The Dark Side of the Booms

Here's a little trip report of 2 days ago:

Me and Bobby McGee/Mr.T decided to cash the remainder of the leftover shrooms from Halloween in the truck before we headed to see Dark Side of the Moon played live by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. We gulped it down wit ha slurpee and It was the best way of ingesting them I've tried so far! Our favourite record shop gave us 2 tickets to the sell out show, so we knew this would be a great night from the beginning.

We smoked a bowl in my portable piece pipe on the train platform while we waited to it to arrive. It was only a few stops before City Hall, our destination. The trees around the parliament building were decorated with bright white lights; the park in the distance with raindrop animation lights surrounding an ice rink... This was trippy even on the comeup.

"It's just about to start, I'll show you where to go!" the helpful stewardess assured us as we got in from the chilly wind. We got into the auditorium just as they were opening and our seats were in a convenient space (2 people from the door).

The comeup was great! Lots of giggling at silly things and a spinning wheel of never ending thought patterns as the Orchestra played Part one of the set (Floyd sounding related songs).

By the time Part 1 was over, we were trippin'! Yes indeed as we walked around the venue we felt like absolute characters walking around rambling and rapping anything that came to mind, looking at the abstract paintings that passed through our cosmic awareness.

T. went back to the seat while I waited in an 'out the door' lineup for the bathroom.. Taking a leak felt strange but very fun and I found it was somehow easier to do in a public place while tripping than sober or drunk?

I headed back to the seats and T. was sitting there unknowingly so I decided to do the 'cracked egg' (fist into sprawling fingers over unexpecting head) and he thought that was a trip. A few minutes later and Part 2 had begun.

This part they played the Floyd album in it's entirety, - Any Colour You Like. Still a great performance!! They had RBG roatation lights on the stage and a bunch of tripping shit behind them which was very entertaining, almost cheezy in that state! hahah

We were still trippin' after the show and we wandered around the scene afterwards for a while, checking out the conjoint museum entrance etc. We headed outside after and the City Hall scene was exuberantly trippy.

We walked back over across the street to the train and I felt like all of my negative baggage and mental constructs that have been holding me back my whole life have vanished. I was seeing the world with new eyes, and my creative force was almost overflowing to the point of myself constantly rambling on like Neal Cassidy and rapping about anything I saw, different feelings and how the world is...

We got on the wrong train, but thankfully it was the one that just circles around the downtown area. We somehow ended up back at City Hall without even paying attention to where we were or anything, which blew our fucking minds. The whole train ride I felt like a real character.. It felt that the entire compartment we were on was watching my every leg crossing and fidget..

I made love to a tree, pissingly after we arrived at our departure train stop. I was hugging the tree as I helped nourish it. It felt absolutely incredible to connect with nature intimately like that.

T. miraculously drove us (on booms! What a madman!) back to his place where we proceeded to load up the bong and we blazed all night long like Cheech&Chong etc. Cannabis really helped elevate the trip again, and the Closed eyed visuals after blazing were outstanding.

T. crashed and I did the 20 minute walk back to my place, feeling the last tiny bit of the experience fade away with the comedown of the ganja.

This was my favourite Mushroom experience, and the last couple days have been some of the happiest I've ever lived! Even my shitty job and work seemed awesome when sober the next day, and I was able to communicate to everyone there with good conversation skills, attention, care and love! (expressing myself to others, truly giving my attention and being active in conversation was an issue I was dealing with for months, maybe years before this experience.

And here we are; the day after the day after and I still feel a warm glow of creative magnetism, peace of mind and educational energy! Hope you enjoyed reading this my hip friends!

Namaste.

Hare Krsna.

 

Really Cool report. The show sounded like alot of fun and sounded like the trip transformed from a mostly recreational psilly trip to some deep content, Enjoyed reading it all except the part about driving on shrooms. Glad you have had lasting effects from the trip as well.

 

I love great trips like that

I had a day years ago where a bunch of groovy people and I tripped in a national park and spent the day walking around connecting to nature and playing under a waterfall and let the cool water wash away all the negativity in our lives. As we were coming down we came across a street vendor selling ice cream so we laid in the grass and savored the warm sun and the cool ice cream.


I can't remember the last time I was that happy and free.

After

 

Floyd and tripping are always a good combo
