By Friday, the party felt unstoppable. Campsites overflowed with trucks and tents, music hammered the air, and POGO worked the front stage like a man born for chaos, coaxing laughter, daring, and wildness from the crowd. Body painters traced neon shapes on bare skin as the sun went down, and the sweet smell of campfires wrapped around everything like a warm, reckless blanket.
Then that enormous American flag appeared, stretched across the front of the stage. One by one, the same people who’d been dancing half-naked in the dust lined up in silence to sign their names and messages. It wasn’t a stunt; it felt like a promise. That flag, covered in ink and fingerprints and beer stains, would be sent to a unit in Afghanistan. Under the roar of the band, a quieter feeling settled in: pride, gratitude, and the strange way joy and sacrifice sometimes share the same night.
