By BRIAN PEARSON Senior Staff Writer mm NYONE 'WHO WANTS TO t\ participate in a truly psyche- ^^mdelic and soul-uplifting expe- nenc^his weekend can attend this year's Woodshock at Dripping Springs near Austin. Woodshock is the modern psyche delic and punk answer to the infa mous Woodstock concert. About 30 bands, mostly from Aus tin, will be playing at Woodshock starting qt noon on Saturday. Some of the bands playing will probably include: Zeitgeist, Poison 13, Scratch Acid, Pez, the Hickoids, Glass Eye, the Dharma Bums and Doctor's Mob. Maps and pre-sale tickets ($3.50) will probably be available at most Austin record stores, including Wa terloo and Inner Sanctum. If not, just ask any punk walking around and he'll know how to get there and might even need a ride. Give him one. The road from Dripping Springs to the ranch where the festival is held is an interesting one to- travel at night, after the concert is over. It's mostly a bone-cracking dirt road which seems to fork about every 10 yards up to the entrance to the ranch. Since it is in the middle of No where, people can get decadent or whatever they please and not be bothered with the rules and regula tions of our strict society. L ike last year's wood- shock, most people will be in different state of mind when reaving the festival. It's a comical ex perience seeing everyone wan dering around the countryside in their cars looking for the main road back to Austin. There's probably a few still out there going, "Hmm, I wonder where the hell we are?" They will be sure to hear this year's festivities and find their way back to Woodshock. Out there, food, beer, and other refreshments will be available. There is a beautiful, gi gantic, crater-like swimming hole for those with the guts to jump 40 feet off a cliff. Wimps can walk about a quarter of a mile down the trail to get to the bottom. Well, good luck if you go and be sure to have fun. □ mOMei~*H(kuei-mo{uei Movies are listed alphabetically.
