@smallcircles I should mention I was trying to capture my experience as an anonymous user. I would still guess the town analogy is generally apt.

@smallcircles relatively quiet respite near the bathrooms at an overcrowded music festival when I can still hear the music from the stage but I'm not interested in the acts right now, and people are having semi private conversations around me that they've been wanting to have all day but waiting until they could hear each other, and the people chatting are here to see the same bands as me.
