It was a good thing that we had a house warming party and a birthday party to attend because spending the day at GoogaMooga would have been an absolute waste of a day.

David Rockwell, Collaborative Designer & Festival Designer, told us not to worry about lines: “Festivals are what we do…The people running some of the other festivals that have line troubles dont have as much experience as we do.”¹

The lines were indeed the problem. Not only did we wait for an hour and a half for a Lobster roll that we could have bought at East Seventh Street in Manhattan, we also found every other line so prohibitively long that we basically left after only two and a half hours. I had budgeted $80 for all the food and drink that was available at the festival. However the lines were so long that we gave up and stopped spending after eating “only” a bland chicken sandwich and a lobster roll. Total damage $25.

What do Nashvillians know that we don’t?
