Nitpick: might give people a slightly better sense of what it’s like, but mostly it’s a meta-discussion that’s gone way off the rails and has little to do with what actually happened on Saturday, and is more about What Is Or Should Be The Ultimate Idea Of Solstice, Really.
This actually suits me fine—I’m thinking mostly of people who’ve never been to Solstice and aren’t sure why they might want to. Talking about Platonic Ideal Solstice gives them a sense of what we’re striving for, and the surrounding discussion gives a sense of where things are currently at.
