@TheMelodyjean

I've actually come to realize what your saying about no cameras, It's a spiritual gathering.

[AlabamaRiverMan]

@light7est

Sure... it's a spiritual gathering... thats why there is no video of any of the spiritual stuff here. I shoot the fun stuff that happens at mine and my friends kitchens. I'm not filming people praying or people in sweat lodges. You also don't see any video or photo's of people smoking because I do respect people's privacy. Everyone in these video's was asked if they minded being photographed of filmed.

[light7est]

@AlabamaRiverMan

Yeah that sounds fine then,I'm just trying to get both views on the aspect. if the people are good with it it's good. But anyways I love your video and the song! I had to go download it :)

[AlabamaRiverMan]

@TheMelodyjean

And thats your opinion. Almost all the video I shoot is in our own kitchen and of the people who came with us. I don't just randomly shoot video of strangers walking by.

[AlabamaRiverMan]

@TheMelodyjean

I always make up my own rules. Sorry if you don't like it stay the hell away from our kitchen

[TheMelodyjean]

WAKE UP.DO YOUR RESEARCH.SEEK YOUR ELDERS ON RAINBOW, RAP SHEETS.GET THE RIGHT INFORMATION, I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS, WILL NEVER BE.CHIEFS ARE DYING AND THE INDIANS, ARE RUNNING AMUCK.

[AlabamaRiverMan]

@TheMelodyjean

This has been going on long before I showed up with a video camera. And why, out of the thousands of rainbow gathering video's on youtube do you choose to attack me?

[lespaul10]

I was at the 1984 Gathering...MT Shasta CA. ...craziest time of my life.....that whole summer was the craziest time of my life.

[AlabamaRiverMan]

@lespaul10

Never been to the Mt Shasta gathering but I have heard it's a really good one. One day maybe.

[000butterfly000]

Sweeeet Kitchen River Man...I have had the pleasure of rainbow since 96' Its a beautiful experience and keep on truckin with your free love and feedin the hungry...The whole point of RAINBOW...is free exchange..and no one in power..just an encompassed counsil for the legal fo poua..like forest service and FBI involvement... Ever heard of "Useless" Freebot...or camp CALM??

[AlabamaRiverMan]

@000butterfly000

Thanks! We've been at it since 1995 NM with our first kitchen. I love every minute of it! I've never heard of "Useless" but of course I have heard of C.A.L.M. if we are talking about the same place.

[mujiel]

@TheMelodyjean who are you to make rules at these free-spirited gatherings?

[TheKitch777]

@TheMelodyjean Relax. 

[AlabamaRiverMan]

@TheMelodyjean

Oh... I wanted to add... Thank you for being a voice. In the 15 years I have been going to Rainbow gatherings, setting up the Sweet Om Alabama kitchen and feeding thousands of hungry hippies for free in the woods... you are the first person I have ever heard complain about video being shot at a gathering. Maybe you should make that your life's mission to stamp out video at rainbow.

[TheMelodyjean]

@AlabamaRiverMan THE TV CAMERAS, ARE NOT ALLOWED.WE ARE NOT ALLOWED,TO RECORD! THE SIGNAL FROM THE MACHINE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO HIT THE DELICATE CENTER OF THE HEART CIRCLE.CELL PHONES, RADIOS, COME ON............AM I REALLY ALONE HERE? WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE RAINBOWS, WITH THE OLD INFO? CUZ THESE NEW ONES, ARE TRYING TO COMMERCIALIZE ON THIS......YEAH YOU.

[AlabamaRiverMan]

@TheMelodyjean

And where do you get your information about rules of rainbow gatherings?

[light7est]

@TheMelodyjean

Hey man if there were no video cameras, how would outsiders get a good perspective of how the rainbows do there thing?

[light7est]
