We are the New Hippies: PodCamp – part II
Hippies had "happenings" – semi-planned free form events.
Sounds like PodCamp.
Hippies networked extensively.
Sounds like PodCamp.
Hippies tried to change the world and arguably made it a better place. Or was the world changing and they were in its midst?
The world IS changing rapidly, and the people at PodCamp understand that and are in its midst (no one, and everyone, controls the flow of information today).
Hippies were into music bigtime.
Sounds like PodCamp.
The Hippies faded away as a group but left a legacy of increased awareness of self and environment and a bunch of other stuff.
The terms "podcast," "wiki," and "blog" will eventually become anachronisms, but only the terms, not the end results.
Hippies had free love, lots of marijuana, and ate lots of LSD.
PodCamp? Ehhh, well, it was a blast and we had uppers and downers (coffee and beer).
We are the NeoInfoHippies – viva the revolution baby :)
(part I here)
Coffee and beer are old school, my friend. Nowadays it's Red Bull and Vodka :) Many thanks for being part of the revolution. As I said at the UnKeynote Friday night, Boston is no stranger to revolution - and you're just the guy to write a book about it!

Thanks, Ted. You were truly at the core of that revolution. Glad you were there, because it was the first one. You were there.
Yeah.

Great job co-founders!
I've gotten a couple of emails commenting on NeoInfoHippieChicks.
One said, "Fine indeed, but more please next time." Another said "As a NeoInfoHippie-Chick, I was excited to participate, but I'd love to see more women there and will help encourage more to attend next time."
I'll respect their anonymity!

I'm a HippieChick (tm) and I was there.
I liked having lots of men there(especially my husband) but thought the male-female ratio was far better than the "techie" conferences, and that led to better dynamics and interaction
