Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival
I felt I had an advantage in writing this story because it was my second year attending the festival so I could contrast certain aspects of the event from last year's. I was searching for different scenarios and people this time because of the assignment so I noticed situations I hadn't when I attended last year. Experiencing the festival this year reminded me of the live tweeting event we were assigned, in the sense that last year I blindly experienced the time that I was at the festival while this time I mentally and physically made note of my surroundings therefore taking away but also enriching the experience. I think that San Francisco is already diverse, though the demographic at the festival was much more eclectic than I expected. In noticing this, I tried to interview attendees from different races and ages and sobriety levels. In the end, I was satisfied with the interview results because I feel like I captured the opinions and thoughts of several perspectives. I also tried to take as many photos as I could so that I could go back later and describe what was happening in that exact moment as a supplement to the notes I was taking. I haven't decided which angle I'm going to write from thought I plan to gather my notes into coherent thoughts and decide from there.
