yo, so out of the blue I see that there's a psychill fest happening in USA!!! wow, awesome! It is not being organized by psytrance people (surprise) but by the hippie jam band crowd. neat!
Featuring Shpongle, Ott, Phutureprimitive and other music. Also Alex Grey will do some painting and Rick Strassman will be there to do some book signings.
Also, its at a hotel, so even though that means it will cost more, it means I can actually chill out and not worry about insects and rain and shit.
I'm excited. All you american chillers east of the mississippi should really try to make it. I'd also really love to see some canadians make it down. its really not that far from Montréal.
anyway, link:

just got back; it was pretty sweet. hate to admit, but I think I'm kinda ruined on outdoor festivals...having my own bed, bathroom, shower, sink, & quiet space was excellent. also, being able to wear my slippers around the whole festival was fantastic. AND there was a big indoor pool with nice warm water that I had a good time swimming around in. oh, and the meal plan was totally worth it: consistently good food considering the situation.
Ott was obviously my favorite show of the weekend. I'm so bummed that I missed his meet & greet, tho!! was napping for his set and didn't even know he was out at a table talking to people. Ott, if you're reading this: you got lucky this time, but some day you will have to deal with me gushing to your face about how much I love your tunes!
Even though the fest was called "A Psybient Soiré" there was waaayyyyyy more dubstep and electronic jam band music than there was psychill. basically for psychill it was shpongle, ott, phutureprimitive, and bird of prey. and furthermore, phutureprimitive and bird of prey sounded more like dubstep/glitch hop than what I was used to. oh well, trendy sounds sell i guess.
Some of the jam bands were surprisingly great to listen to; i discovered a couple new bands that I would listen to in my free time
Lots of cool people there; I've never really delved too far into the hippy jam band scene, but I met some cool cats there. was nice to have a break from the same ol' psytrance crowd. All in all, I had a great time and would totally go again if they repeat the fest next year.
