I'm back from Euphoria, the younger cousin of Alchemy which is a distant relative of Burning Man. It was tons of fun. Less than a thousand hippies.

That made it much more intimate and compelling.
As per usual, I didn't take any photos. They just wouldn't do the experience justice. You just had to have been there.

That being said, I am shocked SHOCKED that one of the coolest things we did is listen to some folks performing some bluegrass. It sounded like something straight out of Prairie Home Companion.

Other fun stuff included watching classic Universal horror films projected on a screen in the midst of the "Spooky Forest" maze.

It was a great burn, even though the weather was intensely hot. If only I could have the smaller size of this event with the weather from the one in October.

bluegrass is the flip side of the americana musical coin from jazz/blues and the gather round the campfire jams makes so worthwhile as everyone takes - zeitgeist Jun 16, 18:00 3
- I'm not musically inclined in that way. But I have to say it was presented more as a concert. They were in a bus that was opened up and converted - Qale Jun 16, 18:03 2

I did find a really good shot of the effigy burning just so you can see what we torched. -- (link) - Qale Jun 16, 17:57 1
