Manchester, UK: 2008-10-29

I would like to incjet a bit of the downside just so folks attending will go with both eyes open do NOT bring your children to this festival. In addition to the wonderful music and yoga, there were also three deaths. I'd stake my next paycheck that, in addition to extreme heat, they were the result of copious amounts of drugs. I'm not just talking a little pot either. I'm talking young people rolling their faces off on Ecstasy and walking around with signs requesting doses' or shrooms.' Gone are the days of moderate drug use it's as much as you can get as often as you can get it and you don't much care if you don't make it to the music concerts because you got too high to make the walk down. Though I saw some amazing music, I will be thinking twice about attending next year.
