First Camping Daze with OBJ!!!!

OBJ is Orange Blossom Jamboree a music festival http://www.orangeblossomjamboree.com/ in Brooksville, FL. This camping trip took place May 2010 and it was filled of excitement and great music where i met alot of bands and friends.


The morganator and myself got to the camp site where our friends were. We borrowed a tent from Morgan's neighbors. As we set the tent up there were no rods to hold it up, what a tragedy! So our friend Kevin loans us a 2 man tent which only held half a man, but we were grateful. We both knew we weren't sleeping in it. We want to see how many people could actually fit in it so 4 of us crammed in there for 3 seconds then almost had a heart attack because it was so hot. We set up shop tables, chairs, buttons, a joke book (just in case) and we were off to explore. The vendors where great and one called the All Star Circus taught us how to poi ball which came pretty natural to me and we hoolah hooped with them. We continued on our journey to scope out the perimeter and to see some hott shirt less forest creatures.

We head back to our camp site and the "candy man" finds us and we are set for the night. Me and the morganator gets separated and i find myself in the vortex. The vortex was a long truck and on the inside was a plank you stand on and the walls move in a circular motion around you with multiple colors making you dizzy and shit which was awesome! After hanging with some kids at the vortex we smoked a bowl and hung out then went to jam to some music. I am a sucker for Live music so I had a blast hoolah hooping with beer and friends.

Night time came along and I was given some extra "candy" and I just could stop talking to everybody. Some random guy was sitting at my tent and car just zoned out so I sat next to him to see what was up with him then the next thing I know I found myself on my car talking to a group of people, I felt like I was giving a lecture about how we all meet at a median. Then I thought I seen Jesus (well the idol Jesus we all seen on tv) walking towards the group. He had paintings in his hand and I was blown away by all of them and the stories that came with them made me cream my pants. I WAS IN LOVE! His name was Carl Alm http://www.carlalmart.com/ very talented artist and stole my heart with his stories.

That night/morning I slept in someone elses tent for like 2 hours, avoiding the half man tent. Morning came and I was up early with my wine at the camp site with Dave and Doug and there was a 5 hour conversation about a monkey in the tree that was not really a monkey but sure did look like something to that effect. Sandy screaming "Where my mimosas!" "Where my bitches!" and Jeff roaming around bare feet with his dog Bella (so cute). Music through out the day and just fun times. Kevin and Dave set Doug's toe on fire which was amazing and that's what he gets for falling asleep on a cot in the middle of our campsite.

That night/morning Morgan knocked out and I was on my own to roam again and there was where I met Cope http://www.therealcope.com/ where there was the jam session at their camp site. I met Greg who I fell in love with and I keep telling the morganator I'm gonna marry him. They found out it was my first camping trip and they made me feel at home. Such great people who play great music. After the jam session I was hanging around with Katya and the drums were moving my soul on the inside so I started singing. I felt as though I was in a trance and it was very refreshing. Everyone loved it and I'm glad they did, it felt like a word was to be shared between us and I just delivered it. We hit the vortex one last time, then I met James who reminded me of an Elf but looked nothing like one. It was his hat and bandanna around the neck that made me think that. We started talking and he put his hat on me and said lets go roaming so that's what we did. Traveled all over the place just to get to his camp site to hangout with his friends who looked like forest people and I totally asked them if they lived here meaning in the woods...that was bad! We laughed and they offered my some white powder crap that I'm not into so yeah I was out.

Met up with my Vortex buddies, did some freestyling, and dancing. It was morning at this time, I mean full blown misty meadows. People started complaining about the hip hop music being blasted then we simmered it down with some acoustic with Chris. I remember going back to the tent to take a nap and there was snoring coming from my half man tent, with man shoes outside of it. I hesitated for a moment and thought about sleeping in my car but I wanted to lay down so i was like "whatever" and crawled in. It was killer stroke hot in there. I'm laying down and I open my eyes and this dude has on tighty whiteys OMG! yes i had to kick him out of there, that's just not right and I couldn't breathe anyway. I seen him later on that day and it was A W K W A R D!

Well I know I missed a couple of details like when me and Morgan didn't hang all day and she bumped into me asking for my keys and I gave it to her not knowing it was her. That moment was priceless. There was a massive Bonn fire I thought the forest was on fire but when I got to it I had to take a moment to appreciate life and all God has given me. Lets not forget about the mud wrestling, I was so excited to see it maybe too excited because this little boy in front of me looked back at me with his hand on his hip and gave me the "are you serious?" look and shook his head and turned back around (rude but funny). Did some Bullets! Danced my ass off to some sick ass bands like Aquaphonics http://www.aquaphonicsband.com/ and 3rd Stone http://www.3rdstoneband.com/.
I was walking and talking with this dude they call Cypress and found out he was like 17, that was so not cool. El Matamugu was great www.myspace.com/levimatamugu it was cosmic reggae, that was another great band. New Gravity http://www.newgravity.net/ and so much more but since I wrote alot as is I will leave it at that.

My first camping trip I must say I chose the perfect music festival to do it at, now I'm hooked! I love my new friends hope to see them again soon and meet many many more.
