Defining “Weird” –
Adjective: Suggesting something supernatural: Uncanny.
Noun (Scottish Archaic): A Person’s Destiny
Verb (North American): To induce sense of disbelief or alienation of someone.
Somewhere along the travels from its archaic European origins to the present United states the word “weird” has acquired in many ways a negative connotation. A word now destined to categorize the outliers of society, the non-conformers, the strange, and those eerie moments when the hairs on your neck stand up for no apparent reason. Yet, its meaning originally meant “having the power to control one’s destiny.” Doesn’t that sound lovely? Who doesn’t want to be weird?!
Weird in its absolute definition describes the experience you will have at Suwannee Hulaween music festival. Suwannee Hulaween 2016, hosted by The String Cheese Incident, is scheduled to span over Halloween weekend from October 28th to October 30th at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida is begging you to partake in an ethereal destiny changing experience of a lifetime. In fact, I’ll wager that you’ll be completely blown away by the beautiful spectacle that is Suwannee Hulaween and leave that place learning more about yourself in five days than you have in years.
