A group of people who gather together regularly - usually once a year - to live in harmony with each other and nature. Money and alcohol are not allowed, but sharing and swapping are encouraged. It's basically a chance to step out of the commercial, high-speed world (or "Babylon" as it's been termed) and live simply and sweetly out in the woods with people who want peace and prioritise ecological issues.
The biggest Rainbow Gathering is in America, held annually in one of the national forests. The website is www.welcomehome.org and you can find lots of info about hows, whens, wheres and whys.
And to reiterate: welcome home!

When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds, and who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as the warriors of the Rainbow.

And there you have the point of a rainbow gathering!

A TCG created by Richard Garfield, but now owned by Wizards of the Coast. Although commonly associated with nerds, this game has been known to be played by anyone. The game is meant to symbolize powerful wizards doing battle by summoning monsters and the like.
Each player starts with 20 life, a hand of 7 cards, and must have a deck of at least 60 cards. A player can die by loosing all his/her life, or by being forced to draw a card when she has no cards left in her deck, or by the bullshit card Door to Nothingness. You win the game by killing off all opponents, or by cards that say you win when you meet a certain prerequisite. Many cards are banned or restricted (only one is allowed per deck), usually the older cards, or many of the cards from the mirrodin set, because of the hundreds of instant-win combos. The game is not entirely based on card supremecy; a particulaly skilled player could easily win with a premade deck.

I get thrown out of Friday Night Magic: The Gathering tournements because of my Mirrodin-block Krark-Clan Ironworks deck (now featuring 17 instant-win combos).

The greatest trading card game ever. It must have been doing something right if it's lasted 11 years and is still in a growth phase.
Oh, and contrary to populare belief, you don't have to spend oodles of money just to win... That's why it's a TRADING card game, and why it's especially amusing to bolt together decks like U/G Madness or KCI and wipe the floor with all those moneycard-toting individuals.
