48 Members... and no conversation?

topic posted Fri, September 23, 2005 - 6:29 PM by  Jason
I was complaining to my boyfriend... "A cool idea for a tribe... but no one actually posts anything... boooring." I was admittedly shocked when he suggested I take part of the responsibility for the lack of activity, what with me being a member and all!!
I don't suppose I've actually ever introduced myself properly. Hello, Queer Nomads - I'm Jason, and I'm also a Queer Nomad!
Right now, we're hanging out in northern Wisconsin gathering the fruits of our (though mostly the bf's!) labor in the garden. Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes! Salsa, pizza, spaghetti, tomato pie, frozen, canned, dehydrated... We're running out of ideas, but the tomatoes keep coming! This year we grew yellow ones, white ones, purple ones, green ones, orange ones, and, of course, several type of red ones!
We're working on efficient ways to preserve the goodies from the garden so as not to spend as much money on feeding ourselves when we're away. But living in a truck means space and weight considerations... Constant challenges, the both of 'em!
We're next out to the D.C. area to visit with friends and work some, too. We'll be there until the middle of November or so - until we decide how we want to end up in Chicago to sell Christmas trees!
Where is everyone else? Y'all ever thought about a 'gathering' or something? Holla!

    i'm damien-
    i guess i am actually more of a homo hobo, though queer nomad also fits. i have spent years traveling with anarcho-punk kids and crusties around the country, hopping trains and hitching.
    i have settled in portland for the fall and winter. last spring i posted a few and never got any responses. i figure that most of the members of this tribe consider "queer nomad" to be much different than anything that really fits my lifestyle.
    i guess most people might also figure that i was just a bum and might be more inclined to be the kind of trouble they want to avoid. i am proud that for the last year, almost all the people who put me up told me i was one of the best house guests they ever had.
    i hope to some day soon have a place to stay where i can offer other travelers a place to stay when they are passing through...

        well i'm gay and travelling around romania at the moment. it's really hard to be gay here. romania is a exceptionally homophobic country. i just came from bulgaria and it was much nicer for gays. it's very strange how differences like that can emerge from countries in very similar historical and cultural situations.

    Okay, i'm going to say my peice, but be forwarned, you probably won't like it.

    First of all, what is the point to blabbering on about what we're up to when any time we say things about how free we're living, the tendency, in the u.s. anyway, is to suddenly find it ILLEGAL.

    So seems to me people are SMART in not posting much, and not giving lots of juicy details about escaping this fuckedup cuntry's norms!

    Jeez, i was surprised i was a member of this (i was going to join just to post this)...

    i know that there *are* other ways, thoughtful ways to talk on this tribe without giving too much to the spooks. So uh, let's ....talk....

    btw, anyone heard of digihitch.com?

      Y'know, that's a good point. I got accepted into this group and said nothing, either!

      So, here goes.
      Hi,

      My name's Thomas, 19, from South Carolina. I'm working at becoming a somewhat established musician. I guess if you're interested you can take a look at my "band" profile (www.myspace.com/fireislandak).
      Anyways,I'm currently spending my last few days relaxing before I head out on the road for about two months to tour N. America (yes, shows in Canada too!). Two months seeing as much as possible, meeting as many people as possible, sleeping on people's floors and camping!
      ...and then I'm moving to Alaska in August.

      It's really nice to see that a group like this exists. The current trends in the "community at large" can be pretty depressing at times.
