The Texas Regional Rainbow Gathering is underway in East Texas. Campers have set up tents similar to these, and the event will run for about two weeks.
The Rainbow Family says on its website it's sometimes referred to as the largest non-organization of non-members in the world. They have no leaders, and no organization. And they say, "To be honest, the Rainbow Family means different things to different people. I think it's safe to say we're into intentional community building, non-violence, and alternative lifestyles. We also believe that Peace and Love are a great thing, and there isn't enough of that in this world. Many of our traditions are based on Native American traditions, and we have a strong orientation to take care of the the Earth. We gather in the National Forests yearly to pray for peace on this planet."

It's no secret that alcohol strips away inhibitions. Maybe there are a few things that you can't do sober, but once you have a few beers you're an expert and ready to enter a national competition.
Like pool. I don't drink much anymore because it gives me migraines, but back in the day I was a pool sharp-shooter after a few rum and Diet Cokes. Without any alcohol at all I was terrible at pool. And you? Are you better at karaoke after a few drinks? That's what many people say, and it's one of the top answers on a new survey.
