Damn. This picture ’seriously seems like a Where’s Waldo’ 2-page spread. Can’t believe it is actually ‘temporary shelter’ for people attending some ‘huge ass’ music festival in England. Feel ‘overwhelmed’ to imagine a ‘live music experience’ with s000 many ppl. Wonder if I really want to ‘rally around music’ and ‘bask in the human spirit’ in that type of environment.

‘Jesus christ’. Seems like an event that would ‘raise enough money’ to ‘end hunger’ or something/make a ‘GDP comparison to a shitty country.’

Think the world will look like this ‘when the world ends’ and a portal to the center of the Earth opens up.

I wonder if they built an ‘Outdoor World’/'Bass Pro Shop’/'Cabela’s’/miscellaneous outdoor store nearby just to handle people who ‘needed outdoor gear’ for this sweet festival.

Can’t believe Glastonbury lets you ‘volunteer’ to get into the music festival for free. Think that u have to sort through trash/recyclable materials. Seems ‘green’, possibly like a marketing campaign.

I wonder if a company could offer their workforce non-monetary ‘compensation’ for an entire fiscal year. Like a company that ‘pays workers’ with ‘kewl bands performing’/meaningful experiences, instead of ‘having a payroll.’ Feel like there is a ‘genre of people’ who would do that, as long as you gave them a tent and a community shower, or something.

I feel inspired by seeing so many ppl ‘uniting around music’, willing to ‘chill in a tent for days’/’set up some sort of monetized shanty town.’ Feel like possibly building some sort of music festival that incorporates ‘actual slums.’

Most festivals are held in a ‘meaningful public space’ where you can also see ‘the city’s skyline in the background.’ This helps u feel ‘connected to the music’ while also ‘being reminded of the power of man/engineering/archyteckchy.’

Sorta just want to ‘feel’ the city behind me.

Being in a crowd + seeing ‘corporate America’ makes me feel like I am a part of humanity.

This is a picture of ’slums’ in Brazil. What if we had some sort of ’super authentic’ music festival in ’slums’, and ‘rented’ the homes from the people who ‘actually lived there.’ Feel like ‘every1 would win’ since rich people would get ‘an organic experience’ and ‘the poors’ would get $$$$.

Really just searching for the most authentic music experience possible, and I think that the modern music festival is ‘isolating a demographic of authentic thrillseekers.’ Sorta just mainstream + corporate now.

What ideas do yall have for the modern music festival?
Do u believe in the concept of the microfestival–charging 10 to 100 fans ~$10K per ticket to see their fave bands in an intimate, exclusive setting?
Should we ‘buy out’ a bunch of slum dwellers and turn the area into a music festival space?
Worried that I am ‘losing touch with humanity’ even though I am ‘actively seeking’ the opportunity to ‘connect’ with ‘all humans.’

N E WAYS…. My mum is one of those krazie festival people who wears zany clothes/wig/tiedye boots/leggings/a kreepie smile, and even has a lucky pair of mud boots. She dressed me up in a custom-made trash bag and bought me some boots at Wal Mart so that I could play in the mud with all of the other ‘kids at heart’ who attend music festivals.

I would be scared of attending festivals in Europe. They don’t have enough classic festival bros. Maybe non-Americans didn’t ever really connect with jam bands and deep rock bands like Incubus. They all look like they are in uninteresting British rock bands that MTV tries to tell me are ‘the next big thing.’ :-(

Do Europeans like David Matthews, or do they only listen to Ricky Martin/Aqua/Shakira/Wyclef/other artists that perform at the beginning of large-scale global sporting events?
