So I went to Integral Gathering last weekend. IG has been a force of love and support in my life for a long time. Going to that party is like going home to family. This time the party took place near Palmdale in a little desert location.I met my OC friend Bob at the "door" talked with him a bit and then parked the car. It was incredibly dark with no moon and only a sea of stars to light the way once the carbeams went off.. I walked around a bit to get my settings straight trying to find old ffriends in the scattered disembodied voices that could be heard through the downtempo symphony slowly beating its way to me from the dance floor. By chance I came across Orly and Zenia two rgood friends of mine that have been with IG from the beginning.I caught up with them for a while and found the OC IG crew and Beau who was slowly drifting towards the turntables to begin his set. Soon the tempo became a infused mix of breaks and electro as Beau spun his magic on the tables. I watched for a bit before heading out to search for a campsite.The wind was picking up by this time,blowing chills right through the jacket I was wearing and I couldnt feel my hands .I got the tent upgot warm and went out to the dance floor.. Music was pounding away by this time Beau had finished and Cory and Bob were up. I listened and danced for a while before I crashed in the early morning hours.. In the morning everyone I knew suddenly appeared in the sunlight. The music went till 2 pm and spending time with all the LA/SD friends I almost never see(me living in the OC) was exactly what I needed after living in the fairly sterile enviorment of school and work all this year. An awsome weekend....
I really need to get out more!!
