Hey all,

I am still pretty much a Rainbow Serpent Festival newbie, having been to only two. I'm hooked, you are not going to get rid of me in a hurry.

At RSF 2002, I was blown away by the extreme kindness and friendliness of the crowd. It was unlike any other festival that I had been to. After that weekend, I found myself comparing every event or festival to Rainbow, and and nothing even came close.

RSF 2003, didn't let me down either. One of my fondest memories of that summer, is driving down to the local pools on those scorching days to cool off. A friendly vibe and some sweet beats.

These photos can not show the fun that I have at Rainbow, but they remind me of personal times i've had and why I will continue going to RSF's for many more years.

The top picture shows two people engaged in the fighting dance called Capoeira. This was the first time I had seen performed and was memorized by the agility and grace of the participants.

The bottom picture shows after dancing my little heart out at the main stage on Sunday morning, I walked past this scene. It shows the relationship of human and earth entwined by music - pretty much sums up the meaning of Rainbow Serpent Festival for me. The dancer was more then happy to let me take his photo.

See you there in 2004,

Chris.
