pgrange -> RE: Does OWK really exist? (6/10/2006 8:39:05 PM)

I'd like to see something like the OWK in the states as well, or at least something inspired by it. It seems to me that the main obstacle to such a thing happening is the idea that you need a piece of land for the project. That makes it very expensive and impractical, and vulnerable to harassment. The alternative would be to think of the OWK as more of an attitude, or a state of mind, that exists when people get together and agree to behave in certain ways. Instead of having "an OWK" on a plot of land, we could have "OWK days" or "OWK weekends" in various places at various times. The idea would be to get together somewhere, anywhere we can, and live as if we were at the actual OWK in the Czech Republic. Different groups could put them on and control them however they wanted -- they could decide what the rules would be, who would be allowed to come, how things would be paid for, and so on. In a perfect world, these events would be almost like leather events or fetish parties -- things that happen from time to time, in various parts of the country. I read that some women in Kansas City were planning on doing something similar to this, but I don't know if they did it, or how it turned out.
