Nice writing :) - I've never had a tough one - it was always magical :) - but when I did it on festivals, I always went away in the near woods / beach ..whatever - but staying in the crowd is unimaginable for me. The funniest thing I saw once on a festival - I was sober ;) - a guy talking to a bush for about 30 minutes and then he jumped into the bush like you would jump into water with the head first. That really made my day :))
