I hope that he is still alive, but I do have my doubts. Anyway, I just wanted to post a gentle reminder to those of us out there that still read this community what it was based on and why it's important.THE THEORY**( Read more...Collapse )**I can't speak for anyone else in the community but this is the only Tool community that I am a member of. I, like Cthulu, grew tired of the crap that always happened in my favorite of tool communities. All of my favorites are deleted and gone because of shit that happened between the moderator(s) and members. And yet this one remains, but unactive.So bring about action, if you've got any.Just remember the theory. | | | | | | Post | | | | | |

Check out the Rainbow convention!All hippie, gutterpunk, fruits and skank trade... With a twist of LSD and musical entertainment.Om circles containing thousands (diminishing over the years). All wishing for peace.Free food from any kitchen, and whatever donations you have will just add too your karma!NO ALCOHOL!!!! unless you chill at A Camp (not recommended). A Camp is the alcoholics who cause trouble outside the circle to keep the FEDS out of the event. No alcohol does not mean logical euphoria is banned! For those, or people like me, If you want to drink... Keep the bottle hidden... If not, you'll be told where to take it.Follow the rules that the Federal Wildlife Marshals give! If they tell you not to dig a hole for a fire pit... DON'T DO IT!Wear foot protection at all time... I always wear my nice waterproof Timberlands.Know your plants. You don't wanna be poisoned.RESPECT THE ELDERS!!! The more you listen and help em' out... The more entertainment you'll receive!Don't ask for drugs... It's just shady and pathetic.LOOK FOR THE DRUG FREE ZONE! They usually stick to kitchens, and most kitchens, if you help out enough will invite you into the drug free zone. Doctors and nurses are usually around to give advice or soothe most simple ailments... Look for C.A.L.M. All medical treatment is free of charge, but if you're truely badly fucked up.... Go to the damn hospital!The conventions are usually, and most likely kept under close watch by Federal Wildlife Marshals and the FBI... So that means don't park your car with anything stupid in possession unless you know what you're doing!The last gathering was in Northwest Arkansas, and the next regional (Aug 15th- ??) is in Maine... Maines first gathering, and that is backed by an international somewhere in Ontario, Canada.Any rainbows interested??? Check the sites out, And for those who like to take trips in small squares, or by the mouthful from little eyedroppers... I suggest helping out the kitchen Bare Necessities !So just click the link and learn more! | | | | | | Post | | | | | |

Perhaps I should count my blessings? We've had far fewer wars and bickerings that other tool comms. Is this from all the disconnected ends?I know I'm rambling. I know this isn't tool related. So it shall be:disintegrating as it goes testing our communicationthe light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us sowe cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication. cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed loversbetween supposed brothers.And I know the pieces fit. | | | | | | Read 1 - Post | | | | | |

We bounced and played in this new found freedom. All around us people and fans were fighting tooth and nail.We were the lifeboat to a tidal wave of fleeing refugees when two gangly, stick lesbians overtook the bodies of what could have been sane, thoughtful persons. I can't quite remember if that community is still working? Hyperbole?I believe strongly, though this is lj and fun for the masses, that this community is and shall remain a good place, a safe place... free of lightning and dictators and creepy fish persons. I may disagree with things you say but I doubt it will turn into a mud slinging free-for-all... much less, me banning people or telling them to go elsewhere. I'll just eat you. If you don't know what I mean when I say this, go read "Call of Cthulhu" by HP Lovecraft and maybe you will come to know and love these stories as I have. This is a tangent of course...At one time I had personally greeted everyone who joined at their journals... but then I went away for a while and came back to a large volume of new members in my absence. It's good to know that you have all taken to heart that even though I created this thing, I am not the moderator... I just set the damn thing up. We all should take care to not preserve what there is here, but allow it grow and not to become infected or harbour hatred and alienate people. I feel this has been done. Butterflydamage and Doesanyoneknow and Hyperbole and whoever else was here took command and thanked and welcomed as much as their hearts swelled to see so many people joining our wild dance of freedom.I can't tell you how long I've waited to see a group of people obsessed/in love/ enchanted by Tool to come together and not bicker and argue, but talk. Since bloodycake and toolerapc had caused some problems, I found that you two have helped us grow as well. Though I didn't agree with the things you've done or said, I don't feel any animosity from you or towards you. Don't get me wrong here, though, those were mistakes... and we should all learn from these... and history must not repeat itself for you should end us all that way.In timing with the next release, I feel it's time to reflect on what has been. Looking back and smiling and pondering. I have always felt that if those people who had hurt us, or were the cause of our flights, could always join us. No hatred. No battering. Just people coming together to honor this music that makes us feel whole or makes our energy pure or gives us that sense of hope and peace. Not pry, but open our third eyes.The following is, of course, very optional:I don't know if there's an anniversary date or whatever, but since the coming alive of my passion renewed by the last APC concert I attended, I have been wanting to open it all up. Bring it all out. Come together and share. SHare with pictures! [pity the dial up and lj-cut peas and carrots] Share your experiences. Come awake! Tell us all your thoughts and beginnings. It can be apc or tool or if you feel compelled, anyone else. It can be dreams, stories, fantasies... let it all meander and swim.In light of recent members, and reactions and multitudes of comments, just open up and let us in. Is your third eye open? Psychic experiences, religious meanings, hidden thoughts, or, you know, ~~**ALIUM THEORIUMS**~~!!! Tell us about it! It's a big meet and greet! Hold your lights high for all to see...Glow,Children,GLOW.I am but a way, and headed home.~Your Friend and squishy elder god,-Cthulhu. | | | | | | Read 4 - Post | | | | | |

I'm new to live journal, so i figured i'd join some communities. Well, being a singer and lyricist myself, i cant help but to be overwhelmed in fascination by Tool. It's mainly the messages and notes which Maynard hits that compells me to listen and comprehend. It's also the rhythm of the music and it's grungy soundwhich sets it apart from all the other music ive found to date. I'd love to find Tool fans who are as captivated as me, which I'm sure there are a few here. Spiral Out... | | | | | | Read 1 - Post | | | | | |
