==Summary==
The story begins as [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] is at the Lane's, watching [[Jane Lane|Jane]] built a sculpture. They are interrupted by a very loud accord that destroys the sculpture and Jane uses the opportunity to drag Daria to the basement, presenting her to [[Mystik Spiral]], [[Trent Lane|Trent's]] band. Upon meeting him, Daria is suddenly mute, muttering only a 'Hi' and failing to provide sarcastic answers to his questions. Trent invites the girls to join him and [[Jesse Moreno|Jesse]] in a trip to musical festival [[Alternapalooza]].
More teenagers in Lawndale are going to the music festival: [[The Fashion Club]] are shopping in preparation, and Quinn even gets a fake tattoo. She is nervous when Daria tells her she's also going, but quiets down when Daria notes they won't have much contact in the crowd, and even offers her sister some fashion advice. Jakes tells them of his experiences in Altamont and provides some money and advice.
Daria and Jane are picked in the [[Tank]], Axle's old van. This has little comfort for passengers, with the girls having to seat on some boxes in the rear and having no seat belts. The trip is a burden to Daria, as holes in the road cause her to fall and break her glasses, a bee stings her and she later finds she'd been sitting on an old sandwich. To top it all, she has to endure Jane's non-stop teasing.
Quinn is picked up by [[The 3 J's]], who drive with her and the rest of the Fashion club in Sandi's convertible. [[Brittany Taylor|Brittany]], [[Jodie Landon|Jodie]] and [[Mack]] are also going, being driven to the festival in [[Kevin Thompson|Kevin's]] Jeep.
All groups stop in a roadside diner, where they are greeted and served by a smart mouthed waitress. While there, Jodie, Brittany, Kevin and Mack discuss the spartan conditions of Alternapalooza concert.
Later during the trip, after some heavy traffic and Daria having had to relieve herself between the roadside trees, the Tank suffers a malfunction and the foursome is left stranded. Jane enlists Jess to go look for help after a nearby field, an obvious plan to leave Daria and Trent together. These two share some bonding moments while talking about life. Daria tells Trent he is brave to go after his dream and that he is doing what he wants. Trent is grateful and compliments Daria.
Jane and Jesse return later, having discovered no help, and Jane eventually uses her glue gun to fix the Tank's engine. However, by this time the concert is over. On the way back, Jess and Jane sleep on the back of the van while Trent and Daria share the front seat, both enjoying the silence and company.
Meanwhile, The Fashion Club has a sudden change of plans when they see and roadside add for outlet shopping, with Kevin's jeep following them when Brittany correctly interprets Stacy's signal. They end up not going to the concert either.
When the Morgendorffer sisters arrive home, the next morning, they find Helen and Jake in a ''very'' relaxed mood, clearly having taken full advantage of their daughters' absence.
