I can try. I have never painted anyone else before. I use the good stuff too. Ben Nye face paint, setting powder, and finishing spray. As you saw with my Dark Lotus makeup, which after sleeping on it over night, was still on in the morning. The professional stuff is the only way to go. I have white and black, of course, and red.

Ben Nye is the truth a buddy of mine who is a legit Ringling brothers clown does paint for some of the homies when we go to shows if hes in town…that shit is impenetrable.  I think the middle dude in my avatar pic has his work on.

I went to my first Gathering by myself. There are pros and cons.

Either way, no matter what, you will have a good time. As long as you are not an “island” and actually go out of your way to say hello to people (whoop whoop, excuse me).

Which is really the only “con” of being there by yourself. Unless you manage to hook up with your camp mates or some other ninjas, all your thoughts are stuck up in your head with no one to share with. Like going to a movie and not having someone to look over and share the badass explosions or laugh at the funny bits with.

All the more reason to be a social person while there. If yer feelin’ it or are laughing at the same thing as the guy next to you, take part in it.

The Gathering has a much different vibe than other festivals. Like people have said, it’s a party. A party you got invited to. Everyone is there to be with everyone else not JUST be amongst a mass of humanity as you shuffle from stage to stage on a schedule. We’ve been given the tools to make a party of our own… And when you’re ON your own, you get to decide when yer sick of something and walk away or there’s not having to drag someone else away from something THEY were into. Walk as fast as you want. Eat when ya want. Sleep when ya want. Going solo has a freedom to it that lets you decide what you spectate and what you participate in and for how long. BUT…

The flip side of that is without someone else around, there’s no one to give you ideas. “What do you wanna do now?” “I dunno”. “Well, let’s go try this!” or there’s no one to make you stick around an event despite yourself, “C’mon, let’s stay and watch this shit!”.

So it really just depends on how comfortable you are with having a monolog running through your head until you get a chance to share with others. Like I said, regardless of anything else you WILL enjoy yourself! But I ain’t gonna lie that until I managed to get to know my camp mates and made a fire together when it got freezing, you’ll still have moments where you’d wish you had someone familiar around to share what you’re seeing and doing… but that’s why you bring cameras n’shit so you can get to do all that later when you post it all!

Just think of yourself as an adventurer and not a stranger in a strange land.

National Geographic n’shit…

Aw…! …shucks!
