- “I remember you!!! You worked the shower closest to our campsite… we were going to come back with hot dogs.” — a classic campsite friendship missed by minutes.
- “This is the most wonderful and beautiful idea.” — plenty of appreciation for the nostalgia factor.
- “I’m going to bring a polaroid.” — inspired and immediately actionable festival upgrade.
- Some groups already run their own version as a paper Facebook, and yes, it survives the rain (mostly).
- Bring a small notebook and a few pens. Bold markers work best for signatures that show up in the sun.
- Protect it — a ziplock or a tiny dry bag will save the photos and ink from the elements.
- Bring a Polaroid or instant-print camera if you can. A photo + a note is festival gold.
- Teach newer fest-goers HAGS and leave a little explanation page for future signers.
