NIC@NITE is a loosely based organization of dirty kids who give out free cigarettes and yell at people at Rainbow gatherings and in the real world.

TRADITION Nic@Nite was created in 1996 by some people who really needed a cigarette at a rainbow gathering.

"Free" Cigarettes The purpose of nic@nite is to give free smokes. "You need a cigarette i gotta cigarette you gotta cigarette i need a cigarette! Donate to nic@nite! We jones so you dont have to! Yadda yadda yadda!" is the beginning of a nic@nite holler, which it to notify people of their presence; those who need a smoke come to them and so do those who wish to donate tobacco. Nic@Nite accepts all donations, but loose pounds of tobacco, filtered packs of cigarettes, papers, and cigars are particularly needed at all times.

Personnel Nic@Nite is comprised of dirty bums aged 18 to 30something. Anyone can become a Nic@Nite, but there is a rigorous hazing process that usually eliminates 90% of the candidates at any given time. This year at Tennessee Nationals, 8 people applied and at the end of the gathering only one was still in training.

Other Functions Because of their widespread need across the gathering and in the cities and towns of America, nic@niters travel more in a day (at a gathering) than almost anybody else there, bringing them into contact with more people and situations than most people. As a result, they are something of a human bulletin board, bringing information, updates, and personal messages wherever they go.
