Communal vacations: Not just for hippies anymore
2011-07-06 00:53:00 So I got back from vacation this weekend with Mr. Mary Tyler Mom and Mary Tyler Son. Oh yeah, and three other families who happen not to be related to one another. Communal vacation, yo! They’re not just for hippies anymore! Mr. Mary Tyler Mom is much more of an upstanding citizen than myself. He actually...
Hippies to Urban Renewal, Hyperlocal History
2010-02-09 00:52:00 Old Town Now has touched on a lot of things going on around the neighborhood recently. This week I decided to learn about the hyperlocal history of Old Town and its community. I learned a lot and definitely gained insight on the character of the neighborhood today, from reading into some of the historical highlights of the area. Like did you know Old Town housed a vibrant Hippie scene in the late 1960s to '70s? Or that the heart of Old Town, the triangle between Clark Ave, North Ave and Ogden, was first designated by the Chicago Civic Defense Agency during WWII? ...
all those hookers in their fucking car; 12-stepping hippies hanging out at
2009-07-28 15:49:00 Okay, so I know that I don’t typically write about anything too personal here, Internet, and generally that’s because it’s none of your goddamned business. Go out and get a life of your own. But I had a very sad devastating thing happen to me recently, the kind of thing that turns your life upside down. So I thought I’d open myself up and share it with you, and let you comfort me in my time of need. Be my rock, Internet. Okay. Here goes: I was flying to New York last week, and when I checked in, I found out I wasn’t going to be upgraded to First Class. [note: brief pause to let it sink in.] I know! I had to sit in an uncomfortably tiny little seat with no free meal and no free beer and no free hand job (that’s why they close the little curtain, you know, so you don’t see the wealthy getting the free hand jobs). And the worst part about it is I had to endure these inhumane conditions while sitting next to stupid poor people! The h...
Living Like Hippies With Wanna Start A Commune
2009-04-18 12:00:00 In the 60's and 70's, communal living was popular throughout North America, and while it may not have been long-lasting or particularly successful back then, it's a reemerging trend today with businesses like Wanna Start a Commune that focus on networking for communal living standards.

Pai Town--Accidents and Hippies
2008-03-30 16:15:00 To say the least, my first day to Pai (AllAboutPai.com, PaiThailand.info, PaiTown.com) was an adventure. My friend--Pat--and I had booked a mini bus trip to Pai a couple days before we had planned to leave. On Saturday morning, we left from the Old City in Chiang Mai and a three hour ride put us in Pai by 4 p.m. We decided to rent motorbikes during our stay so we could get around quickly (rental shops were easy to find and had affordable rates). After finding our mode of transportation we decided to find a comfortable place to stay for the night; and a row of bungalows along the Pai River suited us fine. Finally, it was time to get out and see some of the surrounding area. Pai is located in a valley, and green-covered mountains rise around it. For our first stop, we decided to head to a waterfall. Unfortunately, the water is rather low during this time of year, and Mo Paeng Waterfall was far from spectacular. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful day out and we were able to enjoy the weat...

U2 Manager States That The Silicon Valley Hippies Should Pay Record Industr
2008-01-29 14:23:00 Sometimes people should really think before getting all het up methinks. Judge for yourselves - I’d be interested in your opinions. As I’ve mentioned in earlier items, the finger is being pointed at the ISP’s now for file sharing but U2’s manager of 30-years, Paul McGuinness, goes even further in a talk at the Midem conference where he blamed Silicon Valley’s “hippie values” for creating the problem. So not only taking a swipe at the ISPs, but also Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and basically every other successful tech company. There are so many problems with this, it’s difficult to know where to begin, but let’s tackle a few of the quotes: First he blames these companies who have “built multibillion dollar industries on the back of our content without paying for it.” Complementary goods are natural for building bigger markets, but no one expects one side to pay the other just for moral reasons. The oil industr...

Dirty Fucking Hippies Have a Point
2007-12-07 18:20:00 1967. The Grateful Dead talk about the hippies' rejection of the Greatest Generation's values and world view. They reject working for a paycheck, social, racial and global inequality. Frustrated by the world as they find it, they drop out.It's been going on in one form or another since the dawn of the time.The only thing that will reverse it is the inability of their withdrawl to be successful. Their inability to find the space and the financial means to achieve their goal. A small, local, peaceful community in which they are free to be themselves, free from the imposition of beliefs and goals which are not there own.In some ways, it is harder now, than it was then, financially, to withdraw from the world.Excellent piece.

