I recommend just setting aside time to read this; I think it opens up really well as you read it. But, here's a submission statement with slight spoilers.
Submission Statement
I couldn't find a better category than "life." The author, who has been maintaining sobriety for years, goes to a music festival. He touches on many different topics, from the festival itself, to consumerism, to escapism, to sobriety. It follows him throughout Bonarroo, so it's all told pretty linearly.
Ultimately, I would say it's really an essay about "transcendence" vs. escapism. (Sobriety is a vehicle for this, but I think it's really about the aspect of transcendence where we see something we couldn't originally.)
