Let's consider looking into and going to this! Put on by the People Against Poverty & Apathy.
A description of the festival reads:
P.A.P.A Festival β June 23-25, 2006. The People Against Poverty and Apathy Festival is a convergence of communities and movements coming together to share, dream, and create. Several hundred folks from across the country will be camping out in the hills of TN in a little village of subversive friendships to conspire together in learning workshops, roundtable talks, over campfires, and on hikes through the woods.
Morning sessions will be geared toward teaching, bible studies, and panel discussions, pondering things like community, theology and peacemaking. In the afternoons, we will have workshops and how-to sessions where folks can explore anything from knitting and bike repair to drumming and carpentry. The evenings will have some inspiring music, circus festivities, and storytelling.
PAPA Fest is a completely different feel from your average conference or music festival, as it is a little village that will be dependent on the joy and work of all of us. It is being organized entirely by voluntary effort, no paid staff, and will be funded by donations of those of us excited by and committed to it⦠Further, we will not be charging admission for the gathering to assure that everyone is able to make it to the celebration.

When traveling by boat, sit as close to the middle of the vessel as possible.
