A New Bohemian Society?

I know I am late to the party and many people have discussed how amazing Williamsburg has become in the last ten years but I really got a first hand view of how amazing it actually is.  A friend of mine invited to a Gogol Bordello concert at the Williamsburg Waterfront (they put on a great show).  Its a massive park that overlooks the East River and has a magnificent view of the Manhattan Skyline.  It is surrounded by a couple of modern looking condo buildings.  The atmosphere and people are phenomenal.  The whole area is bursting with this very existential and communal energy.  It was one of the first times in a long time that I tried something completely foreign to me and not within my zone of comfort.  But I went in with an open mind and looking to have fun.  And I can honestly that I had one of the best times that I have had in a while.  I felt truly young again, being around all of these people who didn't have the typical pretenses and concerns for appearances that the people I normally surround myself do.  Nobody cared about what the other person was wearing or the atmosphere.  All it was was a bunch of people with all different types of backgrounds enjoying good music, some beer and some food.  It is one of the most organic social experiences I have ever had.  Everyone is friendly and its not a meat market where people are there for a purpose, whether it be to try and meet someone or to make appearances.  No, this was just about being out and having fun.
