My $0.02 about this one...
Wow
, can be a word that is overly used in my rendition of just how much of a good time I indeed had. I certainly did not expect to have as good as time as I did. I don't know why, I guess its just that stuff has been so busy as of late I haven't been taking the time to enjoy the finer things. But @ SF3 it seems that the finer things are all that I had the pleasure of enjoying.
First of all on the way there, Katy and I are crusin, "taking in the beautiful greenery of the area", when all of a sudden Katy slams on the brakes without saying a word. "What is going on?" I exclaimed with a puzzled look on my face. Without a word she gets out and I figure she just saw a pile of cash on the rroad or something. Nope, it was a turtle, just chillin in the middle of the road.
So she goes, picks it up and it starts whizzing everywhere. Off to the side of the road it went and off we went to have the time of our lives. With our Karma banks filled thanks to my lil humanitarian.
After the beautiful positive karma filled ride up we arrived at like 4 and set everything up by six. I was astonished at how beautiful the deco looked and was even more pleased to see those two coloums of distruction ready to reap their sonic salvation upon all of us. I can't believe how fucking cool it is to be more than a football field away from the speakers AND STILL GET STEREO SOUND!!!!! By far the BEST of the BEST when it comes to speaker systems. I talked to the sound guy and he said that if we put those on scaffolding next time we almost double the range of the stereo, imagine that!!!
The string art was so cool. I absolutly am in love with string art, I think that it is so awsome. And the placement of the art was dead on, it made for some Killargh pics. I was blown away at how the nighttime stage looked, pure bliss.
I must say that the style that the music progressed throughout the night was amazing. It really felt like a 3 day packed into one magic night and afternoon. I personally loved META playing the slot he played. I felt that there was a great progression of sound from him. And definetly some of the freshest sounding stuff out there, awsome bass and killer percussion. I really loved the set. Next was Facehead who had some mystery behind him, because I couldn't find him and chat with him before he played. But OH MAN DID THIS GUY ROCK. The shit was just up my alley. Stompers Delight type shit. I think China sent a noise complaint for me stompin too hard. I love the stuff with dense basslines and percussion that sticks out as if it is played louder, nutty music for an even nuttyer experience. It was so much fun to dance to that stuff, I always want to go and dance when I play my stuff and his music put me in the same psychosis I fall into when playing my shit. WOO HOO.
The OOZE are killin it harder and harder with every time that I see em. I mean their music is unbelieveble. I loved every single track that you guys played. I heard nothing but amazing things from you guys and I expect nothing less every time I see you. Theres nothing like REALLY grinding it out throughtout the night and getting rescued from the darkness by morning blasters. I loved all the morning stuff that was played by Brad and Rob. Ya'll really play some sick tracks. It carried me into the morning like I was floating on psychedellic clouds. KT I don't know what the hell people are talkin about, IT WAS NOT TO HARD! I loved it. I think that looking arouind and observing what the crowd needs is KEY. And that was done right. Just after I thought all I had in me was to drink beer and marinate my ears were AWAKENED once again. Slammin set start to finish. Way to keep shit slammin and keep people dancing. Rock on sistah. See you in CALI!!!
I think after that I was pretty mush done for. Sunburnt, a little drunk, and a lota something else (that SF3 vibe), I headed home. Overall I would have to say that this was one of the best chillum parties by far, the vibe and people were incredible. I brought 2 friends (Dakota and Greg) out to their FIRST all psy party and lets just say that you all will be seeing a LOT more of em and like wise. We need to keep this vibe in the air and soon everyone will be smiling as hard as we all are. I would like to thank everyone for the good conversation and kind words, you rock.
Jeff, I was very happy that you found Gregs artwork interesting. As he mentioned he started a UV piece and if his drawing is even a fragment of what he can do I think we may have just opened up pandoras box of UV deco. This is going to be awsome. Greg is bringing down a lot more of his artwork this Psunday for the Summah Sizzle. We are going to create a psychedellic art mini-expo as a part of the deco in the indoor chill area. I am so excited.
Well, excellent party. Everyone who had their hands in the cookie jar on this one definetly deserves a BIG NAMASTE. Thank you for this one, I really needed it and so did everyone else.
I hope to see everyone at the MINDOUTPSYDE SUMMER SIZZLE FEAT. FACEHEAD this Psunday. Till then rest well and prepare yourselfs for Tatejuares return on Psynday!
Namaste & a big BOOM
Nick
