Groovy Troopers
This past weekend (25 - 27 March) I spent my time at the Groovy Troopers Vision Serpant trance party. I arrived on the Friday morning with my Golf 3 packed to roof with bags, tents and fellow troopers.
The venue was quite a distance outside of Cape Town, but the journey was enjoyable. Not too hot, traffic was relatively light and I had enough Monster to keep me awake for hours.
Despite being plagued by patches of Devil thorns, the venue itself was quite decent. With a prime campsite allowing for morning shade and the most magnificant view of the sunset, its little wonder that I felt so comfortable in putting up with the gale force wind channeled down throught the valley of De Hoek estate.
The venue also boasted a river and dam, perfect for waking up on the Sunday morning.
While I do not actively promote the use of illegal substances of any way shape of form, it must be said that the people surrounding me seemed unusally euphoric, making the trancefloor for me a fairly happy place. Stomping till the early hours of the morning, zoning out on the colourfully creative decor surrounding the stage.
Highlights include Biorythm, Xatric and the sunday set (but by then my legs were buggered)
All in all it was a great weekend. Very irie. Very worth it.
