The Gathering is a festival of freedom, dance, music and participation. Your presence creates The Gathering. Take care, we are all responsible for the environment. Be nice humans.

I got this email from a Gatherer named David Montgomery the other day, and I liked it so much I asked him if I could post it here. He agreed, so here it is:
Hi Alison,
I have just watched the Gathering documentary. I was there. Watching those dance scenes just bought on such great feelings. That [...]

A month or so ago I entered The Gathering archives website for the ONYAs web awards. The awards are being organised by the same awesome crew that brings the Webstock web conference to Wellington each year (hi Mike and Tash! You rock!) and this is the first year they’ve done the ONYAs.
The ONYAs celebrate those [...]

Radio New Zealand are re-broadcasting their documentary The Gatherers, which first hit the airwaves back in December. I know from our web stats that heaps of you listened in and got inspired to visit The Gathering Archives website and blog, but just in case you missed it the first time around, or want to hear [...]

Radio New Zealand presents The Gatherers on National Radio, Saturday 29 December at 1.06pm – part of Music 101 with Kirsten Johnstone.
I got an email a few weeks ago from Kirsten Johnstone at Radio New Zealand. She’d seen The Gathering archives website and was so inspired by it that she decided it was high [...]

So I had this brilliant idea as I was heading off to bed last night – all to do with the spoken word.
I was thinking how we don’t have very many stories on the website yet, and that for some people that might be because they don’t like writing stuff down. Or at least, they [...]

The very lovely Simon Kong has put a lovely post up on Obscure today – Archive of Dreams – Unfolding the Gathering story, which includes the memorable quote:
Personally I was involved with five out of the six events and all I have to show for it is a couple of Tech Crew T-shirts, a few [...]

I’ve added scans of the G2000 CD to the site today – they look great! Thanks so much to Andre who spotted a gap in the site, knew he could fill it, and promptly scanned all the various bits of the CD and emailed them to me. You rule, Andre!
I’ve also been working on a [...]

I’ve put a bunch of new photos up on the site from G2000 – taken by Matt Camp who emailed me the other day. They’re great! There are a few taken in Ambient, which is really cool because we didn’t already have any Ambient G2000 pics. Thanks heaps, Matt.
You can access them from the G2000 [...]

So it’s been a couple of days now since The Gathering archives website went live, and the stats are looking very good. What’s interesting to me (and very satisfying from a web author’s point of view) is that, if you visit more than one page on the site (which more than two-thirds of all of [...]
