allgood fest, claypool and the lips... need I say more?

First off, let me advise you, tripping at festivals can be fun, but can be very overwhelming (espcially while lost by yourself). I perfer to trip alone now because you find a whole new level of revelations without anyone there to interupt your mind manifestation.
Anways, onto the good stuff. Me and 2 friends went to the Allgood Festival this past year. It started with me and my friend B dosing 3.5 hits eachs of what we thought was acid. The guy selling it said it was synthetic mescaline, but I doubted him nonetheless. As we ate it we knew we were in for something because it immidiately had this insane sensation to the blotter while it was in our mouths. After like 5 mins, we just swallowed the shit b/c it was so annoying , and it wasnt the metallic taste acid has with it from time to time. It almost stung it was so potent.
So we head towards the stage area, and by the time we are in the gates, we started feeling the effects more and more. Now it was time for Les claypool. Ladies and gentleman, the messiah of the bass guitar. Oh my shit! He was playing with the Fancy Band with gabby la la (COUGHyokoonoCOUGH). The set was amazing, but not as good as the Atlanta show where Trey played with them. After this, it was time for the Flaming Lips.
You have to experience their live show. By this time i'm getting great visuals and seem to still be coming up (+2 hours after dose) The whole stage was molding itself and bending in all sorts of directions. i also had this weird olfactory(smell) hallucination. Everytime the stage lights were at there brightest, I could smell them. It was a very odd and undesricbeable smell. Anyways, the Lips are playing and they go into a Bohemian Rhapsody singalong. INTENSE! All the while, there's a projector in the background with all sorts of images, good and grotesque. I remember one very clearly that frightened me and it was an image of a baby that had a massive headwound. I think it was a gunshot, tho I dunno. I sorta felt violated seeing that shit in that state of mind.
After that mindblown set, I was still coming up FOUR HOURS LATER! By now I was meandering through the densest West Virginian fog earth could fathom that night. At points I was convienced it was ash falling from a volcano it was so thick. I got back to the campsite and met up with B. He was at the same plateau I was. It was a great moment reuniting with him.
I dont want to babble on, I just had to get at least that part out from this trip. It continued until the next late afternoon. Then I ate some molly that evening and watched String Cheese and that just set me off again. It was one of the hardest times I tripped and def. the longest. I don't know what I ate b/c i dont have experience with RC's, but this shit lasted about a whole day(I'm talking mad visuals), it made my limbs hurt really bad on the come up, and it had a over abunently bitter taste at intial injestion. Alright, enoughs enough.
Thanks for showing some interest and reading. Good vibes

Nice report, thanks for sharing. Glad you had a good time! I know from personal experience (Bonnaroo) just how intense the Flaming Lips live show can be. It's too bad that blotter is selling as "synthetic mescaline" when it's neither that or acid. Sure you had a good time, but not everybody can accept a day long trip. There is that Shroomery adage: blotter+bitter=spitter.

i like that, but does it really work, as in, the drug not taking affect?

If you spit it out fast enough, probably. For instance, instead of putting all three and a half hits on your tongue, put one on and taste it. I know some of the RC's (like 5-Meo-AMT, I think?) won't fit one one blotter, a full dose takes several blotters worth of paper, so one little hit would just be a threshold dose, not a day long trip.
