      Great! There’s SO many small things to discover around the edges like that, that aren’t on the lists, etc. I’m trying to get out of the booth and wander more often so I can include them in our coverage, but mentions like yours really help too. Sending P over for a pic as we get our coverage going for the day.

    I hope today brings less complaining about “how” the festival used to be, look at the skyline of WS as a example and except nothing lasts for forever.
