Power to the Peaceful!

Weather: miserable and grey
Mood: really really chilled and happy
Activity of the day: Power to the Peacful concert


I just came back from an amazingly beautiful festival called Power to the Peaceful headed by Michael Franti at Golden Gate Park, which in itself is an wonderful green area of the park. There were lots and lots of markets and places to eat, with two stages and about 40,000 people milling around. The day was pretty grey and towards the end it was spitting which made it sooo cold, but other than those factors not controlled by us it was awesome! Blackalicious and Michael Franti were the main players of the day and their sets were really energised and full of meaning... peace yo!! I was right up front next the the bass and Mr Franti which was unbelievable... I think this concert gig in the name of peace made the playing so much more powerful and there was an enourmous amount of energy in the air. I'll show you some photo from today...


The crowd goes wild for.....



Michael Franti.... so make some noise!!! (I was hypnotized by the sign translator next to him)
