These are some of my favorites as well
I love Leonard Cohen
Have you ever checked out this fan site.
It's the most comprehensive that I've found yet.
They hold fest gatherings as well
Next year it will be held in Hydra, Greece. They've set a limit of 275
participants and I think that they've already reached that. The reason they
chose this place was because Cohen lived there for a while and wrote his
second novel "Beautiful Losers" as well as many songs and poems.
This poem is on the main page of their website. Beautiful, isn't it?
One by one the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few
And those who dance begin to dance
And those who weep begin
Welcome, welcome, cries a voice
Let all my guests come in
"The Guests" by Leonard Cohen
