What Could Possibly Go Wrong At A Festival?

[dr_pretentious]

Okay, festival-going folks, I need to collect potential incidents for the Sebastian novella. What are the weirdest, most high-stakes, most improbable, most hilarious and/or most dangerous things you’ve seen happen at a festival? What interesting disasters have you seen averted, or had a hand in averting? Please don’t use names or identifying details, because I don’t want to be party to accidentally upsetting, embarrassing, or libeling anyone. I just need some ingredients to zizz together in the Cuisinart of my fictioneering brain so I can make some story pesto. If in doubt, please respond privately.

So many of the answers I've received from other events could be annotated with could easily happen at FSG if we had less responsible people running that program. I'm beginning to think our community has been uncommonly lucky, or well-organized, or something. Anyhow, whatever/whoever watches out for us has my gratitude.

Spinning fire poi does seem like an exceptionally beautiful way of asking for trouble.

I'll file away the first-period idea in case of eventual YA novel.
