With this mesh of artists and commoners there exists the possibility of a transcendent one-on-one situation. Kind of like when attendee Curtis Osesik of New Jersey was plucked from of the crowd to dance onstage with A-Trak and then found himself playing Fool's Gold hype man before hanging backstage and smoking with Skrillex. Call it living the dream, Holy Ship!! style. We spoke with him.

Osesik: So I'm grabbing a drink with my roommate, and I have this cardboard cut out of Obama. Everyone is loving this thing and taking photos and we go to the bar and a Fool's Gold promoter comes up to me and puts a sticker on Obama and asks if I want to dance for A-Trak. So I say, "Yeah man, that sounds really chill. I'll be there."
And then?
He said I was going to get backstage access and a bunch of Fool's Gold swag sent to my house in Jersey. And then in an hour I'm backstage with the Fool's Gold head on [below] thinking, "I can't believe I'm about to do this." I mean, I love to dance. I don't really know how to, but when I was up there I was just thinking of music videos from YouTube and trying to bust out the Charleston and "Cotton Eye Joe" and stuff like that.
How did it feel?
The rush that I had was unreal. Being backstage and meeting the artists, I mean you expect to run into them around the ship and everything, but I literally was hanging out with A-Trak, Diplo, Gary Richards and Big Gigantic back there.
Why did you have that Obama cutout?
He's a very important person. I felt like it was important for him to be here with us.
What was the best part of the experience?
