ouch easy beautiful fest such a positive experience now being tainted by such negativity as my grandma never said but im sure someones did "if you cant say anything nice dont say it at all." ets collectively take a vow to keep the negativity away from this amazing subculture hapiness movement weve got going here.

Anyway...Chuk/Facehead, your set was
killer bro, some of the best psystrance material I have heard lately! Your set, and
Kilowatts at north crook were the
highlights for me!

Just got back this afternoon to hot sticky Tokyo after a looong flight on the very half-assed Delta Airline. Jet-lagged, body aching, and still feeling elated.
I had the best time I can remember ever having at the Gaian Mind festival. Pulling it together without some of our key players from previous years presented us with a challenge right from the get-go that was at times overwhelming to think about before we got to get started... but everybody stepped up and we managed to throw it all together with even a few upgrades like making the stage bigger, all the while singing "pretty good now, yup alright!" and with minimum frustration in the process. And learning from last year, the stage was well prepared for heavy rain... which never came!!! 
Then the party... I especially loved Primordial Ooze, YY, and Eg-Bot's sets... and it was my first time hearing Facehead and I enjoyed it. Solomoon rocked the Sat. morning sunrise, and Shapestatic's set was also a nice groovy balance treading between minimal and old-school goa with lots of subtle psychedelic sounds.
I got to enjoy Saturday daytime too without being too tired, for the first time  Saw many old and new friends, walked around, even got a chance to sit in on Daniel Pinchbeck's talk, which I enjoyed very much... I hope he can keep coming back.
Dancing with everyone on Sunday morning was just incredible. I enjoyed meeting so many awesome people and reconnecting with old friends... I had the biggest smile on my face the entire time and couldn't wipe it off even if I did want to try... actually I did try a couple of times and then just decided to leave it alone
I may be biased about the deco, but I do think Mimi outdid herself yet again. Yeah, that was her all week on the top rung of the huge ladder that takes at least two people to move, with one foot on the top rung and the other wrapped around a tree while tying something up above her head. And popping all those extra blacklights up on Sat. night that were perfectly placed, without even creating a slight disturbance on the dancefloor to do it... wow!
The chillout was fantastic... pristine sound, great music, a whole big playground... all the artists came together to create such an awesome space.
Peter Parker provided a really nice space on the covered stage with mattresses and projections.
...and I got to see my brother, whom I have not seen in over 2 years. It's hard when we all live so far away from each other, but he made it happen, had a great time, and hopped freight trains back to Florida.
So I have tons of gratitude to everyone who came, danced, had good conversations and shared moments on the dancefloor, played, and helped to create some magic that will long be remembered. I feel so lucky to be a small part of it.
Finally, I can't express enough what it meant to dance with Ananda, Shanti, Allen and Melanie in the Stone Circle! For me, that's what the whole thing was about this year. |

Wow. I'm still finding the words to express this one...
Thank you so much to everyone. I haven't danced that hard in years. Everything, and I mean everything, was perfect: music, art, weather, people, vibes, etc. etc. I had an amazing time and am extremely grateful for the experience.
Bom!

Isn't that kind of like saying don't have an opinion, unless it's the one we all agree with... Way to move psytrance one step closer to a religious experience... lol...
Also, correct me if I am wrong, but the major complaint of the guy was that the sound was not loud enough, correct? Sounds like a valid complaint to have from a music festival to me... |

exactly.
agree with you 200%%
but on this forum ppl. get sooooo defensive if someone has somethign critical to say.
GUYS, THIS IS A FORUM to discuss things whether -ve or +ve without getting rude.
I agree UHMWIPE got a bit silly in his later posts but his main concern was the sound and he has the right to express his opinion without having everyone jumping down his throat and gettig nasty right?
so let's just all chill pls.
have a great weekend. MWAH!!
