Tent City

Dear Cousin Gobo,
I've recently escaped the crazy fast paced life within the large colonies established throughout Outerspace. As you could imagine Outerspace is massive, and I have barely mapped a fraction of it. In search of new undiscovered areas, I ventured into the wild. The untamed lands of Outerspace are breathtaking, and the magnitude of the land makes one feel smaller than the littlest Doozer. There are also many new types of species that await cataloging; I am very excited.
Thinking that I was the only advernturer for miles around, to my surprise, I came across a very large colony unlike the others I have already seen. These people lived in tents and moble-caves instead of the above ground stone caverns that are very popular here. At first I thought these people were to be fellow adverturers like myself, but it seems that this was some type of festival gathering. The celebrators being very friendly invited me to stay with them for a few days. Naturally, I agreed.
This festival was continuously going. All laughed their cares, and danced the nights away; letting the music play. This festival was very fun. The days were hot, and the nights mild so drinking plenty of fluids was highly encouraged. At night many twinkling lights above our heads would appear. They were very beautiful and I couldn't help but to wonder that I could someday also reach these lights.
It turns out that those tents were not meant as their homes but rather as places to catch a quick nap to recharged energy for the festival. As if anyone could sleep, the sounds of the cheers never ended.
After a few days and plenty of new friends, I parted my ways with the tent city. After all, I still have alot of adventures to find. One suggestion to you cousin. If you ever come across any celebration such as this one, I recommend that you find yourself a watering pool and jump into it. For thousands of people laughing, playing, and sweating together has a very strong unpleasant odor.
Until next time, keep searching.

Lost Time

Dear Cousin Gobo,

Sorry I haven't wrote in awhile. I've seemed to have lost a little time in the last couple days. I've bumped into a group of cheery fellows, I say cheery because they were always laughing and in high spirits. I never quite got what was so funny though.......anyways, They invited me what they called a "KEY-GRRR". I had no idea what that was, so I was intrigued. They brought me to a dwelling that emitted bright colored lights and large amount of noise, I believe it is called "MusiK". Inside the dwelling, hundreds of people were moving to and fro with strange cups of blue and red in hand. I was given one of these strange cups and was told to "Pound It, Man". It was a bitter tasting drink and very frofty, but after a few cups it tasted better and better with every sip. I too became very cheery, and all the loud noises and bright lights soon just blended away.
I awoke to water spraying all over my body in middle of a green field. I have no idea why or how I got there. I had a strange feeling of pain all over my body especially in my head.
Although the end result was quite tormenting, I have a wierd feeling that that will not be my last Key-Grr.
