Music festivals involve a lot of waiting — waiting for sets to start, waiting for food, waiting for the bathroom. One way we like to keep ourselves entertained during festival downtime is by eavesdropping on the conversations going on around us.

Here are some noteworthy quotes from Innings Festival 2023 in Tempe.

We all know Innings draws a mature crowd.
