How did you get served so fast.  I was on ferry #2 and gave up after an
hour waiting for food.  Beer was achieved by "slipping in" with the help
of a friend.

I agree that anything would ahve been much better.  The local rug would
have had a better feel for what to expect.
 
I have heard the rational that 300 extra people showed up.  Maybe because
no one checked for any id from attendees 300 locals joined in.  At the
Monday night party, people were coming and going to the vendor floor thru
