Great read and great conclusion. It also reminds me of the burning man community. I still don't know what to think of it 10 years later. We left that community with my wife, because we realised (and sorry to offend anyone) that it was a bunch of rich kids wanting to play in the mud. What I mean by this, is that at the time we were REALLY STARVING with the kids, and not fucking pretending for one bit.
At the same time, I am being overly critical and borderline hypocritical because I was one of the rich kid playing the in the mud, once. I still prefer these people any day, compared to 99% if the (now masked) population. There still great trance parties where we live, and we will probably go with the kids one day (without the drugs of course haha).
Hey Ed,
ya I got that impression of the buring man crowd as well, videos I sw and firsthand accounts by friends who went.
At Ozora most people are rather non-rich. Just rich enough to get away for a week ;)
I miss the trance scene. would take my kids as well, will do when I have any <3
All the best to ya
Ozora seems to be a chilled place, I still think there's some cool people out there, it's all about finding them!
aye though I gotta say ozora has changed drastically over the last decade. Last time I went I had to concede that it would be my last time...
We really need new places to party, where less of a media campaign has been trotted out and the spirit of the party is fresh and free!
Around my area there are free parties, but right now, they keep the music level very low not to attract any attention
how sad...
