This is the ashtray everyone attending Ozora Festival last year received on entry.
I use it to empty my pipe ash into.
It didn't stop all tobacco smokers at the festival tossing their butts, but it decreased the quantity of them.
I take it to every festival now.๐ฅฐ

Not able to afford to be at AUM Festival for Pitch Black for NYE, but the weather is turning shit, and I had the best time of my life earlier in the year at Ozora Festival in Hungary on my #BucketListTrip2024.
No complaints.
Can't do everything, can't be everywhere.โ๏ธ

Last set in the Dome for Ozora Festival 2024.
Benji Vaughan set, he played all my favourite Younger Brother tracks.๐
This guy's outfit was fucking wicked, stunningly awesome, and he was dancing right in front of me.๐

I was so excited to get a photo of Mate Rimac at the Goodwood Festival of Speed that I didn't even notice he was chatting with Christian von Koenigsegg.๐ฎ

Preparing myself mentally for dealing with our shit-for-brains Govomelette.
I hate having to reduce my intellect to their level, but it can't be avoided.

Glad I didn't do the currency conversion when I was in Istanbul. Just found out I was paying NZ$60 per gram for cannabis.๐ฑ๐คฏ
Faaaaaaaaaaaaark!
OUCHIES!

Joined today's 420 zoom meeting from my hotel in Hong Kong.
Good to catch up with friends, but watching them smoke 420 weed while I have no cannabis wasn't so much fun.
Cannabis will be waiting for me when I exit the airport and I will be stoned before we leave the car park.๐
#BucketListTrip2024
No time to get my suit cleaned for Parliament when I return from my #BucketListTrip2024.
There will be Ozora Festival dust present in the Gallery for a couple of weeks.
Hope it helps.๐ฅฐ

Silhouette of Ott opening the Dome at Ozora festival 2024
Ott opened the Dome at Ozora Festival and I don't think it was an accident that none of the projectors or lights were aimed directly at him.
Played all my favourites, he really revved the crowd.
Choice!

Ozora Festival 2024: The Dome
The Dome is my home๐ฅฐ
It began with Ott, it ended with Benji Vaughan.
...and everything in-between.๐
A week enveloped and delighted and enraptured by exceptional performances from the artists who populate my music collection.๐ฅฐ๐บ๐
Unforgettableโค๏ธ

Ozora Festival day one.
Did so much walking getting here in the afternoon heat I had massive cramp attacks.
Also, 24 hours on trains means I need a good sleep before the official opening ceremony tomorrow at 8pm.

Simontroyna station doesn't have platforms.
The train stops, you climb down and carry your gear across the tracks.
#BucketListTrip2024
Arrived at Simontroyna.
Too many people for the first shuttle bus.
Waiting for it to rwturn in 10 minutes.
It was jam packed and the next one will be only half full.
I can wait to avoid playing sardines.
Ozora Festival I'm nearly there.๐ฅฐ
