Festival organizers' outside-of-festival lives do seem to wait to explode until the festival's up and running.

I have so many weather-related mishap tales... Lots of tents are designed now so they can be put up without being staked, and every year we see the occasional ambitious tent try to fulfill its dreams of becoming a kite.

Everybody was too stoned? Is my regular festival the tamest festival on the circuit, or is it that times have changed, or is it an East Coast/West Coast thing?
