------Digital Be In 13 / May 29 / SF------

Invitation to Historic Social Consciousness Event.

The original Human Be-In was held on January 14, 1967 in San Francisco's
Golden Gate Park, co-organized by many groups to bridge the philosophical
gap between the Haight Ashbury hippies, who favored peaceful protest to
counter the Vietnam War-mongering, and the Berkeley radicals who
professed a more forceful approach. Playing on the sunlit stage that day at=
the
Polo Fields were the Grateful Dead, along with, as the poster proclaimed, "=
All
San Francisco Rock Bands" plus Allen Ginsberg and other Beats reading
poetry, and Timothy Leary voicing his sound bite of the decade: "Turn On,
Tune In, Drop Out." It was the original Gathering of the Tribes, and althou=
gh it
was actually a relatively modest event of 10-15000 or so people, it catalyz=
ed
the now-legendary Summer of Love in San Francisco and Be-Ins and Sit-Ins
and Love-Ins worldwide. 21st Century NOW " The Be-In evolved and grew
through the '90s from a relatively modest 200 person affair to a spectacle =
of
over 3500 by number 6. It rode the waves of cyber culture and dot-com
insanity, a celebratory laboratory of ideas and ideals, a one-night tradesh=
ow-
rally-rave that put the visionaries on stage, the inventors behind their
inventions, and gave the artists free reign to morph reality itself".......=
