Leave Austin at 4:45 a.m. Having never been up before the sun, I’m only semi-lucid and aware that it is dark outside as we drive to the airport. Land in D.C. at 11 a.m. Get picked up by friends, short reunion on the sidewalk, and then it’s time to put on the Festival Game Face. Caravan to Dover, Delaware including multiple stops for food and water, then food and Gatorade, then to look for a bathroom. Bathroom is a single Port-a-Potty behind gas station… not ready to resort to that camping life yet. Pee on grass by fence. Get yelled at by woman for peeing on her property.

Electric Forest is amazing.  It inspires plenty to say but I am going to keep it short.  This festival is unapologetically immature. Nanny Nanny Boo Boo.  This is the festival of the future with freaks, geeks, and oh my! Kids.  Or Kidz as we used to call em in my day.  They are lude, crude, young, and full of piss and vinegar.  Yes.

Firing on all cylinders, the 25th annual High Sierra Music Festival, one of Northern California’s biggest and most cherished summer jubilees, was bursting at the seams with music and merriment over the Fourth of July weekend.

This may be the hardest event that I have ever put into words. On the 10th anniversary of one of the world’s greatest displays of art, music, education, dance, creativity, and community, I have the honor of being a part of this legendary sold out Sonic Bloom Festival experience. After setting up camp and a short cool down drizzle, the magic began. Hummingbird Ranch in Spanish Peaks Country, CO is this year’s home and backdrop for our unified field.
