Most work on the site was done in Europe, often between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM Central European Time. The
pages have dark backgrounds to reduce eyestrain and are ideal for low light room conditions. Dark shades of
Turquoise color were used because Turquoise color represents light that arises after hopelessness. And the
light of hope arose for hippies with the 1969 Woodstock Festival.
To know where we’re going, we have to understand where we’ve been. In that spirit this website was built. At
first, it was made for folks the author had met in his travels abroad, who didn't understand the influence 1960s
and hippies had on our modern culture. The site has also become a source of first hand information about
1960-70s hippies and the author's personal experiences, among other things.
Some reasons for the creation of the site
because many websites on the subject were made by people that were too young in the 1960s to
understand what was going on, weren't born yet or were not hippies themselves,
because the media portrays of the 1960s is often an image created to serve conservative corporate
propaganda interests,
because the author's experiences were different from those of others,
to prevent destortion of facts about hippies and 1960s Peace movement,
to contribute to the global community,
to create a personal home site on the Web,
to tell about the author's experiences,
to preserve the spirit and ideas that are dear to hippies,
and other reasons.
