The Countryside, The Peasants...

Why is it that as soon as I find a sweet place where cool things happen it burns to the ground?

This is slightly incorrect, I heard about Pan9 at the same time as hearing about how they didn't exist anymore. Here's a page where helping can happen, although most of the big events happened already.

Also, if anyone knows any similiar "hippie communes" with sweet avant music, you should let me know.
