It's hard to sum up in 25 words or less, so here's the wiki write up. It's pretty spot on as to what is going on.

Spring counsel hasn't been held yet, all that is know about the location for this year is that it will be in AR, OK or TX. Spring counsel will narrow down which state and then a scouting party will find a location that handle 20k-30k people.
Forgot to mention, there is lots of music. The drums can be heard non-stop, except during the time of silence to focus on world peace. The drumming circles are awesom. I have tapes of some and they make for great ambient music and I also use them in my techno/rave remixes.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
