Hello lovely canadians! So here's a party we've been planning our escape to here in NY for months now. Just wondering what your guy's input on past events or anything to do with this is. We're taking a bus up there so expect about 60 good vibing americans! We can't wait and hopefully it'll ba a blast!!! Thank you Canada for your beautiful land, people and laws!! click here for the website



A Teknival is a free non-commercial weekend-long gathering, a our celebration of the DIY (do it yourself) attitude, and an experiment in non-hierarchical organization. The festival encourages group autonomy and self-sufficiency.

Teknival is free from an entrance fee, but also from authority and leadership. Each individual or group is free to get involved however they want, for the love of what they do.
Ontario’s 2005 Teknival will take place July 14-18, *NEW* Location southeast of Bancroft area, near Gilmour, ON. Some pics of the location here!

:: Driving directions :: Released 07.09.2k5 :: See link below

There is private property near the site - please respect it so the party can go on!!!

Crown land rules: it is LEGAL for us to be on Crown Land provided we play by some simple, and often complimentary rules.
1) the regular laws apply regardless of permit
2) no permanent damage or changes are allowed without a permit
3) no profit may be made on Crown Land without permit
4) we can be there for as long as 3 weeks
5) it is for use by all members of the public, which means we can not limit access to it and must share it!

so the law supports the gift-exchange free spirited essence of teknival!

Bring enough food, water, shelter and supplies for yourself and everyone you bring up. Get together with friends into camps to share resources and responsibility. Buy in bulk to save money and garbage. More about what to bring with you

Toilets will NOT be provided. BURY YOUR OWN SHIT! Learn how to properly shit in the woods.

Clean up after yourself and those around you. Take out what you bring in (all your garbage fit in the car on the way up, it will fit on the way home too!). Leave no trace. Help clean up before you leave

Other neat projects:

Experimental de-centralized project planning hub - tekno-wiki
Alternate energy workshops
free software computer network @ teknival!
more....

What's wrong with "candy raving hippy-ish"?

The point is to spread the word about Teknival, duh!!! Many don't know about it or what its about. My roommate is 1 of the main organisers of this event. Free, renegade camping party with do-it-yourself soundstages.

Wow...I can't believe the negativity I've just read.

LittlePoonzgirl, if you'd actually read my post in the right frame of mind...you'd have seen that I never once said there was anything wrong with candy raving hippy-ish ppl. And I'm really surprised that you would take that kind of tone with me. I certainly don't remember hearing that you went to support the Rave Rally as I did. So whatever it is that's upset you...I think you'd better re-evaluate.

Tatgirl...You've totally misread my intention. To be frank, I only posted the question to draw out more interest in this thread since it was about to go to the next page on the forum. Check you PM



Afterthought: To LittlePoonzgirl
I suppose I'm coming across as being really sensitive...so if I misread your intent and you didn't mean to give me a negative tone...then please forgive me. It just seems to me that lately...all I read is a lot of negatives at this site...and it's getting harder to know who's being sarcastically negative and who's not.

Well, sorry if that came across the wrong way. That's why sometimes I don't post as much as I would like. It's difficult to understand intentions on an online forum. You are right, there is too much negativity...though I choose not to contribute to it. Actually, this site isn't as bad as a few others I've read. Just keep this in mind: there are lots of people here that don't try to attack what others say and just want to have good friends and good times. Dont worry so much about all the people causing problems, I guess it's just the way a lot of people are now. Lead by example and remember to always smile *hugs*

Back to the thread. I would love to go to Teknival but there are a few problems I have. One in specific is that I am a girl and going in the woods normally is tricky. But doing that at a certain time of the month...that's just not my idea of a good time. If I wasn't so busy I would look into some way to set up a pay bathroom area as (a type of vendor) for others that would like that kind of option.

Anyone who has the chance to go to this, please do so and tell me all about it. I've heard so many good things and would like to go next year.

Word Feems. I'll be there with the renegade virus crew. My names Tessa, and yours?

Different subject:
To b4k oz. dude. CHILL OUT!!! I'm sick of posting my simple thoughts and information to have up-tight serotonin lacking know it alls criticise it. What in the fuck were you thinking posting "and your point is". That's plane dumb and rude and I really can't be bothered to explain what my point was, this should be obvious. As far as kandi hippies go. Guess the only way to find out if this is what the event consists of would be to go. Mind you if I wanted to be stereotypical your metro clubbing ass wouldn't be welcome. Until then do please keep the ignorant comments to yourself and save people like me the trouble and frustration. sheesh.

To lilpoonzgirl:
well bloody said! Shame you can't make it out this year, I'm a little hesitant about being in a forest with no decent place to shit for three days too. I will make sure to post allot of pictures once we get back to show you what you missed. The events been getting bigger every year so maybe if your cycle allows, you will be able to make it then
The nintendo quotes hilarious by the way... had me laughing for a fat minute

Anyways my bags are packed I'm ready to go, hope I don't get stopped by the shitty patrol.

Hey girl, I don't know you (and I probably won't because I AM a metro clubber--don't have the connection with nature to be able to pull off an event like Teknival) but b4k-oz certainly isn't one...she just said above that she went to the Rave Rally so she's the Real McCoy.

Anyway, I don't need to stick up for her because she can easily do it herself; I feel like the thing was a big misunderstanding because Pat is one stellar chiquita and I hate it when good people are misunderstood and it gets carried on into a flame war.

Make peace not war!
[/cheesiness]

This would be alot of fun.... I cant do it this year, too much money being spent on other parties, I really cant keep up, I cant keep dropping cash on these adventures

Hopefully Id love to go next year.... Whuddya say Little Hulla, me and you, shall we do it up girl?!?!

Yay!!! PLURR!

MistyCalTrance-
an off-board conversation was had about this thread and problem solved- it was bad verbalization of thoughts / words, which lead to basic misunderstandings. Problem was remedied.

Regardless, have fun! Hopefully next yr I'll be there.