17 Hippies, Di Grine Kuzine e Polkaholix - Folk Alemã, Pois Então!
2007-11-02 13:19:00 Três bons exemplos de como a folk - de influências várias - está bem viva na Alemanha são os três grupos de que se fala hoje no RaÃzes e Antenas: os 17 Hippies (na foto), os Polkaholix e os Di Grine Kuzine, todas elas com a sua base estabelecida em Berlim. Com uma música quase sempre muito boa quase sempre, sempre, para dançar, e de preferência com grandes canecas de cerveja a acompanhar.17 HIPPIES«HEIMLICH»Hipster RecordsOs 17 Hippies são uma trupe berlinense nascida em 1995 que consegue - e usando apenas um naipe alargadÃssimo de instrumentos acústicos (desde europeus a asiáticos e africanos) e de vozes - fazer uma música hiper-diversificada, que soa a mil estilos misturados mas sempre muitÃssimo bem. Em «Heimlich», o seu álbum deste ano, pode encontrar-se música balcânica com blues e klezmer e loucura free-jazz, uma balada em francês que ora soa a Pink Floyd ora a Penguin Cafe Orchestra, música ranchera mexicana mas tocada como se o México ficasse situad...

Dia de camisas hippies
2007-06-29 00:42:00 K1K3Me siento raro por postear estos temas que no estan tan acordes al diseño grafico, pero si yo no hago reir a mis lectores, ¿quien lo hara?, ¿Tuffy?Bueno, para empezar les contare como estuvo mi dia en el cecati. Para comenzar llegue una hora antes de que la clase comenzara (tengo esa mania de llegar antes de tiempo a mis citas). Para muchos esta actitud de "chico responsable" es algo muy anticuado y estupido, pero asi es como funciono y no hay de otra. Tambien dire que mi proyecto de hacer unas camisas en serigrafia, exactamente en seleccion de color (para los que sepan de esto me daran la razon de que la exactitud es indispensable) y para mi mala suerte el pulpo estaba descalibrado y en mal estado, por lo que imprimir mis camisas fue imposible, y en su lugar me estrene una camisa que teñi con anilina, lo cual provoco que otros compañeros se pusieran las suyas tambien (por cierto, la de chuchin estuvo un poco simple y la de Irving es digna de estar en el museo de Barbie [es...
Haute Hippies
2007-06-21 16:47:00 Both the New York Times and Style.com are reporting the return of hippie chic, and I couldn't be happier. What better time way to celebrate the Summer Solstice and the fortieth anniversary of the Summer of Love than to break out my floor-length, cream-colored, hooded and intricately bodiced authentic 1970s sun dress, a pair of weathered platforms, and Pearl by Janis Joplin?Just the other day, I was considering heading up to Jimi Hendrix's grave, which happens to be less than an hour from here, in a nondescript town in Western Washington.The Whitney Museum's Summer of Love show is, according to Style.com, "a buzzy cocktail of record jackets, spin paintings, and... electro-bright furniture."The Times profiles musician Kim Matulova and her adoration of and emulation of Janis Joplin, calling her style "a departure from the structured shapes and rigorous geometry of the current ?60s wave... blithely improvised, unencumbered and emphatically fluid."The look is having a booming comebac...

An Irrational Fear of Hippies
2007-06-20 15:49:00 There’s something in what the newly-unmasked Digby (and I pictured her so, and just as eloquent) says about the reaction the progressive blogosphere stirs in mainstream media and Beltway consulting types. We are an enigma, she said yesterday, that stirs an irrational fear of passion and discourse - and freaky hippiedom - in our economic rivals, which is to say, those whose livelihoods are threatened by an unwashed horde of hemp-wearing, knuckle-dragging English lit types with free lovin’ access to mind-bending drugs and keyboards. Digby’s unveiling yesterday as a charming, reasonable, erudite woman in her middle years from Santa Monica (but didn’t we already know this?) was the most dramatic event at a conference of liberals marred only by the offensive booing of the likely Democratic nominee by Republican operatives who had infiltrated the hall. Okay, some may have been Naderites - or Bloombergers as they’re more currently known - erstwhile liberals wh...
