camel fest

The camel festival was fucking fantastic…it was like 50k from bikaner in the middle of the dusty thar desert. There were tons of camels and thousands of locals…id say only one percent were tourists. It was pretty hot and dry…as you might imagine but the scenery was truly surreal. The best part was the camels…there all like burping and foaming at the mouths like ten feet tall but then they dress them up all retro futuristic glam goddess disco balls with neon bead work, fake flowers, banners, and swords. It like taking the most alien mammal on the planet and then being like all my pet pony about it on acid. The camel racing was a real hoot…running camels is like the goofiest thing ever…the camels just start going it full out, not always in the right direction, and some would vear off into the crowds at top speed and spectators would be running for there lives and diving out of the way…it was fucking hilarious. There was also sand wrestling, gypsy dance circles, and a bunch of air shows. Some parachuters even dropped in and its was insane when thousands of kids starting running after them across the dunes and they were like waving them out the way with there feet and shit just before landing getting totally mobbed. There were all these stage performance with traditional dancing and singing that made for some pretty awesome sound bites. Anyways, the pictures are pretty crazy too and ill get them up soon…at least on myspace.com/iamcode after I get back from camel safari. Camels are my new favorite animal…gotta get one…if only they came in mini. code
