether or not to come, I would say
call one of the Big I focalizers directly, Reverend Rainbow Tribes, at
808-965-8422, to get the low-down.  He is very positive that the site
will work out.  Scouted multiple times, the site is pristine, unique
and remarkably undeveloped for the kona side, as you will find out
when you get there.  This is a once in a life-time opportunity: the
site will likely never be available for a rainbow gathering again.

Closest airport is Kona.  Holding camp is wherever you are.  After
recent incidents at MacKenzie, I can no longer recommend that site en
masse, but of course everyone is free to make their own decisions.

Stick out your thumb, meet people, have adventures and raise
awareness, consciousness and green energy for the magic hat.

Yeh mon!
