When I got there, there were no lines and I was able to get food immediately from about 4 trucks. Then I was just hanging out with some friends for 30 minutes or so and all of the sudden it was crazy busy. Lines were long. No, it didn't help that people brought a bunch of children and strollers. No, it didn't help that so many people were allowed to buy tickets BUT this only lasted about an hour and a half and there were in and out privileges so why not leave and come back? We ended up just hanging out and enjoying each other's company...which is a fine thing to do! This is a festival.... not a fast food drive through. I waited in maybe 3-4 very long lines, but they moved fast enough and it helped me portion control. So as the night went on, the place seriously cleared out. I was able to get samples from almost all of the trucks without waiting in too many very long lines. ALSO, it was awesome cuz towards the end of the night, both Short Leash and SuperFarm had late night specials! Fried banana with nutella... yes please! So I think that it could have had better planning or a bigger space, but really, it is the first festival, and it wasn't as bad as everyone is saying, plus, this is AZ, I wasn't so horrified by it being in a dirt field.... a grassy park would have been destroyed in a festival like this and I didn't find that dust got in the food cuz each sample was like one bite...maybe that's just me....it's a learning experience, and I'm sure next years will be even better!
