non compos mentis - Gathering of the Vibes
Of course I'm crazy... but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Gathering of the Vibes
Rhianna and I had business to attend to in Bridgeport on Friday.
I had all but nearly forgotten that Gathering of the Vibes was this weekend, but, when we stepped of the train in Bridgeport,
we saw the Vibes shuttle to go to Seaside Park.
So, we attended to what business there was (returned my plates to the DMV), at some lunch at Terra Brasilis,
and headed out to the park.
We arrived around 4pm and stayed until about 11:30 (only hear about the 1st 3 or 4 songs from the Black Crowes, which
I would have liked to stay and hear, but, we had trains to deal with, etc.).

When I saw the shuttle and told Rhianna that I wanted to go, and explained to her what GotV was, she said,
"Oh, no, Daddy...not some hippy fest..."
But, by the time I said,"Let's head back to the shuttle", she was begging to stay and camp out with all the hippies...
We didn't have a camping pass, anyway, nor tickets for Saturday, as much as I, too, would have liked to stay.
In any case, we had a LOVELY time!

I totally dig her Ganesha tattoo.
I should have asked her to let me get a better shot of that...
I would have cropped this image, but, the girl to the right is just too cute to crop out...

We made friends with this lovely creature and hung out for a while.
She LOVED Rhianna's rainbow hat.

No, not the hippies, daddy! That is hilarious.

I agree on the Ganesha tattoo. It is highly detailed without being busy.

Rhianna says we should go again next year, and camp for the whole weekend.
I can't tell you how much I would LOVE to do that, too.

I've got a couple of paintings of Ganesha that I did here:

(along with Buddha and Jesus and other groOvy stuff...)

man that looks like fun, I went to something like that up in Northern Michigan and it was a blast. There is something really wonderful and freeing about going to something like this. This kind of event really makes you feel like Peace, Love, and Music can change the world.

Peace, Love and Music can change the world, man...
Indeed.

What these do to me, though, is make me reminiscent and longing for the good ol' days of DEAD tour...
These are like a visit to those days, sort of, but, updated to a more technically proficient, and far more commercial scene.

I mean, we never had MobileMoney ATM machines in the lot on DEAD tour...and that was probably a good thing...

And, I was a lot more free back then.
I mean, it's one thing to drive your 1971 Oldmobile Delta 88, with 7 hippy girls in it, to a Dead show at Deer Creek, Indiana, and have nowhere else to go for a couple of days, free to explore the depths of music and conscious and free love and all that groOvy stuff,
and,
another thing entirely to hang out at a show with your 9 year old child in tow.
Of course, my daughter is the funnest girl on earth, so, I can't since I had any less fun.
