Thats very true also, people in big cities are cubbied up in thier little hole, scared to meet strangers, trying to survive on a daily basis.
But, if a fest was held in the city or thereabouts I would attend if work didn't interfere. I was very close to attending the Philly fest in Jan, but I had to go to work. I go to Philly regularly for clothes shopping and the Philly cheesteaks at Jims steaks on Cottman Av.
