Festival

Last year, I went to Burning Man, a festival quite unlike anything else on earth. To call it an ‘Arts Festival’ would be doing it a disservice. I won’t go into the ins and outs of it because it’ll take me several hours to write something satisfactory. Instead, check this out. It’s done the rounds on the Internet and has gone spectacularly viral since its release and is still one of the best Burning Man videos I’ve seen. ...

I came across this tiny snippet of a TED video on the youtubes and rather unsurprisingly, it’s stupendous! It sort of mirrors how I came to be at this point in my life – by saying “yes” to stuff and trying new things, even if they seem somewhat far-fetched. It’s how I got round to going to Burning Man, despite never having been and being completely out of my depth. ...

Came across this lovely piece of photographic goodness on the Internets and it’s truly impressive how the guy managed to lug around his lighting rig for four days!

Right. Now that I actually have time to post a real entry about SL, here goes. To begin with, I wasn’t going to go to Southern Lights as I was quite simply too poor to afford a ticket. Thankfully, the gorgeous Safire stepped in and offered me one of hers in exchange for hugs on demand. A fair trade. The festival kicked off on Friday the 11th, but I was booked that day to celebrate a friend finishing exams. ...

I can’t post a full writeup of the Southern Lights festival I went to but I did draw a map of what I roughly remember it being like.  A rough map of Southern Lights 2010
