tired Ozomatli were outrageously good. I will be on a high for a few days just thinking about how good they were.
When they had finished playing a extremely high energy fusion of salsa, cumbia, hip hop, dance music (plus a touch of expeirmental jazz/indian/morroccan beats) for a good couple of hours, they climbed off the stage and did their usual thing of a massive drumming jam with the audience. It reminded me of some of that crazy beltane partying (but less body paint, more clothing) and I had a sudden realisation; seeing Ozomatil take their name after an aztec god of music, dance and celebration, I think the whole thing was a big ritual in which Ozomatli and us were invoking their god...
They transformed a crown of inhibited british trendy types (being too cool to raise their hands type thing) into an ecstatic frenzy of leaping bodies. they even got everyone to introduce themsleves to someone they didnt know next to them in the crowd (to spread the ozomatli love...)
Oh those latinos know how to have fun they really do.

..sorry to approach you like this, but I simply knew no other way and I have been told people are walking around saying my approach to you last saturday freaked you out.
This has really confused me as I got the impression that you were quite happy in the end that I had (if somewhat freaked out at the start of it, as you didn't know what I had walked up for).
I think the moment was a bit intense for both of us, but I hope my message was clear and that we parted on good terms (?).
If my behaviour did seem quite abrupt it's because I have had people wear me down with conjured up issues and politics for a very long time; this year has been a very extreme for me. For a long time I thought best tactic was to ignore it, but when I came back to the scene I realised my silence had only made people worse, so since then I have gradually made it my policy to deal with situations as soon as I can and make my stance clear in a very public way (since my stances seems to continously get warped verbally by others).
Now, I got a very good impression of you, so I do believe if you misinterpreted me it was accidental. Please feel free to contact me if you are still in doubt of what happened. The last thing I want is to have a situation/politics between us.
You can reach me at jinxme@spray.se (if I don't respond a.s.a.p it's because I can only read mails at work, so please give me time to come back to you).
I do want to reiterate to the very last: I have no problems with you, and in fact, in our intense moment, felt you were a really sweet person. It's only a shame circumstance makes it awkward for us to be friends. : /
Please let me know you are ok.
