Gem and Jam Festival

Do you like smoking pot in public, wickens, listening to trip hop, looking at psychodelich street art, believe crystals have magical spiritual healing abilities, or hanging out with hundreds of young people committed to being high, homeless, and super dirty? If you answered yes to ALL of the above then this festival is for you.
This festival is NOT for the average gem show goer. Most music festivals have a wide range of socioeconomic and other diversity. This one is heavily dominated by a subculture that embraces dreadlocks, bad hygiene, and living on the streets by choice. If you are an outsider to this group like me, then you may find it fascinating and amusingly bizarre. I actually had a good time because I do like some but not all of the above, which is why I find choosing a star rating difficult.
The good: Cool sound stage, lighting, and entertainment. Beer stand, and plenty of weed openly sold, shared, and smoked if you enjoy that sort of thing. A surreal experience for the open minded and non judgemental freedom loving RESPONSIBLE libertarian.
The bad: not many food choices. The venue is not comfortable. No seating except the ground.
The ugly: crowded, dusty, and lots of BO. Lots of people really, really high [watch your step for vomit]. With freedom comes responsibility people.
