Stori had attended the festival when it first began, and by mid-afternoon, she was good and sauced. She wore a hat that was no hers and had a full bottle of wine tucked inside her purse with a crazy straw shaped in a heart sticking out the top. Swaying to the music she bumped hips with the person next to her, and swayed happily, holding up her purse with he crazy straw, "Want a sip- I'm sure it's the good wine, Romanée-Conti." She said, peeking at the label and sipping from her straw. "It all tastes the same to me-" She said between her sips.
