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.

You have given me a lovely car-chase-like scene that's fleshing itself out in my head. I may need to test drive a segway to get that scene right.

What did the hipsters hope to accomplish? Ogling naked people? Why do the cowans even want to try? Naked people at festival look like actual, non-Photoshopped humans who don't work in Hollywood.

It must be terribly disappointing for them to sneak into a festival and see that a third of the population is in their normal street clothes, a third is wearing stuff that's eccentric but affords widespread protection from sunburn, and most of the remaining 33% that's naked is old enough to be the intruders' parents.

Honestly, I have no idea what they thought they were doing. The only thing I can think (and I don't know this for sure) is that they came for a concert the night before and didn't want to leave -- and didn't want to pay to be there. I'll try to remember to ask Teem if he has a better recollection of the whole episode.
