so it was probably something in the water> I am no genius, but it doesn't take too much to figure this out. Almost everyone got sick. Well you might say you didn't drink the water from the well, but you probably had some free coffee or tea from the coffee dragon. I am pretty sure they didn't actually go and buy all the clean water that would be enough to supply a thousand people with enough water for 4 days. That would cost them way too much and would be too much effort renting trucks and man power to do that. I for sure didn't see any water gallons by the coffee dragon. Maybe you didn't get any coffee or tea and didn't drink water from the well, and you are still wondering how you got sick, well it could be because you were eating their meal plans. I don't know what they were making, couse I didn't eat there, but I will take a wild guess and say that at least something was made with water. If you are still not convinced, because you didn't drink coffee,tea, water from the well, and didn't eat their food, and still got sick, it's probably because you went to the bathroom, hopefully washed your hands, and eventually touched your mouth, or eye, or nose. Maybe you even took a shower and got some contaminated water in your mouth. I stayed there until Monday, and when I went down to wash the dishes there was the worst smell ever. It smelled like a septic tank and there were no potter potties or bathrooms there. As soon as I got back to my camping area to start packing up, I started felling sick. As we packed we saw two instances of people pulling over to puke out of their cars. Pretty ugly scene.. I had great time there, and will be more careful next time. That being said, SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR  |

This festival was sick.... I am so glad i did not miss it this year... This is my 3rd Gaian Mind, and it keeps getting better every year...
I got sick too, as everyone... but yay, I am good now, it was a good diet... keep me in shape for the summer... I think it was some kind of virus spread by those alliens watching over us on the festival.... My theory (since everyone has one, this is mine) they were popping some extraterrestrial ultra powerfull cosmic virus thru radiation laser over us coming from their UFO that was sitting above 4Q the whole festival...this is what i think... but it also could have been the water... who knows...
I had a blast.... sick festival...
By the way, props to the sound levels being louder this year... it was very nize...

Ah ha! That jetta was our car. We got a flat tire and 4QF staff were nice enough to pull the nail, seal it, and fill the tire. But they forgot why it was there the first time around (hence the decor). Awesome pictures by the way, very nice. |

Awesome pictures everyone.. The one thing I'd like to see is a video of the main dancefloor when the uber-thunderclap happened. That was intense!! |
