The end

Exhausted does not even begin

To describe the feeling

At the culmination

My three days of spontaneity

Coming to an end

Mentally, physically drained

Am I glad I did this?

Are we crazy for doing this?

Yes and yes.

We cannot even stand at this point

Our legs can no longer hold us up

The ground feels so good

It’s over

The whole experience coming to a close

Relief and discontent.

One of the dumber things

That we have done

Is driving through the night

After three days of not stop

Our bodies exhausted

We decide to drive eight hours

This terrified me more than

Anything that

I saw this weekend

Honestly I thought

That we could die

We walked a thin line

The journey home

We had "no hope to look for

Nothing to look forward too"

I tried to sleep

So I could shut my brain from the fear

It did not work

This crazy weekend has come to its culmination. Do I regret anything? No. It was by far, the most interesting experience of my life. I am grateful to have such good friends in my life to push me out of my comfort zone, and experience the new. I am one who just stays in what is comfortable. My friends have pushed me to be involved in so much more than the box I’m used to staying in. “Music has always sent out lines of flight” (Dekeyze and Guattari’s, “A Thousand Plateaus ‘Introduction:Rhizome’). Music was the center of the weekend. It was so interesting to see that people from all over the world could be brought together by a common cause: music.

It's kind of funny

At the gates

In the line

So close

Out of thousands upon thousands of people

What are the odds

To see him at the gate?

The first person I see

It is the best

For a familiar embrace by chance

It’s funny how things work out

It’s funny how I ended up here

It’s all just really funny

Inside we are here

In almost a fantasy land

The stress I have back home forgotten

Here I am transported to a place

That feels unreal

Futuristic

Each musician acquired his own tent

Apart from the world

Trapped in an orb

The music brought us all here together

And together

“We were going to be insole possession of the most powerful technology in the world.”

Like those on a journey

We all had a mission

To enjoy life through music

It is interesting to see the power of music

And what it makes people do

It can give people amazing strength

Like those science fiction stories you here of

A man climbing a tower to shut power off of a major city

Instead we have people here climb trees

The first day was over, and was a success. The troubles, the worries, the fear, and the stress that came prior was all worth it. Any worries were out the window. I felt in another world. Time was not a constraint. My focus was to appreciate the music. That I conquered. On top of that, to see a familiar face of a friend so dear helped as well. There are a few things I value in life. My good friends and music are top two. I had that this weekend.
