00:00:40,581 --> 00:00:41,Okay, go ahead.

00:00:41,707 --> 00:00:43,My name is Sidney Westerfeld.

00:00:43,501 --> 00:00:47,I'm the owner of this antique tavern
in Mongaup Valley, New York State.

00:00:48,965 --> 00:00:51,I was here when this crowd really came.

00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,We expected 50,000 a day,
and there must have been a million.

00:00:56,889 --> 00:00:59,I, myself, was hungry for two days
because l couldn't get any food in.

00:01:00,017 --> 00:01:01,I couldn't go out to buy any food.

00:01:02,853 --> 00:01:04,I was eating Corn Flakes for two days.

00:01:06,232 --> 00:01:09,And the kids were wonderful.
I have no kick.

00:01:09,193 --> 00:01:13,It was "sir" this and "sir" that
and "thank you" this and "thank you" that.

00:01:15,116 --> 00:01:19,Nobody can complain about the kids.
This thing was too big.

00:01:20,788 --> 00:01:25,It was too big for the world.
Nobody has ever seen a thing like this,

00:01:25,293 --> 00:01:28,and when they see this picture
in the news...

00:01:28,462 --> 00:01:32,Well, over the moving pictures,
they'll really see something.

00:05:52,935 --> 00:05:56,Mike, what's the worst part
of running one of these things?

00:05:57,606 --> 00:06:01,- The worst part?
- What's the worst part about running one?

00:06:01,527 --> 00:06:03,I don't know. I don't know.

00:06:03,696 --> 00:06:05,- Do you dig it all?
- Yeah.

00:06:08,826 --> 00:06:12,I guess the biggest hassle
is dealing with politics, you know?

00:06:12,621 --> 00:06:13,Is there a lot of politics involved?

00:06:13,789 --> 00:06:15,- You mean with the cities?
- Yeah.

00:06:15,624 --> 00:06:17,And you g***t that solved?

00:06:17,293 --> 00:06:19,- Well, it looks that way.
- Looks that way.

00:06:19,295 --> 00:06:20,How long did it take you
to put it together?

00:06:20,838 --> 00:06:22,Two, three months?

00:06:22,631 --> 00:06:24,I been working on it
for about nine months.

00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:25,Nine months? Full time?

00:06:25,968 --> 00:06:27,Yeah.

00:06:29,013 --> 00:06:32,- Are you in charge of the whole thing?
- Yeah.

00:06:32,808 --> 00:06:36,- But you g***t backers?
- Partners and backers.

00:06:36,228 --> 00:06:37,Yeah. Where are you gonna go from here?

00:06:38,814 --> 00:06:39,I mean, you gonna do another one?

00:06:39,982 --> 00:06:41,If it works.

00:06:44,653 --> 00:06:46,Thank you!

00:06:47,364 --> 00:06:48,You're really good tonight.

00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:50,You know,

00:06:51,577 --> 00:06:55,this is the most outrageous spectacle
I've ever witnessed, ever.

00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:58,There's only one thing I wish.
I sure gotta pee,

00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,and there just ain't nowhere to go.

00:07:05,507 --> 00:07:09,I believe we're gonna go up the country
a little bit right now.

00:13:27,306 --> 00:13:30,- What do you think?
- Well, what could I think?

00:13:30,142 --> 00:13:34,We're in the middle of the situation,
and we make the best of it.

00:13:34,229 --> 00:13:37,- Yeah?
- It's about all we can do. Yeah.

00:13:37,816 --> 00:13:39,- What do you think about it?
- Well,

00:13:39,234 --> 00:13:43,we were standing on the curbs
watching them come in last night,

00:13:43,780 --> 00:13:45,all the townspeople.

00:13:45,407 --> 00:13:48,It was just like an army invading a town.

00:13:48,410 --> 00:13:49,- Really?
- It's hard to believe.

00:13:50,078 --> 00:13:52,- Do you live here?
- No, we're here for vacation.

00:13:52,497 --> 00:13:54,Are you?
Are you having one?

00:13:55,292 --> 00:13:58,We did, up until last night.
They kept us up for a while.

00:13:58,253 --> 00:13:59,Who's "they"?

00:13:59,755 --> 00:14:01,- Freaks.
- Would I want to call them... No.

00:14:01,757 --> 00:14:04,- Is that what you call yourselves?
- Not freaks, I don't think...

00:14:04,301 --> 00:14:05,Is that what you call yourself, really?

00:14:05,802 --> 00:14:07,- Sure.
- Why?

00:14:07,179 --> 00:14:08,Well, 'cause that's
what everybody else calls us.

00:14:08,930 --> 00:14:10,Well, why do you call yourself that for?

00:14:10,599 --> 00:14:14,Because we admit it.
Compared to everybody else, we're freaks.

