Unfortunate Fact
Nimbin Mardi GRASS
|
MardiGrass XVI is under way!
The 2008 Program is nearly finalised!
"What may lie before us we do not know, nor how long the journey, but this we do know; That truth is our companion, that truth is with us in the battle, and that truth must win."
Robert Menzies, September 1939,
referring to a real war.
WELCOME
to our SPINACH
LAW REFORM RALLY AND PARADE Weekend!
"Hi there,
I am Dana Larsen, the author of the article you linked to about Popeye’s spinach being a metaphor for marijuana. I saw the reply you posted from Bobby London, denying that there was any connection between spinach and cannabis. Of course, he is not the creator of Popeye and there’s no reason he would have any more insight into the thought processes of Popeye creator Segar than anyone else.I thought your readers might like to see this Popeye cover (at right) from October 1939, drawn by Joseph Musial. I only came across this cover recently, after I had written the original article posted on Alternet. The comic cover shows Popeye lounging among pillows in an Arabian sort of tent, smoking out of a hookah labelled “Spinach.”This cover illustration shows that, to at least some people involved in the early formation of the Popeye comics, the spinach/marijuana connection was obvious, and not something they were ashamed of, as King Comics put it prominently on the cover.Thank you for your attention."
No Joke.
On April Fools Day 2008 over 70 Police, some in full riot gear, accompanied by Lismore Council Officers, raided the Museum, Hemp Embassy and Hemp Bar seeking something strong enough to close these premises down. They wouldn't use that many police to arrest a murderer, so the politics are obvious. This is freedom versus control, and I would hope most people would see the historical disasters of controllers like Hitler and Stalin, or even unchecked overzealous paranoid security agencies and think seriously of the implications for the future. Our controllers are frequently more dangerous to survival than freedom. Have a good war? As Ralph would say,"That's unpossible!"

Proclamation
All self recognised Knights Hemplar and Dharma Farmers are called on a Religious Crusade to Nimbin, home of the Church of the Holy Smoke, to all meet there on the First Weekend in May, in the Year Sixteen of our MardiGrass, to participate in all the Sacred Ceremonies of the Holy Smoke, and smoke the Pipes of Peace.
It is Thirty Nine Years since the Death of Hippie in San Francisco; followed by the Resurrection of his Spirit in a thousand smiling faces. That Smile spread through the Sandstone Nations in a Decade of Optimism. Since then the Fog of Mammon has spread. Still we perform the Ceremonies and remember the Martyrs imprisoned for their private observances.
Make your way past the gathering Orcs. Come to the Aquarian Shrine. Celebrate with Herb and Friends. Pay Homage to the Bountiful Seed. Debate, Discuss, Learn and Socialise. Compete in the Hemp Olympix or Nimbin Cannabis Cup. March in the Anti Prohibition Procession. Be peacefully free. Make your mark in the Book of MardiGrass.
Of course, we expect exhemplary behaviour from our pilgrims. Good heart to you all.
Wednesday the 30th of April is Samhain for the Southern Hemispere. The Festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is generally regarded as 'The Celtic New Year'.
Thursday is May Day, which marks the end of winter in the Northern hemisphere, and it has traditionally been an occasion for popular and often raucous celebrations, regardless of the locally prevalent political or religious establishment. For Australia, it is the beginning of winter, but is still celebrated.
Nimbin Markets - Dates and Stall Booking
Hello Ganja Faeries!
Yes, that means you! If you come to march at the annual MardiGrass Cannabis Law Reform March and Rally, and you can dance, you’re one of us!
We’re a bunch of friends who start getting ready each year around March or April for the MardiGrass, the first weekend in May. The common thread is green, in all its shades, in all our styles. Ganja Faeries are all different but the same. We create dance steps for the grand parade where we can be a sea of green moving in rhythm to the drums. We sew our costumes and make them wilder every year.
One week before MardiGrass we hold a dance workshop where we show all the new ganja faeries the steps and inspire them to wear costumes. We do it again the day before the parade (Saturday arvo) to make sure everyone knows which way to go when. It’s lots of fun but you need to be fit because on the day it’s a long way to dance and frolic and make lots of noise from the police station down the hill to Peace Park and you’ll probably be stoned as well. Water is essential. Dropping out is not an option. Ganja Faeries go to the end. So come and practice!
Workshops will be held at the Nimbin Community Centre dance studio the Saturday a week before MardiGrass, then the Saturday before the parade, in the afternoons. If you are already in Nimbin rehearsals are held at 5:30pm on Wednesdays. Meet at the Spangled Drongo restaurant / Oasis café across the road at the north end of town.
