Damn.  This picture &#8217;seriously seems like a Where&#8217;s Waldo&#8217; 2-page spread.  Can&#8217;t believe it is actually &#8216;temporary shelter&#8217; for people attending some &#8216;huge ass&#8217; music festival in England.  Feel &#8216;overwhelmed&#8217; to imagine a &#8216;live music experience&#8217; with s000 many ppl.  Wonder if I really want to &#8216;rally around music&#8217; and &#8216;bask in the human spirit&#8217; in that type of environment.</p>
<p>&#8216;Jesus christ&#8217;.  Seems like an event that would &#8216;raise enough money&#8217; to &#8216;end hunger&#8217; or something/make a &#8216;GDP comparison to a shitty country.&#8217;<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/g06_19474757-1.jpg"></p>
<p>Think the world will look like this &#8216;when the world ends&#8217; and a portal to the center of the Earth opens up.<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/g02_19500531-1.jpg"></p>
<p>I wonder if they built an &#8216;Outdoor World&#8217;/'Bass Pro Shop&#8217;/'Cabela&#8217;s&#8217;/miscellaneous outdoor store nearby just to handle people who &#8216;needed outdoor gear&#8217; for this sweet festival.<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/g15_19481263-1.jpg"></p>
<p>Can&#8217;t believe Glastonbury lets you &#8216;volunteer&#8217; to get into the music festival for free.  Think that u have to sort through trash/recyclable materials.  Seems &#8216;green&#8217;, possibly like a marketing campaign.<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/g33_19511699-1.jpg"><br />
I wonder if a company could offer their workforce non-monetary &#8216;compensation&#8217; for an entire fiscal year.  Like a company that &#8216;pays workers&#8217; with &#8216;kewl bands performing&#8217;/meaningful experiences, instead of &#8216;having a payroll.&#8217;  Feel like there is a &#8216;genre of people&#8217; who would do that, as long as you gave them a tent and a community shower, or something.  </p>
<p>I feel inspired by seeing so many ppl &#8216;uniting around music&#8217;, willing to &#8216;chill in a tent for days&#8217;/&#8217;set up some sort of monetized shanty town.&#8217;  Feel like possibly building some sort of music festival that incorporates &#8216;actual slums.&#8217;<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/slum_in_quito.jpg"></p>
<p>Most festivals are held in a &#8216;meaningful public space&#8217; where you can also see &#8216;the city&#8217;s skyline in the background.&#8217;  This helps u feel &#8216;connected to the music&#8217; while also &#8216;being reminded of the power of man/engineering/archyteckchy.&#8217;<br />

<p>Sorta just want to &#8216;feel&#8217; the city behind me.<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/20090701-na9tm9647aa4pr1tr6hwis17np.jpg"></p>
<p>Being in a crowd + seeing &#8216;corporate America&#8217; makes me feel like I am a part of humanity.<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/20090701-f8813s4jj5j5m1b3xi5nccd931.jpg"></p>
<p>This is a picture of &#8217;slums&#8217; in Brazil.  What if we had some sort of &#8217;super authentic&#8217; music festival in &#8217;slums&#8217;, and &#8216;rented&#8217; the homes from the people who &#8216;actually lived there.&#8217;  Feel like &#8216;every1 would win&#8217; since rich people would get &#8216;an organic experience&#8217; and &#8216;the poors&#8217; would get $$$$.<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/102223-004-036D10D4.jpg"><br />
Really just searching for the most authentic music experience possible, and I think that the modern music festival is &#8216;isolating a demographic of authentic thrillseekers.&#8217;  Sorta just mainstream + corporate now.</p>
<p>What ideas do yall have for the modern music festival?<br />
Do u believe in the concept of the microfestival&#8211;charging 10 to 100 fans ~$10K per ticket to see their fave bands in an intimate, exclusive setting?<br />
Should we &#8216;buy out&#8217; a bunch of slum dwellers and turn the area into a music festival space?<br />
Worried that I am &#8216;losing touch with humanity&#8217; even though I am &#8216;actively seeking&#8217; the opportunity to &#8216;connect&#8217; with &#8216;all humans.&#8217;</p>
