...it was nestled amongst some cabins in a woodsy park by a lake outside of Chicago. The uptempo psytrance rig was setup in a lodge and the chill-out tent was down by the bonfire. A crazy magical night! Chilluminati crew and the 80+ attendiees kept the vibes irie and positive. There were so many highlites, but here's what sticks in MY mind:
Toki's fast set was tight, with extreme psychadelia pouring out of the speakers.
Sometime during it, the pheonix sculpture was burned, but i was inside and missed it.
SOT's chill set was very groovy; lots of didgeridoo and phat beats. Underfoot's fast set was off the hook, as usual. Kaiser Soze burned it down after that... Derby and some other cats laid out some tasty vibes as well. Shai's vocally-rich and percussive downbient set was a fine treat to bring in a post-delirious sunday morning... Also there was the Spunn crew doing some serious fire antics, a rope web of sin, and a decent bonfire. People were chill and engaged in heady chat and ecstatic dance. It was a good time. Even Mother Nature showed up with a few perioudic downpours and some punctual lightning strikes! I wish i could have been a little more social, but Alice and her sky of diamonds really had me occupied 
Can't wait till Geologic!!
~namate good people~

It was one of the best nights I have experienced.
I want to thank lovely Devorah for her construction of the Phoenix fire sculpture, Matt & Jennifer for their rope web jungle gym, Psygomin and Kris for massive help with deco and setup, Dan for building the bonfire; all the people who moved their cars when I asked them to; all the people who picked up their trash without being asked; Rebeccah, Vito and Garon for the nature walk at a nearby bog; Spunn and the Iowa crew for dazzling fire dance all night; the guys from Nebraska, Iowa and even Louisiana for driving so damn far and being such integral parts of the community; and the venue for being tolerant of the madness and never asking us to lower the volume or otherwise complain.
Thanks to Kaiser for sound that pierced the night.
And of course all the touchsamadhi, divine balance and audiognome DJs who filled my world with a crystalline edifice of living sound and tangible vibration. |

Almost forgot: thanks too to Mel/Asylem for her fire juggling and poem that started the phoenix ablaze, and Matt for his hidden metal phoenix inside the blaze (most people were not aware that the bigger phoenix hid a smaller metal phoenix inside). |

This was indeed awesome. I had to confirm that Kaiser Soze played one of the best sets I have ever heard him play. Was a wonderful event with a great mix of people, some amazing natural events, rituals, etc. Thanks for all you do Chilluminati!
