Forgotten the hotdog?

A friend at church has just come back from Greenbelt. 

I confess I have never been but when I asked her if she thought I would like it she said:

"David, I think you would absolutely hate it"

Now, of course, it might be wonderful, cool, clever, artsy, alternative, inspirational and full of really nice people (all of which is probably true) but I just suspect she might be right.

You will be able to tell test this by reading/looking at this.

What do you think?

Your cup of tea?

My fear about Greenbelt is that they might have lost the hot dog (these applause..) 

What on earth do I mean? 

Well, to explain, I'll give you a quote from the truly excellent Rework and you will hopefully get what I am pondering.

"When you start anything new, there are forces pulling you in a variety of directions. There's the stuff you could do. The stuff you want to do, and the stuff you have to do. The stuff you have to do is where you should begin. Start at the epicentre.

For example, if you're opening a hot dog stand, you could worry about the condiments, the cart, the name, the decoration. But the first thing you should worry about is the hot dog. The hot dogs are the epicentre. Everything else is secondary. 

The way to find the epicentre is to ask yourself this question: "If I took this away, would what I'm selling still exist?" A hot dog stand isn't a hot dog stand without the hot dogs. You can take away the onions, the relish, the mustard, etc. Some people may not like your toppings-less dogs, but you'd still have a hot dog stand. But you simply cannot have a hot dog stand without any hot dogs"

[Rework, Page 72]

It's just a thought.
