[Broken Home]

Ramiro we should go together*. Ernie (aka RYPTIDE) goes every year and says it's the best.

[RAMIRO]

next year should definitely be better for me to plan out and attend such festivals.

[djoctane]

lol

DAMN GUYS MY BAD LOL. I DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH PATIENCE TO READ ALL THE NAMES.

I ALMOST WENT LAST YEAR. I HEAR ITS AN EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS GOOD PEOPLE WATCHIN

[Rico Suave]

I should be playing this....because I need to be comped into this show....because I would love to....but $150 is a bit steep :ohmygod:

I went one year with Jay Selway (back in the day when I was a psytrance head), and let me tell you, it was an experience. It was at a Wiccan park so half the crowd was Psyheads, but half was Wiccans. The Wiccans, many in their 40s and 50s, got naked and started dancing, tits to the ground and all. People were showering naked together. I met a girl who wore a basket of old leaves in her hair. We met some Burners (Burning man peeps) Shit was nuts to say the least.

I would go again except I cannot stand Psytrance these days. And the cover is steep. Plus finally going to sleep at 9 am in a tent with the sun beaming down, and kids playing music in their boomboxes all around you nonstop is very difficult. You gotta be young and crazy for this shit. Or very old and Wiccan!

[Angular Bliss]

For those looking for a fantastic summer festival to go to Then this is it.. Gaian Mind is one of those very special festivals full of amazing music, and incredible people. I highly recommend this festival for music lovers, peaceful enlightenment, meet and great new people, and just pure fun on all levels. Wish I could go this year:)

[RAMIRO]

the price may seem a bit pricey

but with all thats available to you, and the experiences.. its well worth it.. plus.. its 4days/3nights



Next year..

This i swear!

John, I remember that year, it was allot of fun.

This time there wouldn't be so many Wiccans (the venue is different this time), but I can't promise anything about the naked ppl.... :)

for some reason there are always naked ppl at outdoor festivals....

[2rip]

I am seriously trying to make it to this somehow. So far I haz to work but I've been waiting for a Gaian Mind experience.

Hi John, yes it's me

I am on the production team this year (and last) so I am heading to Ramblewood early tomorrow morning.
If you do end up coming, let me know.

[john c]

Aziz. PM me your number!

[Jay Selway]

I'm so there. Vibrasphere is (in my opinion) the best trance / prog / psy act out there. Worth the cover just to see them.

[*..*]

Been several times. Great event and community. Where all those people come from and what they do outside of this, I have no idea. 4 Quarters was an incredible spot, but last year EVERYONE got crazy sick due to a waterborne germ that the venue supposedly knew about, didn't warn anyone or do anything to fix it. Could all be here say, but anyway that's why it's not there any more.

Chillout area was always where it was at for me.

[Jay Selway]

I'm hoping to make it up for Saturday morning, so that I can catch Vibrasphere. They play at 9:30 am - 11am saturday morning.

[Jay Selway]

I'm definitely going :)
