In terms of festivals, I guess South by Southwest has the worst backstage, because you’re still dealing with a normal club backstage.
 How many times have you played it? Too many to count?
 But you were there in a different capacity.
 So we’ve talked about what you like, but what generally irritates you about playing a festival? I’ve heard it’s good to get both sides.
 Whoa.
 It’s a lot harder for the fan to connect with a band at a festival because of obvious reasons, and that works the other way, too, I’m guessing.
