Anyone going to the Big Green Gathering?

I heard that in previous years they had sound systems powered by cyclo-generators - with queues of people waiting to pedal like mad to keep them going!

I wish I could go, but unfortunately not. It might be the sound system that travels around a lot of festivals and I saw up in Edinburgh and Gleneagles for the G8:

They seemed to be generating power to cook as well!

I'm going Either meet up or leave a message for me (Stephen) at the Men's Dome.

And yes - there are no diesel generators allowed on the site - solar powered cinemas, sound systems, saunas. The Rinky-Dink sounds system is always there which was at the Kyoto protest recently in London and relies on solar, wind and enthusiastic peddalers

The whole event is amazing and certainly something I'd recommend - catch Seize The Day in Croissant Neuf (http://www.seizetheday.org/) they were one of the big highlights (amongst many) of my last visit.

Well, it would be great to meet some of you there.

Seize the day are excellent!

I'm just listening to Chardash, digitally recorded by cycle power, live on the Rinky Dink.

That reminds me, I'll have to get a battery operated CD system - can live without electric light but not music.

I saw Baka Beyond with Rinky Dink. Brilliant.
