So I was looking around in the archives of my Live Journal and found a comparison I had made between Coachella 05 and Burning Man 04. I shell now try to duplicate that between the events I attended this summer.
I should also say that I did not pay for a ticket for any of the events, several were free, a ticket was gifted, and some worked for.

Community Festival 6/23/07 Gooddale park in Columbus Oh, NFP, Volunteer run, LNT, Non sponsored, no advertising, community driven, grew from backyard party to block party to 40 acre park event, 5 stages of rock and blues some art over a weekend in a park downtown. 25year grass park with paved trails and big trees
