Yeah some hippies can be very judgmental but you cant generalise......

Lol. You said right after generalizing about people who wearcwhite sneakers and go to clubs. ;)

The whole thing is a joke. I just don't use enough teef!

We all know down to earth people come in all shapes, sizes and genres.
:lol:

which is why rainbow is so much fun, everyone from lotsa walks of life comes together and shares alcohol for the free bar and is united by spray bottles and woodfired pizza for 5 days.

pete - no im not hostile, im fucking happy to be finally working at a serious logistic level on a festival I have been attending/making decor at for years n years.

lol

a quick wiki search turned this up
-Open Eye Visuals (OEVs), such as cartoon-like distortions and red or green halos around objects are common. Closed Eye Visuals (CEVs) are more common than OEVs.
-Affects and alters ability to communicate, engage in deep thought, or maintain attention span.
-Some users report experiencing frightening or fearful effects during the experience. Users describe feeling frigid or cold on reaching a plateau, while others feel wrapped in comfortable blankets/ultimate pleasure.

haha i reckon i was on fire too

realised after ages that i'd been having a d&m with this dude in the middle of the dancefloor for what seemed like about 6 hours. distinctly remember feeling totally oblivious to the fact that i'd been standing right in front of a heaving 20k soundsystem, and had a moment of panic upon thinking that some sneaky dj had turned the music off so everyone could listen to us talking shit