00:14:14,644 --> 00:14:15,I don't think you are.

00:14:15,937 --> 00:14:18,As long as you behave yourself,
there's nothing wrong.

00:14:18,273 --> 00:14:19,They seem
to be having a good time.

00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:23,I'm not putting bad connotations
on the word "freak," you know. I'm just...

00:14:23,362 --> 00:14:26,Well, does the word "freak" itself
have a bad connotation?

00:14:26,823 --> 00:14:28,Well, it's whatever you think about it.

00:14:28,950 --> 00:14:30,The last time
we seen anything like this

00:14:30,952 --> 00:14:33,was at the Rose Bowl Parade
last New Year's.

00:14:33,288 --> 00:14:35,That's right. Pasadena.

00:14:37,167 --> 00:14:41,Like four ice cubes
out of the bag, you know?

00:14:41,838 --> 00:14:42,They wanted
to buy four ice cubes?

00:14:43,048 --> 00:14:44,Yeah, right.

00:14:44,633 --> 00:14:46,How much were they?

00:14:46,635 --> 00:14:49,I don't know. What can you charge them
for four ice cubes, you know?

00:14:50,013 --> 00:14:54,It's a great shot to Sullivan County,
business wise. it's something we needed.

00:14:55,977 --> 00:15:01,As far as whether it'll leave
a favorable effect later besides money,

00:15:02,359 --> 00:15:05,we'll know when the festival is over.

00:15:05,654 --> 00:15:09,They're beautiful people, beautiful people.

00:15:10,659 --> 00:15:15,Well, is this festival
affecting you in any way?

00:15:15,497 --> 00:15:17,Well, it's kind of overwhelming us,
put it this way.

00:15:17,499 --> 00:15:18,In what way?

00:15:18,583 --> 00:15:21,Well, just to try to get the people fed,

00:15:21,503 --> 00:15:24,I would say, is one of the main objectives
we have right now.

00:15:25,006 --> 00:15:26,All these young fellows here,
they've g***t to be fed,

00:15:26,675 --> 00:15:27,and they're gonna get hungry,

00:15:28,009 --> 00:15:31,and I hope that they can bring
enough supplies in for them.

00:15:31,847 --> 00:15:33,That seems to be the big trouble,
and traffic.

00:15:33,765 --> 00:15:35,Actually, you know that yourself
without me telling you.

00:15:35,851 --> 00:15:37,What's it done
for business for you?

00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:39,Come on.

00:15:39,062 --> 00:15:42,What's it done?
It's increased it about, what?

00:15:42,774 --> 00:15:45,As much as you can do, put it this way.
And more.

00:15:45,193 --> 00:15:48,I'll say one thing for the young people.
They've been very nice, all of them, so far.

00:15:49,614 --> 00:15:50,Very nice though.

00:15:52,033 --> 00:15:53,It's really amazing, you know.

00:15:53,201 --> 00:15:58,It looks like some kind of a biblical,
epochal, unbelievable scene.

00:16:01,376 --> 00:16:02,They're all, you know, like all...

00:16:02,711 --> 00:16:05,You see these cars,
they're strewn on the sides of the roads,

00:16:05,464 --> 00:16:08,from the helicopter,
in all different angles, you know.

00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:10,They look like jackstraws
and stuff like that.

00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:13,There's this continual flow of people
just right in the street.

00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:15,They're going along and it...

00:16:15,891 --> 00:16:18,Jerry, it was all frozen,
so this is all I could get.

00:16:19,102 --> 00:16:21,Well, I mean,
from a practical point of view,

00:16:21,938 --> 00:16:24,what do you think, how could
they limit the crowd, you know?

00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:27,Because they didn't want
this many people here really, I don't think,

00:16:27,736 --> 00:16:28,but what could they do?

00:16:28,945 --> 00:16:31,So you find the control points
at the beginning of the highways,

00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:35,and those with tickets are allowed in,
and those without tickets are not,

00:16:35,452 --> 00:16:37,- and you have to have some control.
- Right.

00:16:37,287 --> 00:16:38,You have to have some.

00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,You know, when you have
man-eating Marabunta ants

00:16:43,084 --> 00:16:45,coming over a hill in South America,

00:16:45,420 --> 00:16:47,if they want to cut them off
and stop them from coming,

00:16:47,464 --> 00:16:50,they make a ditch, they put oil
in the ditch, and they make a flame.

00:16:50,592 --> 00:16:53,Now, I'm not saying they should
put up flames to stop the people.

00:16:53,929 --> 00:16:57,There has to be some way of
stopping the influx of humanity.

00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:00,About numbers, tell me,
how many do you expect?

00:17:00,602 --> 00:17:02,Two hundred thousand.

00:17:02,270 --> 00:17:04,Two hundred thousand
people here over the three days?

120...
