At vibes last year I sent one off over the ocean after the last set of the weekend. People were taking pictures, sort of just watching it and enjoying the peace at the end of the fest. Just sort of a mellow feelling of "that was an awesome weekend" but much slower pace than the rest of the fest had been.
Any way. Watched it go way out over the ocean and then started walking back to my site. Maybe 10 minutes later I see something up in the sky above me. Like a plastic bag from the store just floating. (I mean it's bridgeport so not THAT surprising) So I keep walking. This bag starts getting close. I'm thinking "Nah, it couldn't be", "Could it?". Keep walking and I'm like holy fuck it might be. So I start chasing this thing. Jump a few fences keep running, and I caught the lantern out of the sky on the other side of the fest.
Was an amazing moment for me, especially in that state of mind.
