It's beyond me.

There are so many different offerings, performers from around the world, that even an angry woman like Charen should be able to find something that appeals to her.

I've been to the festival and it was a giant, city-wide street party with acts and performances going on round the clock. You can find singers performing at 3 AM and comedians in pubs at 4 AM. You can dance with students from India and take a ghost tour that ends in a pub with free whiskey.

Only a true anhedonic would not love this festival.
