well, i'm back from gathering of the vibes. i managed to take a lot of drugs, smoke a lot of pot, and still find some time to drink some beers. oh, and there was music there. look for these bands: strangefolk, fuzz and stephen kellog, and max creek. excellent bands. the weather was only bad on the first day, and after that it was kind of chilly. the big leason learned from the weekend is how amazing hallucinogens can be. the reason i love them so much is how happy i feel on them. and the reason i get so happy is: when i trip, i realize the secret of life. and the cool part of knowing the meaning of life is actually what the meaning is: there is no meaning. just live your life the way you want to. be kind to other people and treat them with respect. do what you want to do to make you and your loved ones happy and that's it. do that and you'll be nothing but happy. but it's such a hard thing to do when you're not freaking out of your mind cuz your foot is melting and nobody is speaking english anymore and that guy just turned into a tree, but that's a story for another time...

more later.
