The various price points enabled the organizers to reach every income level while maintaining the ability to generate enough revenue to stage and turn a profit for the event. The card included various artist ranging a wide musical demographic; the opening acts come on stage at 3 pm, and the main show started at 4 pm. The event was scheduled to end around 11pm, but the schedule was reduced because the rain cause some of the sets to be cut short.

Finally though, the second quarter began to wind down and the performers were called to line up. The girls trailed down the stands and through the stadium to the gate from where they would walk out. Three hundred girls filled the opening and waited, and this was the instance where Cassi was not very good at waiting. She felt her nerves rise as the clock counted down, and two minutes before halftime, the performers began to move.

The venue was filled with loud drunk people, approximately 95% were White, dressed in cowboy/cowgirl boots, french braids, bandanas, flannels, and blue jeans. The majority of the people in the venue were adults. With ice-cold beers in their hands, people were searching for their seats and trying to squeeze their way through the crowd of people. At first, I was confused to see why there were so many people dressed in LA Dodgers gear, but I then realized that the baseball game had been going on that same day, so the baseball fans had to support their team all the way from the concert. As it got darker, the bright and shining lights changed to all sorts of colors.

Well not really, the farm had holes in the fence and was in no shape for a 100,000 capacity. The stage was barley getting finished before people started slipping in through the fences. So many people did this that it was to much of a hassle to make them leave, 50,000 to be specific. This left the organizers with some problems, make the concert free or try and force 50,000 people to cough up cash. They went for the former.

There was an occurrence called the Surge; during which, people in the back of the mob on the floor would push the people in front of them to get closer to the stage, even if they were already a good twenty feet away and definitely not getting any closer by pushing. The Surge became a domino effect, by each person pushing on the person in front of them and everyone closing the gaps between each other; they became sardines in a can. The closer you were to the front, the easier it was for you to lift your feet of the ground and just be carried by the force of people around you. The concert hadn’t even started, the stars of the show hadn’t even made it on stage yet, and you would wish it was over. Water would be thrown into the crowd, only adding to the pool of sweat collecting among the new friends you would have to make.

They also offered food in the workshop, and people could interact in a non-formal environment and feel more comfortable.

Finally, smoke from the fog machines started growing thicker and Bass Drum of Death picked up their instruments and performed their songs.
