It takes place at a Krishna temple in a small Utah town (which should explain the largely Anglo look of the crowd). But it is a full Krishna temple, as I understand it (I lived in the town prior to the temple being built). More info about the temple here:

@mastabingus: so should everyone abstain from fun until governments are not corrupt and pollution doesn't exist? Your perspective comes across as incredibly cynical and dismissive of other peoples' own viewpoints.

that left me feeling like my generation is LAMEEEE.

Planet is being destroyed, government is corrupt, and the kids are running around like idiots trying to have their own "hippie generation" I bet all these people like totally like support the environment.

That garbled Latin is what happens when you use the Internet to translate for you. The word "Muse" didn't even get translated. "Ut" doesn't normally mean when. "Vos" shouldn't even have been translated, since it should be part of the verb, and it's plural, which probably wasn't the personal sense he wanted. "Postulo" is first person singular, not second person, and means "demand" more than it does "need". "Suus" is way of, as a reflexive pronoun.

Muse as you I demand his/her own.

Reminds me of those mangled tattoos, especially the one about "nobody but God can judge me". I knew a girl who had that one, and I wondered if she got the garbled one on purpose, but I never asked, to spare her feelings.

lol, jim.

I was here all along, criticizing something else.

You could try:
Musa, ut tibi opus est. (if I'm not mistaken)

Enjoyed the dioramas, though.
