day two....and i showered

it is a good thing i have allergies and can not smell. the port-a-johns have a sign on them stating that they are not to be used by more than 10 people for one work week. 10 people for 5 days is 50 for one day. my belief is that there are more than 50 people using them in each day. and there are three 20 yards from our booth.
we did not camp last night but plan to this evening after reverand horton heat since the show will be over late. tommorow evening is les claypool and the flaming lips which are the acts everyone is here to see. so far the internet sales are slow and every hippie in the place thinks we should give them free access.
the johnnie on the spot people are here to empty the johns....i could have lived my entire life without witnessing the removal of human waste into a large tank. where do they take it after here? is there a dump somewhere or a fertilizer plant that transfers it all into eco-friendly stuff?
there are hundreds of volunteers wandering around directing the hippie walk-way and keeping cars out of the way. they are also passing out recycle and trash bags every time we enter the park.
my job today is to convince all that they want to pay 50cents a minute to use our computers or pay 20 dollars for wireless access for their laptops. i have a feeling i will be blogging quite a bit today.
