May -08 Lightning In a Bottle

Lightning In a Bottle is an arts and music performance festival, that is a spin off of Burning Man of sorts. It is put on by the Do Lab, which is an LA presentation art company, that has done concerts at Burning Man and other places.

They have music ("House Music" is the main type, played all hours day and night at almost deafening levels), programs and workshops ranging from "Backyard Composting" to "Edible plant nature walk for kids" to "Yoga", "Meditation", "Tantra", "Green Foods", and all sorts of other stuff - so it's more organized than Burning Man. It also has a regular Faire type venue of booths which you can actually buy and sell stuff at (unlike at burning man) such as food, cloths, herbs, and random "Burning Man", "Hippie", "Enviro-nerd", "Steam Punk", "Neo Vicki", or otherwise odd ball type products (note that I consider my self at least interested in most of the above... :) )

A bunch of picts below in no particular order...

During a parade

A perambulator with several kids in it
Floor dancing
One of the stages - this one made from recycled materials, to look like a temple.
The main plaza, with "Orchids" and shops in the back

Delilah enjoying some coco by the stage
Bubbles at one of the stages
An early reveler doing hooping (very popular)
Some of the outfits
And players

And finally, a video of the parade.
