Some hardcore dirt ravin' for sure! Despite the rain, I had a phenomenal time! Big UPS to AO for their efforts & LOVE.

Met some really great people, reconnected with old friends & just really had an all around awesome camping adventure. Can't say it was my first time to disco-camp in the rain

Thanks again to everyone involved!! See most of you in a couple of weeks! YAY!

I had a blast until the tarp i was under ruptured and flooded the tent i was inside of.
Im now sick with around 101 fever chills and body aches but for the happy moments and new things i got to experience id do it all over again ... just with 2 pair of shoes and more pants this time lol
The music was ill, mad props to the soundclash boys for bringin it proper, Aeon played a remix of one of my favorites, yony tweaked the fuck out of the mixer once the sound came back on. Dawn played a beautiful set and i really dug cinder vomits down tempo stuff.
thanks to lil brent for playing my track (reminds me its time to start writing again)
Thank you to the 30 or so people that set or danced in the rain while i played for 2 hours.
Thank Chris and the fam for all the good times and thank tyson for driving us out there

Hope to see all yall in 2 weeks!

Massive props to Atrium Obscurum and everyone else involved in still making a party happen despite the rain. I didn't get there till Saturday and I must salute all who stayed for the weekend.

I had a great time and was inspired by the resilience of the psy community... or maybe we're all just crazy

Dancing in the rain to Cinder's set ranks among my top psychedelic experiences... and I wasn't even on any of the things we shouldn't mention on the DDM.

It sucks when we get a unexpected guest.
What do you do?
Rock it when when you can.
Sorry guys for the bad weather.
Some great music and cool peps.
Better Luck next time.

WOW and what a friggin weekend!!! First off I just want to say thank you to everyone who put their energy into making this event go off. I mean my friend Lydia made a really good point. We were most def fighting The Nothing and dancing in the swamps of despair. Really though I think this was one of the craziest gatherings i have ever been to with that much rain. This community came together and made sure this party went on. Katie,Alex and friend putting up the tarps over the dance floor on the main stage,AO and friends making sure all the equipment was covered and raised,Dawn,sean,Lydia and friends who brought out more deco, and so on and so on..... For those who made it out it was truly a bonding experience with everyone from our community. I only know of a few people who actually left.

My highlight of the night was when Jason (Klinz) gave up his slot for Cinder on the downbeat stage when the main was flooded out. it was POURING down rain and seeing 30 maybe 50 people dancing barefoot or with rain boots on while it coming down like crazy. Nick and I were dancing in big puddle. I felt like a child again.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who was there to support and to everyone who contributed to make it happen. I think this is one for the books for sure.
Peace to you all...

What a party. This will be one of my most remembered Psy trance events of my life. I fucking had a blast. One thing I can say about my Psy family," you people don't fuck around" You crazy bastards. Thanks to brian, Jess and the gang for throwing down a weekend to remember.

in your words" I had a great time as a swam back to my tent"

Geez where do I start....

This gathering was a test of our mettle and our ability to face an overcome adversity. The rain/The Nothing came at us in full force and provided many hurdles. Regardless though the community came together and always found a way to make the best of what was at hand. Our intention for this event was centered around just that, strehgthening our community and it shone through in all its glory.

I thought it was funny when we were setting up the main stage on friday and tried digging into the ground to create my Swamp of Sadness. I had our little Artex and was ready to be creative, but the ground was to hard and I didn't have the right tools nor enough water to waste. Alas, all I had to do was wait a few hours because the heavens opened up and by saturday night we certainly had our swamp!!!

There are soooooo many people to thank. I would like to start with my wife for being there every step of the way and for sharing the creative juices that was at the center of the genesis for this intentional gathering. An immense amount of love and thanks goes out to Keith and Laine. You both took the time to sink your teeth into this vision. You both brought so much to the table in creative energy, time, and everything else that you had to offer. You are both integral parts of Atrium Obscurum and I am so glad to be able to share these experiences with you two. Thanks to Alex and Katie for getting Cinder's wife Casey to the gathering, and for all the work you put in on making saturday night on the main stage happen. It was really wonderful to be able to finally connect with you both in a way that fosters a future friendship!! Thanks to Jimmy from Austin, the non-dj, for all your hard work and help that you put in. It wasn't asked of you to do so, but you jumped at the opportunity to be a part of it all. Thanks to Fletcher & Donna & the food lady. Your presence at this gathering was a welcomed addition in all that you individually brought to the table. From your energy, to the sustenance, to the altar pieces....it was all perfect and I look forward to extending opportunities to you all in the future. Thanks Nick for being there when we needed you, and for taking it upon yourself to be the helping hand that you are. Your enthusiasm for doing what you could was a welcomed sight. Thank you Lydia & family for deciding not to kill me when you arrived Thank you as well for working the gate with my wife, and spreading the most beautiful love that you do Thank you Sean and Dawn for providing the deco on the second stage. I wasn't in the right place at the time to truly express my gratitude for all the hard work that you two willingly did. Your contributions don't go unrecognized and I am very happy to have our friendship and to have you as a part of our tribe. Thank you to Jesse and Josh for providing some integral parts to any gathering of this nature. Your individual generosity is a breath of fresh air, and I am happy to have been long time friends with both of you Thank you to Jimo and those that dug the trench behind the main stage dj setup to allow the water to drain out and make that space usable again. Thank you to all my psy family and to all those whom I haven't been able to truly sit down and connect with. Without all of you these events wouldn't hold the power and the meaning that they do. We provide the foundation and the colors and you all create the picture. You all came out and stuck it through as the Nothing swept through and tried to destroy what we had built/are building. Thank you for being open to the experience and the intention that we had laid out, and thank you for being willing participants in our journey. I hope I didn't forget anyone, and if I did....please, please know that we in AO appreciate what you do/did and that we would love to see you out again. Lastly, a big thanks to the rain. You may have hit me in my pocket, but you also allowed our intention to be lived out. I, as well as others, are still coming into that knowledge that has been bestowed on us through this experience and we are grateful for it.

We had the best of times dancing in the rain to David/cinderVOMIT's set. It was very powerful and unique. I wish it hadn't have been interrupted, but I am thankful that it was saw completely through in the morning. Other sets that stood out to me were Jeff/Vampyromorpha's on friday night. Talk about some crazy, intense music. I was so happy to pick up on you playing some music that you held back for the right set/setting. What I caught of Jimo's set on friday night was great as well. Catfish, you played a nice down tempo set. I wasn't actually at the stage for it, but I knew you were playing and enjoyed it. Melvin, you were playing a really nice set till the puddle and propensity for being electrocuted arose Next time my man you will be able to finish what you started. Dawn, thanks for laying out your beautiful music to start out the saturday night. It is always a pleasure to hear you play, and you will always have a place at our gatherings Jason/Klinz, as Jessica already noted, thank you for giving up your slot in order for David to play. That was a selfless act that was just another cog in the community in action wheel. We will have you out again so that you might grace us with your musical styling. For all those whom I didn't catch/hear, thank you for bringing to the table what you did. You all played a piece in this puzzle, and this gathering wouldn't have been as grand as it was without you.

Much love to all my family & my tribe

Brian and his super dooper long reviews.. I love him! Seriously guys thank you all so much for your contributions making sure this thing went on and thank you all for being part of it and creating such a beautiful vibe. That rain shook us all to the core but we were able to get past that and dance in the rain while making some beautiful new friendships. I don't even feel like I can describe what all went on at this event. YAY for a such a kick ass community!! But yeah I had a rawkin good time...
