As I’m similar age, this was pre cell phone? Yeah losing yourselves in that sort of crowd for a day without a phone is a different experience nowadays (it’s like how 50% of Seinfeld episodes would resolve in 5 minutes if everyone had a cell phone).
As young college students, did you forgot to the the parent-style meeting point, or you all just didn't want to bother waiting around by $landmark for someone to wander back?
- jeffwass 2y agoActually the crazy part was finding my friends at 3 AM after walking a few miles in the dark from the concert grounds to where we parked the car, with only a rough sense of where I was going. Amazingly we found each other! On the way in, a few miles away from the venue traffic just “stopped” and we had to park on the roadside and walk the rest of the way, cutting through fields and woods, following others who seemed to know where they were going. We left the issue of getting back to the car as a problem for “future us”. Not sure why we didn’t pick a meeting spot, or maybe we got separated too quickly before thinking we needed one. Though actually I think we just weren’t too bothered, figuring it would all just work out. And it did. Yeah, this was all pre-cell-phone (well, “car phones” were a thing, but mainly for the rich). If we had had phones, the adventure would have been much less interesting. We’d have gotten there much quicker w/ sat-nav, we’d have found each other and cut all anxiety wondering where we all were when the last set ended at midnight.
