This reminds me of a past life experience.

A long time ago I went to the outdoor festival. 10,000 or so were scheduled to
attend....
over 500,000 showed up.... we had a good time, but it was pretty messy and a
little
scary with lack of basic provisions and facilities. A lot of people showed up
unprepared.

Perhaps this is less of an issue with the Birds as they are pretty
self-contained. Thanks
for the heads up!.... Looking forward to seeing you all.

800 Wow... Where did that number come from?
