hippies,pagens,witches...o my

well i went to a peace gathering in NM this weekend...3 square holes if anyone was there...
ok ...so there was hippies...like the deadhead type i presume(dreads..clothing), pagens, rastafarians(sp), and witches and a strange ec lectic mix of this and that. i had never been to anything like that before.
1st of all i have never seen that many hairy armpitted chicks in one plave in my life..all good im used to it. it was damn nice vibe...music was like celtic,acid,mushroom(i dosed a bandmember ) far eastern, folkish....odd mix of sounds but it was really good.
so kids, dogs, old hippies, mothers...young hippe chicks..regular joes....i thought at 1st i was one of many observing the hippie types but then when sunset came around and all these people wer drumming and chanting...i realized i was one of the few observers
the sunset was awesone..desert...long...so i ate some shrooms while a few dirty kids ran around my feet...that felt kinda weird..so i tried to be very discreet...most others didnt seem to care about that type of exposure....so there we dome tents with stoner music...with computer graphics being projected on the dome..cool....a 20 ft tall or so guy that looked kinda like burning man but was all metal and filled with wood..it was red hot.
then they had some digaroo(sp) and earthy type music and some witches danced around then they busted out some fire things on the end of chains....
so anyway was my 1st timeat a non techno type of event like this. was really interesting, a bunch of freaks so i felt like i fit in yet i didnt....the only thing i didnt really like was the presence of kids running around while people ar partying...maybe thats ok to some but i think that kids have alot of time to be expoosed to such things and that was no place or time for them to see it.
so when it was time to leave i left the rest of my boomers with some old hippie named clyde...heh

I agree with you about the kids Odin, let em grow up and make their own choices.

I'm gonna keep my hippie, pagan, Wiccan mouth shut.
Too bad you didn't agree with the burning man ceremony. But don't the children have a right to see the celebrating so they can grow up and make their own choice out of experience? ...just an opinion.
Well, I tried to keep my mouth shut.

i agree with you about the kids. my friends bring their kids to shows with us and they arent exposed to anything worse than what is on tv, not in my case anyway. but yeah, i cant wait for all the festivals to come this way. i think bonnaroo is the farthest i'm going, but there is alot of shit up here where i am, so travel here is never more than 3 hours to a good show

Yep, better than having the little lads obsessed with titties because they never got to see them when they were growing up, imo. Might explain my obsession for hairy armpitted chicks... Besides, its a celebration, an expression of gladness. See ya at bonnaroo!

I saw a lot of people walking with kids at bonnaroo. It was really hot and... i dunno ididnt think it was that good of an idea to bring your kid to a 3 day music festival where its super hot.

maybe its all good i cant really say, just to myself i was a little uncomfortable...and i dont have kids so that could have something to do with it. i had a blast overall it was an awesome vibe. perhaps if kids see such activites in such a positive manner its not a bad thing. outsider looking in was all.
