Once I find something I like I tend to stick with it for a while or want to do it again right away. Nateva Festival, for example! Flaming Lips, in particular, since that kind of theatrical, cult like experience appeals to me and will bring me back again and again. What took me so long to see them?
Today I went out to the Portland Farmer's Market to read tarot cards. I met such interesting people, like Peter who was working the jewelry booth next to me, selling his wife's designs, and Robyn who was representing the Meditation Center in South Portland. I went there thinking I might make some money, but what I found out was that the payoff this week was really the feeling I got from being there. I made only a little bit of cash, however I will be back next week. Maybe I will tell another kid he can go to college and study Egypt even if he's been encouraged to learn the heating and air conditioning business since that's "where the money is". No judgment here, but this same 14 year old's mom disposed of tarot cards someone bought him in Egypt! She was afraid or had her convictions about them which is fine, but I told her she should have given them to a bookstore or something (while her son sat down and perused my Morgan Greer deck and proceeded to draw out The Lovers!!)
I want to blog about Nateva more but I need more time and more photos to show. Let it suffice to say this was my first ever camping experience (thanks Marcel!), first time seeing every band other than the ones from Portland, and included the realization that I can enjoy jam bands, love The Flaming Lips and Passion Pit, and want to do the overnight festival thing again, maybe even this summer.
Peace, wine, and sunshine!
