The Cow-Thingie turned out to be a wonderful festival and almost totally original, in my experience (well, it can't be COMPLETELY original, it's based on history!). I loved the way the fest was set up, it was visually beautiful, and everyone who worked on the various events (much of it member driven, YAY!!) had a quirky, humorous, interesting take on it. I loved it, and my highest compliments to Egypt!
