the last 2 years ive held a get together called shpongleween. it started with 10 people in my 1 apartment, then last year it we took over the whole apartment building. upstairs was chillout including all shpongle requests. downstairs was definitely your rave style party. in the back yard was fire spinning and and other fire flow manipulations. my best friends were there, and the party inspired some serious change. relationships ended and began, even my own was tested shortly after. the energy from the party really made some ripples.
having said that, this year i dont think i will be able to make either of the live shows. im hoping i will catch the live set again soon. ive been thinking shpongleween will have a change in approach. becoming an invite only meditation session. bringing together the friends that connected from previous shpongle interactions. jahful your on the list btw 
i have used some sort of psychedelic on halloween for the last 5 years. this year the intent is to experience shpongleween with out the drugs, without the chaos the parties bring. im still forging the intent, and some is ineffable, for lack of a better word. i really believe in the power of group meditation. i look forward to wut we may find, and wut we may bring back with us.
good vibes to those who go the live sets! maybe we will see you on the other side!
