I went to a festival for various bands over 3 days
It was great, but there the environment and SPAM demands approaches in large numbers.
people are looking to hook up with party scenes.
in reality you need to be a mobile party
being solo is not easy as no one goes alone and
HB are not intimidated by large groups in these hyper social situations
so convincing tongs of people to join is not a bad idea

if your solo you gotta keep saying how you lost all your friends cause the same question comes up 'did you come alone?' yeah you can stand cowboy lone ranger but then you look needy for their company. it is not a bar or a museum
