\"geo-solstice<\/p>\n

Eight inches of snow in Seattle wreaked havoc with our travel plans but the good news is that I wound up getting to go to the Geo-solstice, at the Gingerbread House, geomagetic.tv’s party celebrating nine years with the Phoenix Family.\u00c2\u00a0 Solid sets from Saturnia and Witchdokta and then a great one from Dr. Spook.\u00c2\u00a0 Good stuff upstairs too from ClyMAX, Diplomatic, and Kush Aurora.<\/p>\n

It was a young crowd … hanging out on the stairs at one point, a guy started up a conversation with me by saying “at your age, you’re still coming out here, do you still feel the vibe?”\u00c2\u00a0 Yeah, totally, but I’m not sure how I feel about the the “at your age” part.\u00c2\u00a0 The dialog continued:<\/p>\n

“Is this something you were doing back when you were our age?”<\/p>\n

“No, I was a punk.”<\/p>\n

“Huh.\u00c2\u00a0 In one sentence, what’s the same between the scenes?”*<\/p>\n

“Out of the mainstream.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not the mall.”<\/p>\n

“And what’s the biggest difference?”<\/p>\n

“Musicians are a lot more competent now.\u00c2\u00a0 Back then a lot couldn’t even play their instruments.”\u00c2\u00a0 Which was part of the rawness and excitement but still.<\/p>\n

Then he had me pick one word to write on him to sum it all up — somebody had just written “juggler” on his chest.\u00c2\u00a0 He pointed to a place on his shoulder.\u00c2\u00a0 I thought about it for a moment and wrote “better”.<\/p>\n
