The Friday night midnight set was by far the best set. The magic that happened was so inspiring and rooting. Rituals like his are what set Emrg N See apart........

Sunday late night at the Jellyfish was amazing as well....

Other than those two sets the whole week-weekend was mind expanding.

Yeppers, 'THE' most boring show on earth really was SOOOOOOOO boring - NOT! Honestly, I dont remember the last time I have laughed that hard. From Free Ballin' to the guys 'Manhood' performance, it was all just simply fabulous

Cohen's set of 'love songs' was simply magical and yummy

Vibesquad > ELF > Rab = AHHHHHHHH!!!!! choice!

Saqi > Kitty D's set was exactly what I needed on Sunday as well

EMRG+N+SEE orchestra was off the hook, everything flowed so organically and the collaborations were great to watch

Uhhhh, sauna and swimming hole? at a festival? Talk about rejuvination station! cant beat that

and the location was simply magical, great site to have a fest

Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm - the whole weekend was DELICIOUS

Wow. TRuely epic.

I wasn't sure that this year could match last year, but...
THIS YEAR WAS EVEN BETTER THAN LAST!!!

I mean, it was epic doing a renegade mission to the swimming hole with Elijah and Arun last year, but having the whole boooty-ful posse all lounging around naked at the pond and playing music? EPIC.

Livesavas... dream come true.
I never really FULLY got heavy weight until this year. They totally swept me up in their music and had me raging as APOSTLE fell on the side of the stage and KEPT ROCKING.

APT!!! Many had no idea what was gonna go down, and it's too bad cause many folks who in hindsight wish that they had been there missed it, but all who were there got fully whomp'd by the raw power of the performance piece, the hotness of their four boy lineup (reminiscent of the glitch mob), the visuals that flowed with the story woven into the music, the EPIC MUSIC... I am SO GLAD that I caught that set... Was anyone video taping?

Sleepyhead and Mimosa opening the dome Friday night! Those my boys! Watchout ya'll... THIS is what's comin... and the dome was fully bouncin for this set.

Serpent Path Ritual Theater/Fanna Fi Allah - so good to start it off with such potent shamanic intention. I was stoked that there was more organic music this year (like live bands), Luminous Fog and Lafa Taylor rocked it, and the band that was playing just before Luminous Fog? They were local ashland hiphop crew I think? Wish more people had seen them, they were awesome.

What else...?
My mind keeps drifting back to the day time pond sessions! EPIC!!!


Chance of Rain Waffles and V Spot Veggie Burgers saved my life more than a few times.


But, my highlight of the festival...?

the Kids,
Yosha, Kiave, Solray, Harmony and especially Baby Satya Dragonfly and Lorijah!
it's sooooo great to have time to be an uncle to these wonderful beings. And festivals are so much more fun from the perspective of a child! I love running around with them and playing from their point of view! How about a kid camp zone and small stage next year, for the little ones and for the kid in all of us!


Also, I would like to see more of a variety show/tallent show during the day time in the pavilion, or at the Swimming Hole Stage (?!?!?!) next year...

Good Job Team.
Waaaaaaaaaay to go.

fer real.
YUM.

Oh yeah and I really loved Time Machine too... I thought that keyboarder was amazing and they had a great energy and man yeah that kid on the boards was ridiculous.
