The Great Beer Wars of 2012
Finally received the PIP email that explains what, exactly, we paid for this year. Turns out that the "unlimited beer" of yesteryear has become "10 drinks" this year. Needless to say, I'm not necessarily pleased about this development. Apparently, one of the reasons for this was because certain PIPers passed beers to non-PIPers in the past. So, essentially, the whole class gets punished for what a couple bad kids did...nice. My biggest issue is that 10 beers in 10 hours really isn't a lot: that's just a beer an hour. As others have pointed out on Facebook, I'm not looking to get drunk but I sure wouldn't mind feeling nice.
Depending on what my actual experience is this year, this may very well be the last time I roll PIP at F3F: I'm hoping the rest of the festival is a bit more managed than the last few days have been.

I'm allergic to the beer they provide, so I'll never roll PIP unless they change that part. That being said, I wouldn't say it was "just a few" PIPS who were passing beers to their friends. I would say it was MOST of the PIPS I saw, at least last year. It sucks that everyone else has to suffer, but I understand the decision that was made. What is not understood is that they didn't make this clear from the get go, I'm afraid that whoever decided to cash in points to get the King items will also be let down,because alot of the bands are jerks and won't let you even be sidestage for their sets. This isn't Transmissions's fault, but I feel like they shouldn't dangle the carrot anymore.
