If you were at Bacchanal on Saturday (and still remember it), you probably saw Katie Furr, CC '14, splashing around in the fountain during Macklemore's set. I talked to her in an email interview about how this came about, her thoughts on YOLO, and her plans for Bacchanal next year.
Sara Garner: Give me a little description of what exactly happened.
Katie Furr: So, if you look at some of the pictures you can see that I pulled a gate into the bottom part of the fountain and used that to climb up into the top. Once I was there, I stomped around in the water for a bit until it occurred to me that I could project my splashes onto the crowd around me and that seemed like an even better idea. So, I did that pretty casually for some time.

As I was up there I watched at least 3 public safety guys descend upon me. I'm not exactly sure by what powers I was able to do this (maybe it was because my splashes were creating a radius of which to steer clear), but somehow I managed to congenially halt their approach and they stood waiting for me to finish my display of about 5 minutes.

SG: Were there any run ins with Public Safety afterwards?
