the oregon country fair

the official site. the wiki. amazing time. highly reccomended. eco tech, art, music, magic, naked hippies, all ages, great food, local tradition... everything except bumpin beats (and that probably goes down in the late night participants only part...) the local weekly was all glowing about how the fair was founded in deep counter-culture, anarchy, love and psychedelica... and how that's all so relevant, now. this is the newspaper's opinion, remember. the people there seemed even more geeked... witness:

the best hat at the fair...


a large wooden dragon structure (falcor?)...


huge drum structure... sounded great...


the entrance (read the sign!)...


the general sentiment...


it was largely in shade trees packed tight...


great "permanent" structures...


overall alfons mucha-inspired graphic design...


witness some more photos (NSFW!) that give a fuller and even better idea here...
