The van wasn't the little engine that could... so 10 guys or some from the cars
all around us, got out to help push it up the little hill.
I just wrote an nice long e-journal about Shambhala....and I deleted it oops
I had a blast at Shambhala this week... it was so much better than last year... last year openned up my eyes to the possiblitily of what could be. Shambhala is what u make of it. This year I knew a lot of different groups of people. Hight school ppl, old raving friends, Uni friends, and plus all the new ones i made.
If you haven't been to a hippie-fest. then you probably wont understand... but I felt free. (CHECK ON THE NAKED BUM, ps the guy with the beige shirt and blue pant over his shoulder is half naked too) Anything goes at Shambhala. Nakedness, body paint, hippies, stoned, candy ravers, punk, gothic, preppy, skator... anything. People don't judge here and you are allowed to be what u want to be.
People share what they have and u give what u can to ppl in need. The airmatress I borrowed from a friend was destroyed in my truck on the drive up to Nelson, so while we were in line for 6 hours, I got ppl that had duct tape, packing tape and then a patch kit. While we were in line, I was given a handful of chocolate chip cookie cereal, a ice cold beer, a ride on a ATV to my friends that were 2 km behind us and back with some girls needed to turn around. I shared my massive rice crispie square with random ppl. It was a good time. After finally getting into the festival, we were looking for a good spot to camp, and I drove over a big rock. (Mom don't worry no marks or damage because some strong boys saved us. As well, after setting up camp, I was looking to borrow some duct tape (I found more holes in the air matress). I met a high school teacher that was awesome and very funny for a chem/physic/math teacher. All the ppl were very interesting... all in there own way.
Aren't I hot, blue and all. I have completed painted blue... except my neck and face. As soon as the sun goes down... it gets very very cold... so i had to cover up :(
I can't wait to go again next year...
Did I mention that i gave a ride to a guy from india living in New york city working for GOOGLE, and a nelson guy that was living in Nepal for the last 10 months. It was a random drive.
