Had a moment in the flow here about 12 hours before I took this.... I want to thank all the amazing creative caring and kind folks at Bloom that made this old Mad Dog & The Astral Project feel so welcomed and loved. Also thank you to StarWater for hosting us and taking us into the family. You have a beautiful thing here and it gives me so much hope to see it bloom. So easy to loose sight of how it should be in these troubled times. What you do here is important and powerful. #sonicbloom #sonicbloomfestival #sonicbloom2019 #theastralproject (at Hummingbird Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzHyK3NFtHV/?igshid=1fpx7fmaynyg7
