Oregon Country Fair

It’s soo crowded and hot during the day but if you can stay in at night by any means, do so! At night, it’s trippy and more mellow.

Set in the woods, you feel like your in a fairy tale (this feeling can also be increased with the help of hallucinogens, although these are not necessary… no drugs are needed at all because this place is so phantasmagorical).
This event (although it does not seem temporary, it seems that it’s as permanent as one’s imagination) is slightly overwhelming. There are so many great shows and workshops and gallerys going on at the same time at different places that it is hard to know what to do. This confusion could probably be avoided if you were to go every year and knew your way around and knew what shows were not to miss.
So go with an open mind, money or items to barter with, and a costume (you will feel slightly out of place without one)...

soooooooooooo much fun
