Festival Survival Guide #002

YOUR FIRST CELLPHONE

In a post-apocalyptic world, what will remain of human civilization? Twinkies. Kanye’s diamond teeth. And the Nokia 3210. They just don’t make phones like they used to.

Which is why, after 12 hours of festival madness (tweeting, facebooking, hardcore Songkicking) your smartphone will be dead to the world, and you’ll be pining for a dose of cellular nostalgia. A full charge on a late 90s/early 00s phone battery has been known to outlive the Bush administration. So before you lose all your pals in the dance tent and head back to the campsite all alone, hunt out your Nokia, pick a ringtone and revel in the weight and security of 20th century craftsmanship.
