It was an extremely windy day, with winds of 20-30 mph and gusts of up to 50mph, but this was early afternoon and the wind was not much of a problem. There is no wind noise from my mikes: I was using the manufacturer supplied windscreen with a tshirt draped over the mike to hide it and to reduce wind noise (successfully).

The SF Chronicle estimated that 750,000 people attended this year's festival.
