In the process of

documenting Electric Apricot,

our young filmmaker has caught

a glimpse of Enlightenment.

Oh, I got it.

I got it. We're cool.

Yeah, this is cool

right here.

So, what happened

to those brownies?

Gordo ate them.

Dude, he ate

all those brownies?

The true revelation

of Enlightenment

is the discovery that life

is a never-ending journey

to a destination that

is never actually reached.

Are you sure, man?

He's going to be

totally gone.

Yeah, he is gone.

He's passed out.

Unexpectedly,

while reaching

for Enlightenment,

the duality of existence

is unveiled.

He's going to have a very

special ride when he wakes up.

How you doing tonight, sir?

I'm doing all right, Officer.

Doing all right.

Where are you coming from?

We just came

from the Festeroo,

a festival down the road.

Sir, I am going

to have to ask you

to put that video camera

down, please.

Driver's license

and registration, please.

You know,

they're making a-

they're making a documen-

We just played the Festeroo

down the street.

Sir, please turn

that video camera off.

They're making

a documentary.

They're making

a documentary.

That's what

the cameras are for.

They're doing a

documentary on the band.

Driver's license and

registration, please.

We're a band from California.

What's going on?

We play on...

You mind if I come in there

and check it out?

Um...

Check out inside.

Turn that video camera off now.

What?

Man, I'm getting

out of here!

Get me outta here!

Gordo, stop, dude.

I said... God damn!

Get your hands off me.

Hey! Get over here!

It's cool man!

It's cool, man.

It's cool.

Hands behind your back.

It's cool. It's cool, man.

I can't...

I can't breathe.

Shut up and stay there.

I can't breathe!

l... Jerry! Jerry!

Jerry!

Gordo recently

started a website

dedicated to the notion

that Jerry Garcia

is still alive.

I don't put much stock

in this sort of thing,

but I did find something

pretty interesting.

I thought I just... one of

these pans I had backstage.

I'll scroll back here.

If you do

a frame-by-frame...

Look at that.

I'll do a zoom-in.

I mean, I don't know.

You tell me.

Hey, are you going

to Burning Man?

Bury your toes

in the desert sand

Ain't no man for

to tell you how to be

Come on down with me

to Burning Man

I got a recipe

for cosmic flan

Strip off your clothes

and set your aura free

There's a place I know

called Black Rock City

Where we're

about to get down

To the nitty gritty

We're all children

of the stars above

Searching for answers

and feasting on love

Hey, are you going

to Burning Man?

I got a big old slab

of veggie ham

Come to Camp Tesori

and to bring some soy

Cheese

Free-thinking people

at Burning Man

Amazing Larry's

got the masterplan

It's all about just

letting myself be me

Me

There's a gal I know

called Moonstone Annie

She blows flames

right out of her fanny

Ya ought to see her

walking on the tight wire

Jugglin' bananas

while her hair is on fire

Come on down with me

to Burnin' Man...

It's a fabulous place.

It's a fabulous land.

ooh

yeah.

Art love, lovin' Art's love

for Art, Art for love...
