Gathering of the Vibes - Sunday evening
Well, my first Gathering of the Vibes ended tonight at around 8 and I'm kind of looking forward to a little normalcy after a hectic four days at Seaside Park.
Since filing my story for Monday's Connecticut Post, I've finally had the chance to enjoy a decent meal, do some laundry, clean up around the apartment and spend some quality time with the pooch.
My feet are killing me, I'm so tired I can't sleep and yet, I think I'll miss the controlled insanity of the Vibes. Walking around the site, talking to campers, constantly trying to arrange my writing chores around the times that my favorite bands will perform. In hindsight, it was all kind of fun.
But in less than 12 hours, I'll be back at my desk for another 40-hour work week. Then I'll most certainly be missing the Vibes.
But four days seems like just the right amount of time for this event. I think I need a break from large crowds, stilt-walkers, hula hoops and young women walking around wearing bikini tops. (All right, I'm lying about that last part.)
I hope the festival returns to Bridgeport next year. Now that I'm no longer a Vibes virgin, I'm sure I'll have even more fun the second time around.
