So you think you’ve done it all at Summerfest? You’ve lost count how many times you’ve been there? If there was a “Summerfest OG Club” you’d be in it? Maybe even the club president? At least the Vice President?
Well here are 10 things that anyone who claims to be a die-hard Big Gig fan knows about.
- You know what “Meet me at the fountain” means.
- You have stacked empty beer cups and used them as a tall, single drinking vessel.
- You have danced on a bleacher during a concert.
- You have participated in a drum circle.
- You know bartenders cannot fill your cup beyond “the line” so you don’t nag them to do so.
- You are a woman who has used the men’s bathroom to avoid long lines (or if you are a man you’ve seen a woman do this).
- You have taken a break on the rocks (but certainly never done anything illegal while there).
- You know the name of the original restaurant that serves eggplant strips.
- You have taken the skyglider simply to avoid the massive crowds on the grounds or because you’re too drunk, lazy or tired.
- You know what it feels like to have your toes floating in beer after it’s spilled in your shoes.
