THERE IS A
NEW LADYFEST EMAIL LIST FOR RIDE and ACCOMODATION SHARING!
LOTS OF PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN WRITING ASKING US TO HOOK THEM UP WITH OTHER LADYFEST-BOUND
FOLKS, SO WE MADE THIS LIST FOR YOU TO FIND EACH OTHER.
SUBSCRIBE
SAFETY
STUFF! IMPORTANT
While this
list is provided by Ladyfest, we may or may not know the people
posting on it. Ladyfest is in no way liable for situations and
arrangements resulting from this list.
Here are
some tips for avoiding scary strangers.
** Try to make more than e-mail contact with your potential ride
or house host.
** Ask your questions, like who are they, and why are they offering
this ride or sleeping place. You can ask indirectly also by paying
attention to their response when you say "Thanks so much for offering
to do this."
** If your staying overnight in a strange house, get the phone
number and address and give it to a friend. Better yet, try to
bring a friend with you.
**** When talking with your potential host/ride, PAY ATTENTION
TO YOUR GUT INSTINCTS. If something feels funny or wierd,
it probably is. We're taught not to listen to our own intution.
But intution can be one of your greatest safety meters.

ABOUT
OLYMPIA
The hospitality
committee is working on getting together all the info you need while
in Olympia, and will assemble it into fliers that will be available
at the festival. Here is information on getting to Olympia and accomodations
once you're here. If you plan to stay in a hotel, we STRONGLY urge you
to reserve a room ahead of time, as it gets very crowded during the
summer!
We're working on
a message board for you to connect with other ladyfest-bound people
to share rides/accomodations with, which should be up within a week
(6/5/00).

What is 'Ladies
We Like' about?
There are tons of ladies who have made important contributions to art,
music, literature, politics, science, our lives (moms!), etc. and there's
no way we could honor them all with performance/discussion/exhibit at
ladyfest, so we made a place here to do so. The inspiration section
is open to anyone. Please take time to write something about your entry
that will be meaningful to visitors to the ladyfest site. Please do
not try to email pictures as attachments!! Send me a link to where the
picture is located on the web.
ie. "*~*~*~*@*!~ommigod!!! (band name here)
rULEz*~@~~*@*~" is not what we have in mind. And please
don't feel limited by the categories we've created, add your own! Try
to include links so we can find out more about your entry if you know
of any.
