Emptyparachute – This is Chilifest at Texas A&M. This girl is lucky as hell. Every time I hear a story about Chilifest it starts with, “that one time at Chilifest before I got a MIP/PI/etc.” VINE – When all that practice throughout life pays off by getting you out of a ticket
i_am_bromega – The police at Chilifest (Texas country music festival near College Station, TX) are notorious for giving tickets to minors. I was over the legal drinking age when I went, but we did have a fun story involving the police.
Several of us were passed out in lawn chairs under the tent for our booth. I was jolted awake by three officers yelling in my face “STEVE! STEVE! ARE YOU STEVE?!” I nearly fell over thoroughly confused, and managed to toss my wallet at them in a hung over attempt to prove they had the wrong guy. They all start laughing and move on to the next guy yelling the same thing until they woke up. There was nobody named Steve, they just got a kick out of waking us up.
That’s just absolutely awesome. Feel like every time we get a story about cops in a college town it’s literally the exact opposite of this – power tripping dickheads just looking to throw somebody in jail, trying to assert their authority with the low hanging fruit of drunk college kids. This time we got the College Station cops giving out shots at redemption by challenging people to rock paper scissors. Win and you stay, lose and it’s Drunk Tank time. Totally fair. I mean it’s ChiliFest. Got to be able to let some stuff slide. Obviously if you’re belligerent or puking all over yourself the cops are going to do their job and arrest you, but just being a normal college kid having a drink? No need to be a hardass.
