Just stopped in for a second at the Fruttare Hangout, a little tent near the festival’s main entrance. I was going to go yesterday, but the line to get in was too long. It was a cool little oasis, with air conditioning, cush places to sit and even a waterfall coming from the ceiling into a pool in the middle of the tent. You also can apparently have your picture taken in front of various LCD screens showing desert scenes. How very hipster.

The hangout is a promotion for a new brand of frozen fruit (strawberry or mango) and milk bar, which are being given away for free and are really quite delicious.
