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 soundbite of the decade: "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out." It
was the original Gathering of the Tribes, and although it was actually
a relatively modest event of 10-15000 or so people, it catalyzed 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 cyberculture
and dot-com insanity, a celebratory laboratory of ideas and ideals, a
one-night tradeshow-rally-rave that put the visionaries on stage, the
inventors behind their inventions, and gave the artists free reign to
morph reality itself"....... Michael Gosney - Blog . 2004
