I went to an epic bush party/doof in Ourimbah Forest on Saturday night. Called The Garden Path.
Was free, two stages about 200 people in a great location.
I know this may not be in the spirit of the thread but the most enjoyable aspect of the party for me was the distinct lack of Psytrance :D
I was there too, that was no doof!
Well maybe it was... not in my experience though.
I'm firmly entrenched in the Psytrance family of doofing though.
I didn't like the atmosphere at that party, didn't meet any cool new people (I'm sure we just didn't bump into each other IXinX) and I just couldn't appreciate the music.
I think much of the problem was the two stages being so close together that it wasn't easy to hear one without the other.
Then again maybe I just don't like the pounding D'N'B and whatever else it was being played there.
Seriously though I reckon that second stage was trying to play stuff that couldn't be danced to for most the night, I kept seeing people go to dance there and then just stopping moving and walking off.
Did see one of the most amazing poi swingers I've ever seen though, my fire twirling mates had some chats with him but I was a little too grounded for meets and greets at that point. Hopefully we get to meet in the future as I have some twirler/poi swinger friends that would love to poi with that guy.
I gave it a go though! Can't rag on a party without experiencing it I say. I probably won't find myself at similar parties any time soon I think. Glad to have tried it and I did see some unexpected friends turn up there, so all in all a good experience.
Just a bad party...
