=== PHILOSOPHY ===
From the 888 to the 789, hitchikers think that the event is more to promote the concept of Hitch-hiking rather than to all meet up somewhere and have a good time and just drink. This is why the proposal of meeting outside a city was ruled out: we want to be seen by strangers and make some actions in the city ; for example at the 789 in Odessa, we have done a flashmobs about hitchiking to somewhere special and next try to get a lift to the event's place.
===New fancy name for 2010?===
Moved to [[6810/Name]].
===Kamenica, [[Kosovo]]TASK LIST===*+: We have a great contact there that can find us a space and get us the media.*+: Would be a really cool challenge.*+: Hitchhiking for peace!*+: The big Hammam (Hamami i Mahd), built in 1470, 15 domes, but no mix male female*-: The border crossing is a bit difficult / event may become slightly political*-: Hitchhiking in Montenegro... forget it (unless you give money) [is it? [[User:Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] and his friend managed it easily and extremely fast in May, 2008]. Also Serbia is quite hard [since when? The only problem seems to be wild camping because of the goddamn mines!].*-: 11 205 hab in Kamenica, why not Pristina, for much attention ?: because we do not a have a great local correspondant there. The local correspondant in Kamonica knows all the networks so no need to go to Pristina.
