Reminds me of the location of the port-a-potties at a concert I went to in the eighties at summerfest (music festival) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Was that the first one, with Humble Pie? Many yutes from Illinois discovered the lower drinking age, much to the consternation of the local constabulary. I asked one inebriated yute what he planed on doing with the large co2 cylinder absconded from the trashed beer stand. "Um gonna nock the valve off it". I intervened, being possessed with a modicum of fogged mechanical aptitude. Later, there was an announcement, in a musical tone,by the Humble Pie lead singer of an attempt by a deranged fan to attack him with a hammer. The term "bouncer" I believe was coined that very day. The festival was excellent!

Sunday, July 8th 1984, last day of Summer Fest Huey Lewis and the News played. I believe that was the first time the gates closed because the Festival was full to capacity. Bathroom facility's was beyond its capacity.

Other than the restroom facility, that was one of the better concerts I went to.

Pink Floyd, Steve Miller, ZZ top and The Eagles topped that in 94.

a mash pit growing through osmosis...the root network appears to be well nourished and with all the lighted candles (bic lighters©®) and flash phone cameras going off, there seems to be enough UV to generate a more than suitable growing environment. I just hope that there was good music tunes playing at the same time, as this has been scientifically proven to promote growth.
