Googa Mooga Math #googamooga

Via FOC The Lime Spider, some calculations W/R/T Googa Mooga: 

The organizers say 40,000 per day. Let's agree, generously, that peak will be 30,000. 

I think 35% will be at the concerts, and not on line for food at any given time, but to be polite, let's say 50% to make them feel like people came for the music. Also because it makes the math easier: 15,000 on line for food. 

75 vendors. 2 lines per vendor. 150 lines. 100 people per line. 

Cash transactions. Optimistically, 60 transactions per hour. That means each line will run about an hour and a half, for tasting portions or slightly larger. Even if there are twice as many lines, or half as many people, you're still looking at 45 minute waits.

Street thinkers call it Tight Math. For the sake of the people who are going, I hope these calculations (by someone w/ food festival experience) are off base. The Cod is Pro Prospect Park -- despite the restrictions on fishing. The Cod is a fan of many of the food vendors. Based on past experiences, not sure that putting all of these purveyors in the same place will lead to a better time than having them scattered around NYC. 

Also, as I clicked around, surprised to see that Eater is one of the partners, along w/ Lexus, Magic Hat and Whole Foods. If your website covers food, can you report on a festival you sponsor?

I went to the free portion of the festival. Yes, the lines were crazed and it could've been much better organized, but it was FREE. There were plenty of good vibes to be had, especially if you witnessed Ali "The Bachelorette" Fedotowsky deep throat a Longga Dog from the Maharlika stand like I did.

Sounds like the Extra Mooga people got jacked, though. $250 per person per day is an insanely high price to pay to watch Marc Maron do a live WTF and see April Bloomfield talk about pork or whatevs.

Howdy ausgezeichnete Blog! Ist Laufen ein Blog wie dieses erfordern ein hohes Maß an Arbeit? Ich habe praktisch keine Kenntnisse der Computer-Programmierung aber ich hatte gehofft, meinen eigenen Blog in naher Zukunft beginnen. Auf jeden Fall sollten Sie irgendwelche Ideen oder Techniken für neue Blog-Besitzer bitte teilen. Ich weiß, das ist vom Thema doch ich musste einfach fragen. Vielen Dank!

Was du gesagt hast gemacht sehr viel Sinn. Aber, darüber nachzudenken, was wäre, wenn Sie ein wenig Inhalt hinzugefügt? Ich meine, ich möchte nicht sagen, wie in einen Blog laufen, aber was, wenn Sie etwas hinzugefügt, um vielleicht bekommen Völker Aufmerksamkeit? Genau wie ein Video oder ein Bild oder zwei zu bekommen.

Melin noted that a full-scale lockdown would be "something more imminent" such as "an intruder in the vicinity." In that case, Melin said, cheap jerseys for sale "students would be locked in their rooms and bigger security measures" would be in place.
"We will stay on a modified lockdowncheap jerseys free shipping

Sherman has long taken, and been given, more credit than is his due. The best defensive commander of the War was Confederate general Joseph Johnston who burned what was of value before Sherman's advance. It was Johnston who invented the road mine, who lived of the land, burnt bridges, and eventually set the match to Atlanta. His retreat tactics are still taught in military academies around the world. Without Johnston Sherman is nothing.
