Austin has a new events space 20 minutes east of downtown: The Hundred Acre Forest Wood. The space has open fields as well as forests and can be booked for just about any kind of event you can imagine. They are currently planning to devote several acres to organic farmland and hope to be self-sustainable by 2010. They also have a fully stocked pond if you feel like fishing.
As of right now their first event will be held on May 3, 2008 — The Mixed Media Shower. There will be arts, crafts, and large installations with food and drinks provided by local vendors; live music and outdoor movies will complement the arts, crafts, and food.
They encourage people to bring tents and gear for camping to the event as there will be a meteor shower watching party to round out the night. In the morning they’ll serve breakfast and mimosas.

I like how they obviously wanted to call it the 100 Acre Wood but thought changing Wood to Forest would make all the difference.
So Pooh on them.
But this sounds like a big dirty hippy festival. I like.
Hey — thanks for your comment. I thought the same thing you did. But that was incorrect. Somehow I just got “forest” into my head, but it is “wood” — just like Pooh Bear. Isn’t my face red. Still sounds like a cool event, though. Forgive me for my sloppiness.
