Ed wasn't happy. The crowds of people are severely over estimate, and a violation of the town's agreement with Lang and Kornfeld, and Ed didn't know if it was mendaciousness on their part or just incompetence. Either way, it was the town's problem now. Plus, on top of that, the police were proving to be totally useless in crowd control, the people Lang and Kornfeld had hired had no idea what they were doing (yet more evidence of their incompetence), and, as icing on the cake, he had never gotten around to making the specialized flowers he had hoped to use to screen the crowd....not that it would likely do much good now, given the number of people involved.

Still, they just had to get through the next few days, and the crowd would leave, thank goodness. Then it would just be a matter of cleaning up the mess. Oh well, sufficient is the day and all that. "Yes, Harvey?", he says with a sigh. "What's the problem?"

"Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Lets figure out if these tickets are counterfeit, and if so, where they got them. Then we can figure out what to do about it. Oh, and Leslie, good work on your line diagram. I'm sure it'll help get these people in here a lot faster, son.", he says with a smile. Then he gets up and starts to follow Bennett to the gates.

"The problem with letting in people with counterfeit tickets is twofold, though", Ed explains to Lucas. "First, it's not fair to the organizers of the festival, who aren't getting any of the money from the counterfeit tickets. But even if we put that aside, there's a more practical and immediate problem, which is that there's only so much space. More people are showing up than we expected as it is. If we let in everybody, it's going to be mess, and everybody's safety and health is going to be endangered. Not to mention the fact that, while we have to keep the concertgoers happy, we also have to keep the people of Walkill happy. A lot of people in town are having second thoughts about having agreed to host this in the first place. Wallkill people are some of the nicest and most welcoming people in the world, but we're also a pretty small town, and not used to having such big crowds. And we have our hotheads just like everywhere else. If people's patience runs out....well, we want to make sure that doesn't happen.
