We are waiting here for a press conference about what happened. (not that we don't know already) We were right in the middle of it all! I dove in and took a whole roll of pictures which we will post later. The strangest thing was the weird feeling that was in the air. I just can't explain it. I have never experieced anything like this. The "savages" gathered in groups throughout the site next to their blazing bonfires and pounded metal cans together in a strange tribal beat as you heard screams and yelling and large bangs from the semi trailers exploding! They looted and destroyed property and ran screaming through the festival grounds as armed police with billie clubs and fire engines moved in to calm the chaos. (Which was gettin worse with every minute) I doubt I will ever experience any sight like this again unless we go to war on our own soil. I just can't imagine...
Why did it have to end like this?
