Adrian's godfather had always wondered what a music festival was actually like. At 73, he got the chance to find out. 

Adrian got him a ticket, put him up on his shoulders, and carried him into the middle of Countdown NYE in San Bernardino, where a crowd of strangers welcomed him like he had been coming for years.

The next morning, after the night of his life, his godfather had only one question: when is the next one?

We tend to assume some rooms aren't meant for us — too young, too old, not our crowd.

But nobody at that festival was checking who belonged. They just made space on their shoulders and in the crowd for a 73-year-old having the time of his life.
