and i lived in 3 hippy comunes for a spell, its all relative.

i spent almost 10 years on the road off and on, mostly i came back

home in the winters and took to the road agin in the spring, but your

right, i learned all i can from the road, there is no since in me

going back to it.

I'm female.

I always avoided the national gatherings because I can't handle crowds.

Same with dead shows (though I went to a couple in the early 1980s before I

realized I just couldn't take the crowd.) I only went to the gatherings

that attracted a couple hundred people or fewer and just moved from

gathering to gathering all year long. It was much better than being

homeless, which was my other alternative at that point. Well, another

alternative would have been to get myself put back in the mental hospital,

but I'd rather be homeless.

I lived for a year and a half in a commune and it was a complete nightmare!

Never again!

The times when I was homeless and sleeping in the public library (hidden

behind a book) by day and awake all night, eating out of dumpsters was less

stressful for me than living in an urban hippie commune!
