A good portion of any festival preparation usually involves a “how are we gonna sneak in some hooch?” moment. And look, when you’re paying upwards of $9 for a mid-strength beer, it’s a fair question to ask.
Depending on the flavour of festival you’re attending, there are a few options available to you: hiding it in water bottles or food, building a secret compartment into your car, or simply dacking that shit.
I’d wager that everyone, at least once, suggests hitting up the festival grounds prior to the event and burying the booze to dig up during the actual day. We all think it, yet no one ever goes through with it. But folks, one man has pulled it off.
Alex wanted to sneak some vodka into New York‘s Electric Zoo festival last week, but instead of hiding it in a watermelon or some shit, he decided to visit the event site a whole three weeks prior and bury the bottle at a location he marked with GPS coordinates.
Having been to the festival plenty of times before, he was pretty familiar with the layout of Randall’s Island where the event is held.
“The planning of the burial was simple,” old mate told LADbible. “We used Google maps and marked our spot on GPS so we knew where it would be. Then we waited.”
The retrieval of the bottle as a little more difficult, as they had to make sure they wouldn’t be seen by security or CCTV cameras, but with a bit of group huddling, they dug it up without issue.
He posted the preparation to Facebook where it spread like internet wildfire, presumably with captions like “HE FUCKING DID IT, THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN”.
Alex is planning to drop a book next year in which he’ll spill all of his festival secrets. Festival secrets that will become absolutely useless as soon as they’re made public. Rethink this, Alex.
