We leave soon for our vacation.
We are staying with and visiting one of my three cousins in Maine.
Then we head up to the North Woods of New Hampshire.
Lancaster NH is right over the Connecticut River from Vermont and under 50 miles South of the Canadian border at Quebec Province.
We are going to PorcFest.
The porcupine is the mascot of the Libertarian party thus the reference and the name PorcFest.
Hubs has wanted to go for a few years now but it never worked out with our schedules. Now that he's retired I told him now or never so we pulled a plan together.
It's a 6 day Festival for people who love liberty and advocate for personal freedom.
Most of the attendees have Libertarian leanings so this is my tribe(other than my frugal online tribe).
There are round table discussions and lectures on everything from economics, political activism, legal issues, bitcoin, technology, political satire, home schooling to branding and marketing.
But it's not all serious stuff.
It's also a big party with lots of fun social activities like RPG and LARP, something called beergasm, demonstrations about beekeeping, a shooting field trip to a range, tiny homes, green practices.
There is a bonfire at the end where we have Burning Porcupine(similar to what they do at Burning Man).
But the one thing I am most looking forward to seeing is Vermin Supreme's show.
If you don't know whom I am referring to, watch this...........
I confess that I am nervous going to this thing. I won't know anyone there but Hubs. I am not into politics really so I am going for the social aspects mostly.
Hubs in the political animal in this family so he'll be in his element.
All the folks on the closed chat group seems very young so in terms of making friends I may be way out of place at this thing.
I'll report back next week on how it was and the wifi may be iffy up there so I may not post much in the coming week.
Wish me luck!
