[Neil]

Why did I laugh at the idea of these kids paying $4000-12000 for this :)

Read about this yesterday. I don't revel in the misery of people I've never met and people who do so are assholes themselves. Of course there is some irony involved but I've been stuck in shitty situations before that have been no fault of my own and it's not really fun.

That being said I'd die to see a documentary made about this. How can a festival get away with being so ineptly planned? Do they not realize that catering to the needs of thousands of people takes some real logistics? Where do they shit? Eat? sleep?

Sounds like an utter balls up and it would have been a properly rubbish experience to endure ... that said, "It ended up being the closest thing to war I've ever seen." ... erm, what? :rockbrow:
