Another Dazzling Earth-Friendly Dope Summer Art & Music Festival (w/Camping!)
Pre-Sale Tix Mon, Feb 28
Now that I have locked down my tickets for Burning Man (see my post from January 31), the annual festival in Black Rock City, NV, and what I and at least 100,000 others humans consider to be the most creative event that humans have happening on this planet, it’s time to plan for another DOPE festival at the end of May: Lightning in a Bottle put on by the Do Lab crew from LA.

And you KNOW the Ladies of KeepITight LOVE US some ART, MUSIC, & SUSTAINABILITY!!!
Also this festival was recently awarded an *OUTSTANDING* Greener Festival Award!
They had a stage last year at Coachella if you were there (see below).

Anyway I went to LIB last year and camped out for 4 days. It was pretty much the most well-organized, enjoyable, and tree-shaded festival I have ever been to! They even had FREE WATER STATIONS available to everyone there. There were amazing artists, 3 excellent stages of glitch, dubstep, breaks, house and all kinds of tasty beats, including Middle Eastern Music, funk, and various electronica. Performers included: Nosaj Thing, Stephan Jacobs, MartyParty, Mimosa, Vibesquad, Lucent Dossier, Jupit3r, Daddy Kev & Nobody, Eliot Lipp, Heyoka, & Daedelus….
There were AMAZING artist painting live under the trees, as well as some of the coolest art installations and sculptures I have ever seen. The vendor’s section was amazing… oh and they had trapeze artists, belly dancers and fire-artists.
They even had a HUGE (I’m talking 100s of feet) Earth Harp!! So tasteful and elegant too… It’s kind of like a smaller-scale version of Burning Man, but with Trees & Water!
My favorite stop on the walk up the hill from the stages to the campgrounds was the huge TUB that my friends drove out there.
Dr. Bronner's Foam Tub (aka Foamo Arigato!)
It was sponsored by the grandson of Dr. Bronner’s soap (link) and featured Dr. Bronner’s minty foam soap and a rinse (about 15 foam tubes and 15 shower heads coming out of the walls of this massive Tub! Since it was the only shower for about 1000s of folks, it was a hotspot indeed!
