(i can't go on sunday)

i am gonna get a pass this year. i have never been to the folk fest before! i'm told i should bring a lawn chair, hehe

yeah... it's not like in that situation you have the rationale/presence to think about these things. a friend of mine in the US had a massive seizure (first time) and when they called an ambulance they were told how much it would cost, so they couldn't afford to get it. she ended up walking to the hospital. and had another massive seizure as soon as she got there. crazy. on the bright side, you are OK

in the states an ambulance ride costs thousands, if that helps ya be less mad. sorry

i didn't say someone has to sleep in a van full of gear...lol security guards...ever heard of them? they watch buildings, parking lots, etc. i'm sure they could watch a van. maybe a hundred or two per day but they can afford it. (little local bands, yeah not so much)

hire a security guard. seems simple enough. these people aren't exactly poor.

shouldn't somebody be watching the stuff if it's worth so much? you wouldn't leave thousands of dollars just sitting around, why would you leave tens of thousands of dollars in priceless gear? doesn't seem too bright to me at all.

guess i'm no lady then

i love jerry d see ya there cuz!

happy bday lady!
