Only if you live your life negatively, otherwise it's just a good time with good friends and good people.

the obsession with drinking within the punk scene really reminds me of a frat party but with better music.

But you also have to take into account there are plenty of fans and band members, who when they refer to drinking they are referring to all casual recreational drug use. If your not not Fat Mike you don't want the whole world to know that you snorted a fat line off a hooker's ass.

up the sober punx XXX. also, does anyone else think its absurd that the fest, one of DIY punk rock's biggest annual festivals is sponsored by fucking PBR?

Report

Chadreligion (October 30, 2010)

I thought that too.... Why not Tecate????? Is it because Florida is so racist??

Aren't they owned by an even-bigger, more-evil company though?

Report

Hasheesh (October 31, 2010)

They're owned by Heneiken.

BTW, not to mention, Alternative Press?????? Really???

Is that really a suprise?

Report

Hasheesh (October 31, 2010)

No. I know a lot of "punkers" that drink PBR, it helps the company deliver the product that a lot of these dudes are going to drink anyway, and it helps us not have to pay a thousand dollars for a ticket. Win-win.

I just meant that it's not exactly "better" music but different

Keep in mind where it takes place, though. Gainesville IS college. Without U. Florida there'd be 1/20th the population, and even that would be entirely gas station workers and grindingly poor descendants of crackers (in the literal sense for once) and slaves. In fact when I lived there I was always shocked by the LACK of frat action during Fest.

No Thank You. People pissing in the elevator??? During Mid-terms?? No Descendents?? This shit is no different than spring break, minus great bands and Spring, of course.

Are you agreeing or what? In any case, those towns would be even more destitute without the UF economy and tax dollars, since Alachua can't support shit for agriculture or tourism, but yeah, you're right.
