^ Oh my GOSH dude I feel for you... hope you're ok now!
...it was my first Rainbow and I absolutely LOVED it - in terms of all the magnificent artwork, originality and diversity of people... my friend did the UV dragonfly & butterfly to the right side of the market stage
The food was SO yummy... Vegie curry wrap was delish... and the wood oven pizzas were tops! Did anybody try a Dande Latte from The Holy Cow? YUM!
I gotta agree the toilets were great, I was amazed at how they didn't smell one bit!
The weather was a bit funny, I guess it's good it wasn't scorching hot, but the wind was a bit annoying with all that dust, and the nights (especially Saturday) got a little too cold... I wore long sleeves most of the time but my face got REALLY badly burnt - you can see where I'd been wearing my sunnies hehe
Music was kinda disappointing... Saturday afternoon especially with that cheesey girly remixed stuff... Market Stage played some neat stuff, I think it was Monday morning when they played some really good techno... Not all my friends are that into tek so they got a bit bored of it... would have been nice to have had a bit more of a variety of diff psy sounds.
Met some wonderful people from around the globe... and I found it so touching when two girls walked past me and one had her hand to her chest saying to her friend "I feel so much love in this country..." :D
Awesome vibe, beautiful unique people, gorgeous happy children, friends, fun, shenanigans... 'ok' music... overall though, a rather splendid weekend! Should get some pics up soon
Oh and Ronny - You came up to my friend to take a pic of her... then instantly shooted off into the crowd before I could grab you & ask "Are you Ronny?" (as we haven't met in person)... and yeah sure enough it was you... then I couldn't find you for the rest of the festival... hehe... oh well
