You wake up, feeling kind of groggy. You open your eyes to what seems to be another dreary day. Yet, something insides you feels wrong. You feel optimistic, hopeful even. Suddenly. the realization hits you...
It's still early in the morning, and you didn't sleep that much last night. You've got a ton to do, before even thinking about leaving for Florida. But, you could procrastinate a bit. Maybe sleep some.
You put on your Fest playlist and get out of bed. It's the weekend before Fest and you're going to make sure you're ready. Your bag will be packed, nothing will be forgotten, all songs will be studied.
You sleep in, and wake up mid-afternoon. The day seems nicer out. Maybe it's time to go for a nice walk, or play some videogames. You totally haven't called your loved ones in a while. Oh, there's also a new episode of the Good Place out.
There's not a lot of room in your bag. Which of those items can't you miss? Who cares! Passport, wallet, smartphone, you're good to go!
Don't forget those flight tickets! Or are you driving this year?
Roadtrips are so much fun! I bet you're blasting Jawbreaker on full volume. I won't tell anyone. Wait, does that dude in the car passing look familiar to you?

Mikey Erg just drove by!

Wait, is he singing songs in his car?!

With no crying babies next to you, this flight will be just fine. Headphones on, Fest Playlist on, Stiff Little Fingers on repeat. If you like those Ulster sounds, don't forget to check Good Friend! The plane starts to board, you look around, and, wait...

Mikey Erg is sitting in your plane!

Wait, is he singing songs?!

Well, that was an interesting trip. You finally made it to Gainesville, and should head to the hotel. Of course, you are staying at an official Fest hotel, right?!
It takes a while, but you make it to the hotel. The pool party is already underway. You decide to check in first.
The clerk greets you

Wait, what.

It takes a while, but you make it to the hotel. The line for tickets is already growing strong. You decide to check in first.
The clerk greets you

Wait, what?

Ah, downtown luxury. You decide to check in first, before fully enjoying the #luxurypunk life
The clerk greets you

Wait, what?

Something must be wrong! You didn't sign up for this. Where are your friends? Where is everyone? The speaker is starting to play the Ergs songs, and everyone is Mikey Erg.
