Elements Music & Arts Festival “26 Word Salad

Friends, Romans, and countrymen, lend me your ears. Welcome back to Pocono Raceway at Long Pond, Pennsylvania as Wranglers Media have found their way back to Elements Music & Arts Festival for the fifth year. Maso the Iceman and Baitbucket Smith reunited and it feels so good. Maso had just left Billy in Bethel and the Phish MSG run, Lucy had come from Electric Forest, by way of FloydFest before spending a week roasting at Cape Point on Cape Hatteras. Welcome to the Elements Music & Arts Festival “26 Word Salad. Your invited into our conscious stream.

The following notes were taken directly from Maso the Wrinkled and the Lost Volumes of Hairy Hands-

Chapter Four, Poems Written by Illiterates
“It had been quite copacetic until the Iceman commeth that Monday and that guy wanted to make a deal with the him. Five biggie bags for 20$. Man only wanted to do three for $20. No deal was struck and the moon bounce king of New Jersey politely informed him to promptly exit the trampoline park forthright.  Let’s roll time, the long March back to Rock City, Uranus, but OK, let’s rewind it back to arriving at the fairgrounds of the Pocono. A gathering of the minds, and it was. It was a party and one of the part goers named Izzy (IZZY) was helping to decorate for said party so after which I was very nice and thoughtful when I hit him with the age old question. “Why is it the humans are genetically closer to mushrooms than mushrooms are to plants?” I think it is because we have mushrooms in our pants. I’m just saying let’s eat a mushroom and dance”.

After getting a GED in credentials it was on over to Long Pond Road, right on gate three, right on turn three what turn four? And now it’s time to finish all the bug spray and sunblock if you got it through security. Yay, early entry. No shake and bake spider monkey and another scanner before I got the green light inside the venue.  Get this, my smart and we after the races. I make my present known so they know I’m there. The humor and style is unmistakaeble. Time to meet up with Magini at the Earth Stage, where it was the most popping I’ve seen. That treehouse yo. Like anybody was anybody with anybody there and yeah then after raging that for a little bit, we head on over to the Water Stage and that thing was looking good. It was the place to be. Oh my goodness gracious, what is Thursday night water station on Thursday? Octopus moment to shine and shine it did. and so you know, maybe being a smart and lazy driver of invention, my bike and I get back out get out of the venue and only bike left at the race at the bike rack, but we go all the way around behind the other side of the track or something. I don’t know where Broccolia was camped and that’s all the renegades stages or were that was a place today.

Fire: The Bible Village that was it vibe and we’re out there and it’s late but it’s still dark and we’re on our way back me and the VIP twisted tea VIP we run into this girl Maddy in a lemur onesie and we went on the side quest with this kid Levi denim pants, the legend of bagger pants he wants he doesn’t know where his car doesn’t know where his RV is. He wants to get the beer from the car to the RV so I can grand promises.

We do fully follow him around the venue until we stop following him and start watching him and is tracking the edge of a swamp and we lose him behind some portal parties until we can see him when hes going up the road to gate seven where we realized they had made him leave his car up there and good luck, brother brother Levi we ever saw him again that weekend we were we knew we were like we had with that kid and we also we’re gonna be like hallelujah. It’s good to see you brother. No, we didn’t but yeah, we didn’t see him ever again so thoughts and prayers for brother Levi jeans the man the myth the legend the only one to really wrangle the wranglers

did you ever wonder why you were still alive.?  So many were already gone. pictures hanging on the wall of the

Earth:

Was her flower prolapsed? Yes, definitely she’d blown out her O-ring. It must have been the homemade tequila that caused the explosion. Could it be because it had been stored in a used kitty litter bin?

all weekend, except for Justina, the owner of trampoline town we were still with her. We had that we met her at th renegade club set. Yeah she was a vibe so hard with her wagon all the goodies we went back with her on Friday night who am I kidding It was it was Saturday morning. It’s always fun a trampoline time until it’s time to go and it was so I took all of Saturday off Saturday was just a scratch. I’m sure big Dirsel and the boys threw it down. Zeds Dead apparently was super mids. I heard this from his sister. She could have played it better herself and she  told me that so it must be true. But she told me this as she’s trying a whopper for the first time so probably not true.
They say getting there is half the fun so is getting ready half the fun too?  In some gettin ready girls words “you feel you’re getting ready two separate animals or kind of the same yeah, listen to music, outfits, exemplifies the best part of being a girl and just the best version of yourself as a woman as a girl to get a woman and a girl to get deeper getting ready like you’re kind of putting on a costume and a outfit and like kind of impersonating your festival self and the girls help you get ready doing that and everybody’s on like a different vibe and like the themes of the outfits are different so you’re helping everybody kinda go into their alter ego. you can go into the ritual little bit and how it’s a celebration of community and support the female community that brings together. The get ready girl community is different than let’s say any any other. it’s a. are different. You’re helping everybody kinda go into their ultra ego


Water: rain, Maso parked the Mother Ship in the middle of a mud hole. But they were five minutes from the entrance.

“Sunday Sunday Sunday the sun the set let’s go it’s on it’s goin down at the fire stage it’s lit tippper did it the pretty lights on the earth then did it then somethin somethin did it again on the earth and just the earth is getting destroyed so I head over to big cheese and the boys but earth owned the night and the weekend as they did in 23.  Catching that last little bit of griz was a highlight  and a treat blessings weresmade to the corporate overlords for sure it’s got electrolytes and and then we come to my my moment if you will to shine that’s right the white knight from behind a phone booth we got we got a girl and a girl got a dog a girl got a dog in a wagon and a tripod and tarps and she’s going like she’s going to mile a minute. She is see the track star she’s a rockstar a little muscle so that’s where I come in.

The wagons loaded up with Daisy, the queen riding dirty in the wagon and yeah, yeah moe down  she hopped in the wagon with daisy wearing her doggy earmuffs and I pulled them both to close enough to her camp but not close enough for me to know where exactly she was camped.  Not her first rodeo.  She dabbed me down for my troubles.  So yeah, there was skydivers skyballin doing their thing getting in for free.  The pyrotechnics were lit as were the art installations Frick frack is a festival within a festival.  Fun factory closed it down every dam time. They be grinding burning through blades…Word salad brought to you by Sunoco and Mountain Dew.
