Shambhala 2008

Whew.

Just got back from the mountains of central BC, where thousands of people descend on a dusty ranch for their annual dose of madness. I gotta give a shoutout to my boys from Homebreakin, who got me in at the absolute last minute in exchange for working the booth… the HBR takeover was in full effect this year. Big shit poppin.

Highlights of the weekend-
-DJ Nu Mark absolutely destroying the Village with a flawless evening set of funk, hip hop, and random club tunes. When you’ve got the dudes from The Rub and Smalltown DJ’s rocking out, you’re doing something right.
-the Lawnchair Generals playing a superb house & acid set as the thunderstorms started on friday night.
-Mat the Alien making jaws drop in the Rock Pit on thursday, dude is unreal.
-Fatty Fresh Burritos (an annual tradition).

This dude Robb that I was camped with took hundreds of good pictures, which I’ll put up (with his permission) hopefully by the end of this week. This was my fourth or fifth time at the festival, and honestly I think it was my favourite.
