Book excerpt: Scott and Sandy Blackman have been attending the Oregon Country Fair since 1972, when it was called the Oregon Renaissance Fair. This book highlights the Fair from their point of view as visitors. The book includes other photographers' images and their recollections. The Blackmans interviewed Fair Family members, staff, and vendors. They consulted Suzi Prozanski's book, "Fruit of the Sixties: The Founding of the Oregon Country Fair," reviewed the organization's historical materials from Fair Family News, The Peach Pit, the Fair's displays at the Elder's Still Living Room, and the History Gallery. Using these resources, they compiled a short summary of the Fair's evolution over five decades, but they state they have only skimmed the surface. For a more in-depth history of the first ten years, they recommend you read Suzi Prozanski's book.

Download or read book Well Met written by Rachel Lee Rubin and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-02-22 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Renaissance Faire—a 50 year-long party, communal ritual, political challenge and cultural wellspring—receives its first sustained historical attention with Well Met. Beginning with the chaotic communal moment of its founding and early development in the 1960s through its incorporation as a major “family friendly” leisure site in the 2000s, Well Met tells the story of the thinkers, artists, clowns, mimes, and others performers who make the Faire. Well Met approaches the Faire from the perspective of labor, education, aesthetics, business, the opposition it faced, and the key figures involved. Drawing upon vibrant interview material and deep archival research, Rachel Lee Rubin reveals the way the faires established themselves as a pioneering and highly visible counter cultural referendum on how we live now—our family and sexual arrangements, our relationship to consumer goods, and our corporate entertainments. In order to understand the meaning of the faire to its devoted participants,both workers and visitors, Rubin has compiled a dazzling array of testimony, from extensive conversations with Faire founder Phyllis Patterson to interviews regarding the contemporary scene with performers, crafters, booth workers and “playtrons.” Well Met pays equal attention what came out of the faire—the transforming gifts bestowed by the faire’s innovations and experiments upon the broader American culture: the underground press of the 1960s and 1970s, experimentation with “ethnic” musical instruments and styles in popular music, the craft revival, and various forms of immersive theater are all connected back to their roots in the faire. Original, intrepid, and richly illustrated, Well Met puts the Renaissance Faire back at the historical center of the American counterculture.

Download or read book Calling All Musicians written by Lightning Source and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has taken forty years of living, loving, sorrow, laughter and thirty extra pounds to make me feel like a woman; having a really great muse doesnat hurt either. Inspiration is highly underrated. I used to think body image was everything; now I know it is self image that dictates who we are. This book of poetry was inspired by a most unusual muse: a man I have never even met. I see myself in my muse as easily as I see the blue in my eyes. I know this man on a soul level. I know most people wonat believe that, but that doesnat mean it isnat true. Faith and free will are amazing gifts. Imagination is not only for children. I never understood when people would say, aI just know, a until I heard his music. Yes, he is a musician. Something in his music just makes me feel like I know him. I am a tiny speck in this beautiful universe, and that suits me just fine because there are six billion other tiny specks just waiting to be bumped into. As for the title, well, I have faith most of you will figure it out. I grow weary explaining my poetry to people as they have forgotten how to believe. This is a love story, my love story.
