It’s that time of year again, Chilifest is back in Snook, Texas. Another year of skipping Friday classes, performers, beer showers and dropping half of your bank account on a ticket. If you’re looking for a way to take your Chilifest experience to the next level, you should pull any of the following powermoves.
- Bring your own chili.
- Invite your professor to Chilifest.
- Invite your parents.
- Buy a ticket for your friends who are on the fence about Chilifest and Venmo request them for it later. Include a service fee, since you’re doing them a huge favor.
- Ask your professors if Chilifest counts as a University Excused Absence.
- Q-drop all classes you have a test in on Friday or take the zero.
- Arrive in a limousine.
- Arrive on a horse.
- Email all your Friday class professors a selfie of you at Chilifest. Put “Priotities” on the subject line of the email.
- Blackout before the first performer comes on.
- Brag about how you went to Chilifest as a senior in high school.
- Blackout before you even get there.
- Cut the port-a-potty line.
- Make all of Snook, Tx, your own personal port-a-potty.
- Turn Chilifest into a 48-hour event by sleeping in your car in the Chilifest parking lot.
- Bring your own stereo and sound equipment to set up near the stage and play your Spotify playlist over the performers because who actually likes country music?
- Walk around with an open umbrella to avoid beer showers.
- Rock multiple fanny packs.
- “Your build is pretty good, but ours is better.”
- Break a beer pong table that isn’t yours.
- Participate in the ass luge. The evil twin of the infamous boob luge.
- Assume all alcohol is free alcohol, even if it’s not in the build you paid for.
- Personally hand each performer a list of song requests.
- Drink as much alcohol as you can before anyone else gets the chance.
- Post every embarrassing, and potentially career ruining, video of your friends at Chilifest on all of your social media accounts.
- Give a cop a beer shower.
- Brag about how drunk you got at last year’s Chilifest.
- Pickup any seemingly valuable items you find on the ground and sell them on Aggie Free and For Sale.
