So Hopscotch was already two whole weeks ago (even though it feels like that weekend took place in a different world entirely) and I’ve had a little time to reflect on my experiences. While this was indeed an incredibly successful Hopscotch, I still kept it real by making it hard for myself in stupid ways. Here are just a handful of things that made me think this past Hopscotch (this list ins’t as long as the last one, which is a good sign).
-
After you check the weather, dress accordingly. No white t-shirts on days that it’s going to downpour.
-
Charge your phone ahead of time! Unless you’re a regular watch wearer, I’m gonna bet that your primary means of checking the time is through your phone. When you’re at an event that revolves around a very strict schedule, a functioning time-telling device is sooooo helpful.
-
Think about which venues serve cheaper drinks. If you know you’re going to CAM after Slims, drink up before hand to avoid the $5 PBR charge at the latter venue.
-
Those wristbands can get tight if you’re not careful! Don’t mess with them, you’ll only make it worse, trust me.
-
Keep it classy if you’re friends still have to be seen with you.
-
No one suspected there wouldn’t be an official map this year, but that’s what happened. Next year, just in case, I will hopefully have the entire downtown area memorized so I’ll never wander around aimlessly wishing my phone wasn’t dead ever again.
Thanks to everyone who was a part of Hopscotch’s 5th year. I had a sincere blast (minus that night when I was stopping everyone who walked past me to ask what time it was) and I was filled with love and esteem for my hometown for at least 4 days during and surrounding Hopscotch weekend. See ya there next year, suckers.
Love,
