I question anyone who feels "ripped off" by an outlay of $5.

It was really crowded, and there were lines, but if you got there early, like my friends and I did, then there was a lot of great food. And clearly the turnout shows that there is a huge interest in having a low-cost, fun gathering place.

Even when we were on line the atmosphere was still fun, with lots of conversations and music that wasn't too loud.

This is an incredibly promising enterprise, and all of the problems seem very solvable. The organizers just need to allow for many more thousands of people, and the food vendors need to figure out how to serve quickly and at high volume.

I am really looking forward to the next one - it should be even better.

I had some FOMO, not so much after reading this. when is the next time?

Good idea but not as well executed. Hopefully they will improve next time and make logistics easier to handle the large crowd.

Wow!!

Was that poorly planned!!

Waiting on line for a half an hour and more to get a drink or some food.

Incredible rip off!!
