The Top Ten Musikfest 2010 Challenge (Are You Festive Enough?)

Well, Musikfest is officially here and we have a game for you! This is the honor system, so don’t cheat like those jerks who play trivia at the Brew Works and get the answers from their iPhones, like REALLLLLY?

This is simple… each item on the list has a point value. Track your checklist throughout the week. Most points wins. Tiebreakers will be determined by the most crazy picture submitted after all scores are tallied. 

Winner gets immortalized.

Oh and say hi to the Bethlehem Horse Police Cops, who are tweeting throughout the entire event!

Now, we went over what Platzes you should go to. You can also read our Muisikfest’s Best Food Bets from last year that is still applicable.

Since all of that is out of the way, lets get to the good stuff… here are 10 Things you NEED TO DO, no matter who you are, this year at Musikfest.

1. Get a Blinky Mug. It’s stupid, they are expensive, there is no reason to do it. But, I want one. You want one. The horses want one. Just get a freaking blinky mug so you at least have something to light your way home with. You know those purple bug zapper things? The blinky mugs are likes those, just the insects are drunk people. Do it and conform, OK?

Points: 2

BONUS: 1 Point if you try and hypnotize a police horse with your mug.

2.  See that Bell Ringing Dude. Cast in Bronze (so gay) is the real name. Any dude that travels with a custom made church bell piano is invited to my bar mitzvah any day of the week (but, not Sunday, right god?)

Points: 4

BONUS: 2 Points if you yell “FREE BIRD” while he is playing.

3. Chug a beer you smuggled in in a porta potty: Yep, shut up. Do it. Musikfest is the one time of year that MOST “adults” get the chance to enjoy summer, kick back and have an excuse to come into work hung over. So, this is almost like a rite of passage.

Points: 10

BONUS: 5 Points if you shotgun a PBR.

4. Stand for Five Minutes at the Emo Corner: If you’re not familar, all the goth kids hang out by the Moravian Church near the corner of Main Street and Church Street. They are weird, don’t shower and as much as they want to all be “different” they all dress the same. Go figure. You will NOT fit in here. So if you can stand within two feet of a gaggle of goth kids for five minutes, you get…

Points: 3

BONUS: 10 Points if you start a conversation with one of the kids about how good Nickleback is.

5. Eat a Take a Taco with just your hands. Why? Because I always wanted to do this. Their tacos are freaking great but something is lacking when you have to eat them with a fork. The thing with these tacos is that they are basically open faced and take up your whole plate. So, put down those utensils and chomp away.

Points: 2

BONUS: 3 Points if you don’t use a napkin.

6. Ride a Go Kart at Banana Island. I did this once. If you’re nice and probably not TOO fucked up, they will allow you to do this. Keep in mind that these little kids are growing up playing much more realistic video games than you… they will hurt you.

Points: 7

BONUS: 5 Points if you run a kid into the wall. 

7. Eat a Pickle on a Stick I’m not telling you where to find them, but, um search my blog and it’s not hard to figure out. These are the best and cheapest things you can buy at Musikfest with tickets.

Points: 2

BONUS: 10 Points if you cover it in some sort of topping. (Chocolate, funnel cake powered sugar?)

8. Pet a Police Horse I DID NOT SAY HIT. Pet. Be nice. I’m amazed that these horses even put up with all the crap that is going on around them during a normal Musikfest “work day”

Points: 3

BONUS: 4 Points if you ask the police officers riding the horses about their twitter account.

9. Get a Hula Hoop Chick to let you Hula Hoop with her You’ll be seeing more of them this year than you did last year if that stupid Hula Hoop ban is lifted!!!REMEMBER THAT CRAP??? These girls are kinda awesome, kinda weird, kinda cool. So, if one of them lets you hoop you collect…

Points: 6

BONUS: 10 Points if you kiss one on the cheek.

10. Get a Beer in Ripper’s Pub in Under 4 Minutes after 11 p.m. Good Fucking luck.

Points: 15

BONUS: 3 Points if you chug it immediately after getting it.

Ok, report back with your totals as you go!
