Really good episode of the @restartproject 's podcast https://therestartproject.org/podcast/music-festivals/ on the success of a couple of pop up #RepairCafe s at #BoomTown festival and the #CambridgeFolkFestival this summer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5ye6e0q586o

It was particularly interesting to hear about how meticulously the Boomtown Repairium was planned for success, situated next to the field where the people coming by shuttlebus not car were camping as they were likely to be the poorer, younger attendees who had the gear than was most likely to break.

Da bekommt der Slogan #Boomtown Cottbus eine neue Bedeutung 💣💣 💣 fassungslos.
