Cheapos at a Festival

So, the Jazz Festival is back again for this year. Like every other year, instead on spending time rounding a group of people to go with me or bitch about the ridiculous ticket price, I'm sourcing for new ways to maintain my cheapo standard.

You see, apart from the RM50 ticket, they only sell Heineken beers there. Ooo, premium beer, yummy, but at RM15 for a small bottle (that was last year anyway, could be RM20 this year), that's gonna burn my pocket big time, if not my entire trousers.

Last year, I came out with this plan called, Plan Cheapo, where we buy cheap Tiger beers from our trusty supplier - oh you know who - and cram it all into one miserable small Coleman cooler, "How are we gonna get this into the festival?" Annie The Little One asks.

Crap, I haven't thought this through. They have quite a tight security there, guarding both the entrance from the main road and the beach, "Shit, OK, here's how we are gonna do it," I immediately reach for a few cold ones and pass it to everyone, "Crack it open and let's start drinking," being the genius, I suggested, "Perhaps we should down it, at least we'll get a little kick out of it."

After 2 cans each, feeling extremely bloated, we marched it, albeit a little rocky and a few episodes of severe brain-freeze and enjoy ourselves at the gig. Every half hour or so, you'll see our group splitting into 2s and mysteriously disappear for a good 20-minutes before returning and feeling extra happy and redder.

Eventually each of us did buy a bottle there. To cover a bit lah. How can one get so much high on life? Or the music? Besides, after trip no. 3, we couldn't be arsed to marched out for a can of beer. And it's no fun walking that far while you're under the influence anyway.

So this year, Leena suggest instead of this, "Why not we share and get a bottle of JD or something? Wouldn't it be much more potent?" she suggests, "Think about the amount of walking we don't have to do..."

She has a point, besides, we could disguise it in a bottle of...say..Coke! Heh.
