So reports from Day 1 of The Great GoogaMooga in Prospect Park have been mixed at best—a massive food/music festival like this was always going to have its share of stumbles, but people have been complaining on Twitter about epic beers lines, a broken scanner system, and even a lack of toilet paper. And AO Scott is furious! We've put together six tips for those going to the fest on Sunday so you can hopefully have a better experience:
- Bring your own toilet paper.
- Load a book on your Kindle/iPhone so you'll have something to read while you wait on various food and alcohol lines.
- Actually, just get drunk beforehand. And maybe eat beforehand too (especially if you're a vegan).
- Be patient! After all, it can be "the most fun you'll have waiting in lines all year!"
- And if you're not patient, then try going somewhere else. The Red Hook Lobster Pound was eerily empty at 12:30 today (we assume everyone was at GoogaMooga).
- But if you DO go, make sure to tweet all your complaints so we can enjoy them from outside the coveted event!
