yeah, it felt that way. kerrville has its "kerrverts" like burning man has its burners. Each has its cultures, and norms, and things that people tell each other...like "somewhere around day 6 you're gonna want to go home. Stick through it, it's worth the experience."
and that is true. Around day 6 for me, we got washed out meaning no one could go to/from town - we literally had to share supplies and suddenly entertainment was more of a need than a luxury (to keep people sane).
