I have to say that this was my third Oasis, and first time volunteering, and yes I encountered some cranky people working the registration desk, but honestly the majority of people were happy to be helped and made it great. I had a blast working registration and shared a few of my opinions with Matteo to help streamline things for next year. If I have my way I'll be there again next year to see everyone get checked in :)

As far as overcrowding goes, I didn't see it as such a huge issue. You just had to know that the more desirable parties were going to have a big turn out. I would just load up my mug and head on over. Expecting I may or may not get in, but could drink and visit with people while we waited. I am all for sharing the wealth and was happy to hear some of the bands encourage people to move on to other parties to filter in more people.

I know that people have expectations based on previous years events, but I've learned that you'll never get the same experience twice, so you have to look at all the good moments and determine whether or not you think it's worth your attendance in the future... and for me it's a definite yes!
