Joshua Tree Music Festival

I couldn't have asked for a better location for a festival. I love that desert.

There was a great selection of music on both stages. Definitely the highlights for me have to be Zilla on Saturday night, and then Hamsa Lila playing from midnight to sunrise afterwards. Beautiful. Trance-inducing. Hypnotic. I also really enjoyed the Benevento-Russo Duo on Sunday. I look forward to seeing those guys again when I'm not completely exhausted from a night of ecstatic dance. ;-)

The intimacy of the festival made it particularly special. I feel like I left with some new good friends, and connected more deeply with old friends.
