Valhalla does not exist.
The place I am about to mention is called by many other names—including the aforementioned—however, the single most important thing I’ve earned over the last few days has been a respect for the fragility of it all, and especially beauty.
This started to become apparent to me as I was lining up the press passes for the event in the week prior. We had been attempting to contact the Valhalla Music Festival for over two months in an effort to secure not only the passes but also the privileges that come with being able to cart a really expensive camera between a frantic crowd and a live stage show. We left emails, we left voicemails, we harassed them at the main office every fifteen minutes. Finally, after probably coming within a step of a restraining order, I was able to talk to a live human being:

Hi guys, it's me again, the person who runs the Lifestyle section of this site. We need to talk about some things.
The world in which we live right now is simultaneously a beautiful and awful place. It's beautiful where you look and desperate-to-the-point-of-nihilism everywhere else. We need to make it more beautiful. We need to make the world a better place.
Why us? Who is us, anyway? We are all of us. We are humanity, and we need to find a better way. The solutions we've been coming up with are only half assed and aren't really solving the problems we set out to solve in the first place. The problem of transportation has been "solved" by the problem of global warming. The problem of global warming will be probably be "solved" in some way or another by further marginalizing and, well, screwing developing nations. Problems like genocide have not been solved at all and will probably be "dealt with" through more death.
We need to stop listening to the bad ideas in society and start listening to the good ideas. We need to feverishly support the good ideas. And more than anything else, we need to stop living bad ideas and start living good ideas, ideas that enrich our lives, make people think, and indeed, help our global situation.
