PolyFAIR
Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada
 PolyFAIR is an evolution in Alternative Living - featuring music, art, dance, writers and production people. We also had mechanics, electrics’ and aviation. We do what we do. Some like/don’t - doesn’t matter what/who - might as well just do (poetic license). PolyFAIR is a new/improved ‘soon to be released’ Alternative format. Earlier ‘communes’ had no names but had development inertia that landed many players in Halls of Fame.
___
Having come from generational teachings - even turning down requests from universities to teach music in my 20’s (Poly would be too dangerous in their legislated Christian culture) - here’s an old adage that sums up the fundamental PolyFAIR incentive.
___
‘If you’re friends don’t make you feel like dancing and singing, their not really your friends’
___
People come through generations and not experience an environment like that so they don’t have a comparison. Music (Art) is inherently a natural bounce - looking for tones to attach to it. That leads to multicultural interests, which leads to sociability and not war. Music/Art has been outlawed in many places throughout Earth’s history (even now) - punishable by torture or death. If you don’t sing and dance around the house like a little kid it probably has something to do with that. Some of history’s greatest scientific contributions to this planet have come from scientists who were also musicians and artists.
___
Multicultural interests lead to confusion because there are many different versions of how to go about things. You reach a stage where you appreciate the blank wall confusion because all you have left is intuition. Yes, you have to bet the stash on the stars but thus ‘YOU’ are born. If it was already in your history you wouldn’t be looking for alternatives in these listings. Do the math - do people in your history really want you to sing and dance when they’re not allowed to be a Black Sheep - there will be sparks!
___
There’s a Black Sheep syndrome (Statistic) that says 3% of all situations represent the fringe edge that actually undergoes dramatic change - rags to riches, vice versa - any condition or inertia, etc. So you will need 97% inertia to break the prehistoric bonds. I’d call that a 100% commitment. Fire and water just doesn’t mix (that’s a good thing) but you’ll sink into oblivion trying to play the middle.

I like it! Would love to see where you go with this. I think I'll keep ‘If you’re friends don’t make you feel like dancing and singing, their not really your friends’ in my head and bring it out when I need it. Thanks!
