WHOLE EARTH
May. 9th, 2008 07:56 pmThe whole earth festival is this big, amazing event where hippies set up tents filled with wonderful - sustainable, pretty, wholesome, and inevitably expensive - things to buy. It's something I look forward to like I look forward to PantheaCon - it's basically worth not being in Ireland to be here, enjoying it.
So far, I've bought $150 worth of stuff. But you know? It's birthday money, which is not like real money at all. (Like how Euros look like play money. Only not.) And I will not let myself feel guilty about buying clothes I like. Plus, they're made of bamboo and hemp and organic cotton and weren't made by children or in sweatshops or overseas. So there.
I've seen just about all of my friends there, too. Basically, everyone who is my friend, goes to the Whole Earth Festival. (I think it's a pretty good way to pick friends.)
Whole Earth quotes (so far):
"Let's just lie out on the quad so we don't spend any more money."
"Want to hug my Goddess?"
TBC - 2 more days of goodness to go! XD
ETA: Day 2 was great, too. It was sandwiched by the Farmer's Market and Osaka Sushi and so was extra nice. ^^
Quotes:
"This bear claw was a lot longer than I was expecting."
"Bears are big. They have big claws."
"She just gave you soap? For free?" (someone talking to a dirty hippy)
I managed to spend only around $80 today... but it was mostly on one sweatshirt. I'm a bit tired of walking around and spending money, so I think tomorrow I'll make things out of glass. Because I managed to completely fail at buying anything for my mom. Wish me luck!
