Well, I see I'm the first...
OK, it started with the best flyer I've seen in a long time- one that really makes you wanna go party!
We headed on our long way south, GuyShanti, myself and my dog and finally arrived near the spot. The way in wasn't easy, but for good spots you (or your car) gotta work hard.
After wondering around the desert for half an hour and 12km, first on dirt road and later just on dirt, we arrived at the spot at around 23:30.
It was windy and cold. The moon was almost full and you could see the beautiful desert around you pretty well. Beause of the strong wind it took a while to get everything working, so I had only an hour left to warm up things with the chill out, which was good, as it was too cold for downtempo warming. So Riji took things into his hands with a nice progressive semi-dark set, which was a good soundtrack to my half hallucinated sleep in the car (I was too cold and tired).
The morning came with beautiful soft light and the great sounds from Utopia who gave an excellent morning set- groovy, psychedelic and full of feel! The surprise of the party for me. To the new morning light you could suddenly see 300 beautiful colorful people dancing on a desert hill with the Dead Sea below them in the distance. I took a walk (as a lot of others- it's always like that in desert parties) in the hills and creeks around and was amazed at the flowers- purple, white & yellow popping out everywhere they just manage too.
The weather was perfect for dancing and the sun only really came out at around 7 behind the clouds to welcome BLT's set which really got people digging. There was still breeze and it didn't get too hot. Didn't stay for Zombie's set, as it was a long tiring weekend, and I had 3.5 hours drive back home. Stopped by the amazing huge canyon not far- wow!
Great party- thumbs up for Avishai for opening the spring for us so nicely, just perfect, great nature, great music, great people- the real thing!

Now that was gooooooood
Flyer: As Shahar said, one of the best, happiest flyers I remember. I'll try and upload it later if you dont get a copy Timmy.
Location: somewhere in the desert, overlooking the dead sea. A bad dirt road to get there, but the place was beautiful.
Music: We got there really early, just a little after Shahar started his set. It was cold and windy, so we built up the tent and sat inside. We fell asleep as Ryijy was playing. It was a great set, and if it weren't so cold, I would have danced  I woke up when Yotopia started playing, and I didn't like their set that much. BLT was next and did a great job. Zombi came up at about 9:30 and suddenly ze germans were heard from ze speakers. Very nice set to close things down.
Sound: I wasn't at the dance floor that long, but it seemed good for the size and style of the party.
Crowd: Very very very good crowd.
Had a great great time, even though I slept through most of the party  This was a great opening for the outdoors season. Avishai - you rock!!
Special thanks to the zombi.

Great Party with great vibes!!!
The line up was just perfect for me..
We arrived when Rijy was playing...I liked a lot his powerfull progressive night set.
Then Yotopia came up....I've heard them lately at Baraka and they were great, I've heard them at the party and they were even greater...you know the feeling when you don't want to let the DJ leave the stage?? That's it! what can I say??...I want to hear more... all my friends that came with me were impressed by Yotopia's set...good job guys 
Yuli is a master!! It's a pity I had to leave and couldn't listen to the entire set....didn't hear Zombi's set also...was curious to see Zombi playing morning but...  ...hope next time
The crowd was very very very beautiful...Was nice to see so many familiar faces
Avishay, good luck dear and....we are looking forward to more....

1st. i want to thank all of you guys for the warming words! if we made people smile and enjoy, so our mission has done
2nd. i want to add and say it was one of the best parties i've been in !!! the peole, the view, the music and the vibe were just excellent! the way was little long but after seeing the amazing view i sayed to myself "fuck it worth it" .
I enjoyed playing and see all the smilling people in front of me just when the sun came up and gave us a perfect weather mixed by the pleasant light wind , and enjoyed dancing to the amazing sets all the djs gave that party! it started with some relaxing and warming cheel sounds from shahar, and than a great progressive set from rijy, after rijy we came up for two houres to delight the crowd ears with some melodic stuff, and than yuli played fuckin' amazing set, i could'nt stop dancing for the whole 3 houres!!! after youli, zombi started with his great set took thing deep to cheel after the thick ash people raised
Avishay, you realy did a good work and the organization was just fantastic, keep the good work, looking forward to be in another party of yours.

big big massive thanks to you all for your kind words and all your help in this party.
i must say that i got exactly what i wished for and it was just perfect. everything just clicked so that this party turned out to be a happy beutiful friendly party, everything from the music to the sound to the people was happy and non-violent,
if you saw me there i was probably wearing a big ass smile.
i want to add a big thanks to yuli for helping me so much in planing the party. and to all djs who played really good and all the cool people who didnt fear the road and showed up .
see you all soon i hope.
