Journal Dr.Zong's Journal: Om Festival 2004 (omfestival.ca)
Wow. All I gotta say is wow.
Went to the Summer Solstice this year, it was moved from near Bancroft, ON to just outside Walkerton, ON (just west of County 19, on Concession 14 - near the Saugeen River) and it was the most amazing thing I have ever been too. Well, that is - from what I can remember.
Thousands of cars parked in the first field, rolling fields of tents and sound stages, the bush with carved out pathways and a couple more stages, the river, naked chicks, it was awesome. The whole place was a giant drug filled love in. New age hippie styles (with some old age hippies as well). Communal kitchen, people everywhere, there must have been 4 or 5 thousand people. People from the States, from Alberta and Manitoba, BC, people from Nova Scotia - just crazy!
Anyways, it's near impossible to explain, the music just rocked - hard ass dark beats at my favorite stage hosted by the blacklight activists, wicked show guys and gals!
Oh yeah, and if yer into punk rock, checkout www.swiftyellow.com - it's the band of one of our neighbor's from the weekend. Anyhow, make it out next year - that is my recommendation to everyone. Hope to see you all there!
