First day… Cat Empire were amaz­ing, Wild Marmalade were amaz­ing. I feel a bit sad that I ended up doing both on my own: the first because the gang wer­en’t really into it, the second because I didn’t have my mobile on me.

I want someone on my wavelength to share music and joy with me…

The open­ing cere­mony was lovely: we sang “time is a trav­el­ler” and pledged alle­gi­ance to the People’s Repub­lic of Wood­ford, to exhil­ar­ate in the music and respect the land. There were fire­works. It was very pretty.

Ran into Toby and Lily and read them the mask­maker and the firedan­cer poem, which was pretty cool. They loved it. They finally have e‑mail so we’ll see whether they keep in touch this time.

Jacky, the Span­ish singer I ran into in the street a few weeks ago, is here… he’s a very emo­tional boy, is Jacky. Also ran into Lisa Brown from high school… and of course, Melinda is here. 

After Wild Marmalade, I hung around the Chai tent a little and saw a guy I thought I knew. His name is Daniel and he has beau­ti­ful eyes. I didn’t have time to talk, so I just said hi briefly. Maybe tomorrow…
