we all had a very good time
arrived there on Friday night only
could only enjoy some of Saturday's bands
Grails, Om, Guapo, Neurosis and Tribe of Neurot
all of them really excellent
the place is just what it needs to be, perfect size
you can feel that the audience is there for the music and the vibe,
nothing else
everybody is enjoying what is happening
thanks to the organisation and all the people involved
a special thanks to Neurosis, not only for curating this very special
night, but for
their very intense music and for beeing so true to it
later in the hall and in the backstage, after Tribes of Neurot
time seemed to look for a place to land
a few more glimpses at the reminding sound auras
time to go in the morning rain

burned
It was amazing to meet and get to know Grails. A truly moving show for me. Zeni Geva was an incredible show to watch. "LIfe is improvisation/ Improvisation is life" Need I say more...It was the first time I got to see OM. Also a moving performance for me and Al couldn't have been a nicer man. Very honored to have met him as well. Nadja were great again- as usual. Although I missed Baroness it was great to meet John and talk a bunch over the course of two days. Great to see Amen Ra again on that tour. Neurosis through silver in blood brought back some great memories. A surprise well worth the bleeding eardrums. Scott wins for overachieving in the Tribes of Neurot set. USX did brought it all to the table once again. I missed some things I really would have loved to see- Eugene Robinson got past me- maybe I'll meet him and see his show in the near future-as well as earth. And how does Skullflower make those noises-outstanding. The list goes on-but I was burned by all that I saw and honored to meet as many people as I did. Domenic- A Storm Of Light

I would say the bar has been raised yet again for other heavy music festivals but that doesn't really describe it.
Raised the bar? Yeah, better put your fucking jet pack on kid.
More later, including details and some pics. Right now I pray all my luggage finally makes it home ok.
