I post on the Om Message board on a regular basis and this is the entry that I posted regarding the Freespace Beginning of the New World party on Saturday night…

“Another thing I noticed happened for me on this night (that doesn’t *usually* happen at clubs), was the wonderful feeling of FREEDOM.

There is something particularly liberating about dancing outside at a free event. This public place was available to all who made the effort to get there, and it didn’t need to be paid for (except for those who spent their own money to get there or to add to the night in some special way). I found it very satisfying to see a pro-active community working together towards a common goal – it totally rocked!

Also, there is something particularly magical about being in a place that has such natural beauty and energy, where the sounds of the birds mingle with the beats and the sounds of laughter and happy people talking. At some points it didn’t feel like we were in a city at all (especially near a highway!), but rather in a far away, safe, and wonderful place that was accessible to anyone who truly wanted to be there.

And, there is something particularly enlightening in realizing that this CAN and DOES happen inside such a big city that sometimes feels so cold and unfriendly. Thank you Freespace, for expanding my reality once again.”

I also had a wonderful time at the MidiMiliz/BLA event on the Friday night. Now THAT was a psytrance party! woohoo!
