Comments on: MusicFest less exciting this year http://www.eldoradonews.com/Blog/2008/10/05/musicfest-seemed-less-this-year/ With John Worthen; brought to you by the Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:41:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: The lone reader http://www.eldoradonews.com/Blog/2008/10/05/musicfest-seemed-less-this-year/comment-page-1/#comment-4513 The lone reader Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:44:28 +0000 http://www.eldoradonews.com/Blog/?p=1141#comment-4513 People drink like they do hear because they were never learned how to socially drink. When they were first drinking it was so against the rules that they would drink a lot quickly. If you don't want your kids to grow up and be drunk out at Musicfest 2015 let them have a glass of wine with dinner at least on special occasions and the world is not going to stop if you have a beer with your 16 year old son when you are working on some weekend project together. Remove the mystic that it being a forbidden pleasure creates. People drink like they do hear because they were never learned how to socially drink.

I wonder, though, how come every time there is a beer tent n El Dorado people feel the need to get way too drunk? There's nothing wrong with having a few beers, but a lot of what I saw was embarassing. Another thing that disturbed me was the amount of young teens out in the open smoking cigarettes.

Saturday night the majority of people there seemed to be Tweens and teenagers. I was unimpressed with the things for kids to do on Saturday.

While I don't mind the occasional beer or two, the sheer number of folks that were stumbling around with a complete lack of sense was unnerving. There were even a few local VIP's that appeared to be having a very difficult time standing still, much less walking a straight line.
