A three day festival on a laptop - not as a real one, but it's an experience

Guardian journalist Brigid Delaney curated her own three-day multi-arts, multi-platform culture festival, from the comfort of her own home. She went to a nightclub - "it’s so fun, no one’s sleazing on anyone and I don’t have to worry about getting an Uber home" - and danced from 9:45 p.m. to 1 a.m.; she watched Isolaid for two hours - "not only reconnected me with my favourite artists (and their houses) but introduced me to a heap of new music"; she saw Australian Chamber Orchestra play Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony while drinking wine, texting wine and eating pepperoni pizza - "but this immense work by Beethoven remains undimmed"; dropped by a Broadway piano bar - "singing via the internet is better than having no singing at all". Her conclusion after three days of some of the best art and culture the world has to offer – "without the festival crowds and a posse of friends it’s like the proverbial tree falling in the forest".
