Chapter 8 - IncaTek

Chapter 8 - IncaTek (this chapter will be as short as IncaTek was shit)

IncaTek was not at all what it was meant to be: we've been promised an ecosystem festival, with workshops and good wibes, and it ended up to be a French rave. 95% of the 300 people (at most!!) were French people, who are at first place really gifted for complaining, and were here relly disappointed to end up in a mess of French techno music... I understand those who said that they could have had the same at home, but still it was quite unpleasant to have constantly people complaining, not happy to be here.

One soundsystem by the organiser (only 2 tiny speakers), until a second soundsystem from Holland arrived on the 21st (unfortunately, or not, they didn't fuse); some poor string art with Macramé (what a loss!), a site not adapted at all for a festival, a camping totally improvised because the rain season didn't allow much... Well, In Lak'Ech does better than that, I swear!

Still we met some really nice people: a French couple, Rémi & Elodie, who, I discovered
later, were my neighbours in France; funny thing is, I discovered this news at the same right moment were Tom met the only other Scottish guy of the festival, Ben, a really sound guy from Too Much Fun Club; Ollie, an English dude of a friend of mine (Mike, from the US, for those who know him), who offered to travel with him North after New Year; Mariano, from Argentina, travelling with Jaime, who own an enterprise in England but dropped everything for a year (We met again in Cusco, he had had a punky mohawk hair style done, and said: "You know what, it's the 1st time ever in my life where... I don't give a fucking shit!!!"); A group of French/Holland people who had a nice campfire, where Tom brought some good musical wibes for the 2 other nights after the 21st,, and many other sound people....

The last day of our stay was the only workshop we've seen, hoola whoop workshop, were we joined with some juggling stuffs; and at night we had some trance music for the first time... But still quite poor.

We stayed until the 24th because we had promise to Connie & Chris to be back at Go Banana's for Xmas Eve, to celebrate in "family". We were not bother to leave the festival, actually there were very few people left.
