Polish Woodstock Looks Awesome

Google Reader is closing at the end of this month, and I've been going through the articles and links which I've starred (saved) there in order to decide whether or not to retain the link elsewhere for the future.  I rediscovered a New York Times Magazine 6th Floor blog post ("To Be Young, Polish and Covered in Mud") featuring a Look slideshow, "Come On, Feel the Mud", of the Przystanek Woodstock festival.

I rarely post to Facebook, but I posted the link to this slideshow on August 26, 2011, the same afternoon I discovered it.  I absolutely loved the sense of joyful abandon which are portrayed.  Just looking at the photos made me happier and I wanted to share.  It's worth preserving here as well.  My own comments to the Facebook link I posted were "Polish Woodstock looks awesome!" followed by "Maybe the most we can hope for is that Hurricane Irene prods our own descent into muddy revelry..."
