It was one crazy weekend. Even with the inclement weather, people lined up for Dutdutan 2016. Personally, it felt like spending a regular weekend and having a drink at a friends place except multiplied a thousand times. It was like the world saying, “there are many crazy people out there as you guys.” Which was both surprising and comforting.
