SSHH 99 Letters

John,
I was Fortunate enough to attend The SSHH Festival last year in 1999. I had a Blast!!!!
We are planning to attend this year as well!!! Although, there wasn't as many people as I expected, and the Disco Bisquits didn't show up, but for as many people we had there, we made the best of it. I will never forget that time!!!! Mr. Gault, You might have lost a little $ over that whole deal, But the times I had there are unforgettable. Since then, I have moved to Las Vegas with my Girlfriend. But, I will make a point to attend the SSHH festival again this year! Diamond Ray

Hi! I'm, Naomi, one of the two girls who came to the festival from Philadelphia. You might remember us-we got there really early. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that we had a great time at the festival, and I hope you do it again next year. Everyone I talked to there also said that they were having fun and that they would definitely do it again next year. I have one suggestion for getting more people to know about it. I got about four or five flyers for other similar festivals this year from some of the vendors, and maybe if you just printed a bunch out and gave them to vendors who are traveling to other festivals, they could distribute them to people who are interested in the cause. Also, you could just give flyers to people who are going to various protests, gatherings, concerts, etc. Just an idea. Well, I hope that you were able to have a good time despite the small number of people. I really enjoyed it, and, because there weren't all that many people, we got to meet and talk with just about everyone there. Just one more thing...I really admire you and everyone who worked on the festival and all of the awesome bands (those who showed up!) and speakers for working so hard and being so dedicated to the cause. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out. Maybe we'll run into you on July 4th or somewhere else. Good luck in all future endeavors. ~Peace~ Naomi

John and Sue,
How do you do!? We had an absolute BLAST at the shindig- What's the deal with the financial gouge- are you set up as a non-profit? Would you like some of my stickers? I probally should have left some for you... Are you going to be going to any of the HAPPENINGS? We are from Kalamazoo Michigan, , but hopefully we will be in touch and see each other before roach roast. Let us know if there is any way we can help you all with what you're going. Love, peace and plenty of happy green nugs to you two,
Elizabeth

John,
Too Cool. I had a great time. You should do it again... . Jay

John,
Just wanted to let you know that my wife and I really enjoyed the concert this weekend. Don't be discouaraged by the small turnout, your message still got out. Hope your able to do it again next year. Thank you. Peace, Redeyes

Mr. Galt:
First off, I want to congratulate you on putting together the Freedom Festival. From what I gathered from the web page print-out I recieved, you pretty much did it all yourself. Stellar work!

I've reviewed the footage we shot last weekend, and it's pretty good considering the short notice and low audience levels at the time we were there. I don't know if you do any more of these festivals, but we would be interested in professionally filming/documenting events like the one last weekend in the future. Enjoy the ride! Dave

Station019,
Congradulations on a succesful festival. I will definately be sending in a donation, and hope to participate in many more. If you need any help organizing next years or could use another super band, just send me an email.
Peace, Erykaa

Hi. I just want to tell you that I really enjoyed the festival and so did
the two boys that I traveled with. Please tell John Galt. I am very sorry
that you two lost so much money and I wish I had money to give you. The
purpose of this letter (besides to tell you that I had a great time) is to
tell you that I'm a girl. Let me explain: I read your view of the festival
and I noticed that you wrote about me and friends and how we hitchhiked from
Vermont. My two friends are boys and I'm a girl, you wrote that all three of
us were boys. No big deal, I'm used to it because of my name. Just thought
you'd like to know. The journey was half the adventure too. This was my
first time hitchhiking (not so for the boys) so I was a little nervous but
very excited. We met some really cool people and one guy even bought us
lunch because we had no money. This whole adventure has made me realize that
although there are a lot of mean people in the world, the love generated by
all the kind people outshines all the anger. Thank you and John for
inspiring me to make this journey, physically and spiritually.

Breathe deep and seek peace. Love Morgan
