Circo del Ombra

Creating a tent that is easy to
setup and bring to different
festivals and events. From
burners to rainbows, traveling
setting it up. Growing a group,
loosing members. A circus, for
enlightenment, for awakening.

Taking people in, strays and
misfit. Teaching them, training
them, being weird with them.

I've met some groups like that in
the past. I've dreamed of a life
like that with friends. I've
talked to some people about it.
Nicola, in particular. A Clown
Shaman, he had a similar ideas.

It motivate me to keep going with
my life. To train, to stretch, to
build, to learn. This weekend
I've setup my synth rig, with the
smpltrek as the main audio mixer,
my mopho and my effect pedal.
Small enough to fit in one
synth bag, but powerful enough to
make people dream, meditate and
dance. The geodesic dome is also
quite small to carry, which would
remove the need for a tent, or
the pop-up tent for massage.
My massage mat, with my hammock,
the camping kitchen, my tattoo
gear... I guess we'll have to
wait for next summer to give it a
try. A few more event this
summer, I'll put some of these in
practice. 

Can I lead such a circus? I don't
think I'm a follower. The crew
from the psytrance seems to run
along these lines. I like them,
I'll take note next time I'm
around. What makes them continue
to work together.

I've rested a lot this weekend,
back into a bit of normality. My
legs are doing better, my energy
is high. I kill a packrat and a
few mice. Cleaned the house.

We're preparing for a party on
Tuesday. I got some party light,
laser lights, lots of beer. It's
not a psychedelic crew, which is
all right. I catch myself being
excited about the event, but it's
not going to be too crazy. I hope
to connect with her, but it might
not happen either. I might just
be a responsible host, looking
out for the others, not partying
too much. 

After that, it's going to be
quiet for a few weeks, until the
22, for the psytrance party. I
should show up on the 21st, I
hope, so I can help with the
decoration, and leave on the 24,
to take down the party, then it's
Rise, which I think I will be
going on the 26 to the 31st.

I could probably be on the road
this whole time, but it's wiser
to come back home, take care of
my cat.

It will be an early night
again. It's cold enough that I
can go for a bath, soak my feet
that are still hurting a bit.
I'm looking forward to see what
I'll dream about tonight.
