I love the experimental art and music they curate every year. But as it grows larger, it feels like it is losing that intimate, community-driven spirit that made it special.

Same old venue, same old crowd. It’s lost its original indie charm.

Too much traffic and crowds in Reichenfeld park now. It was better when it was quiet.
