Uncivilisation Weekend May 31, 2010

What a weekend! I haven't had chance to post anything until now, I have several 100's of photos to sort through and edit so what I have included below is only a small sample. From those tiny workshops (particularly loved the food foraging with Andy Hamilton) and small poetry readings. Lively debates, including 'that debate' between Dougald and George Monbiot. Others will write up better than I can, but for me, both Vinay's comments that this is one planet and demand is increasing, and Gaia's comments about issue networks really hit home. It was interesting hearing the mixed reactions people where having to it. The evening was full of lively music, the wonderful Power Down in the Church mixed with the 'Death Blues' of Bleak. Marmaduke Dandos delightful singing on Friday and Saturday, and the Impromptu Sing-along with Briony before closing out with Chris Woods on the Sunday evening.

I'll do a proper write up fully, both here and on my main blog with my thoughts on Uncivilisation Festival and Dark Mountain in general, and get through my photos and put them on flickr. In the mean time, here's a sample.
