Sridhar Silberfein
It Would Be Great If You Could Do That
The sun is setting on another 110 degree day in the Mojave Desert. Seventy-eight-year-old Sridhar
Silberfein storms in the front door dripping in sweat. For the past eight hours he has been out under the
sun, digging ditches for stage pole covers, positioning 10x10 tents, testing generators, directing cube
truck traffic, and otherwise micromanaging a festival set-up crew who have worked together for many
years. He swore that this time he was just stopping by to survey their progress. Yea right.
