There was a semi-consensus amongst the group regarding the festival. Too many people and not enough real music fans made for a disappointing crowd. There seemed to be some less-than-stellar sound board operators as well. My favorite part (and perhaps for the rest of the group?) was simply getting back together with everyone and hanging out. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this music festival stuff...
