RutgersFest 2011

So I’m going to follow the RutgersFest trend, albeit I’m a little late.
Honestly, it was a big waste of my Friday.  3OH3! was the best part of my day.  Pitbull wasn’t bad, but I’m not the biggest Pitbull fan, so therefore, not my favorite.  Plus, towards the end of his show, a fight broke out.  Two guys started fighting, the one guy then was double teamed and knocked to the ground, into my shins.  Ouch.  I grabbed hold of his arm to help him up, only to end up with mudd all over my hands.  Wooh.  Plus, it was cold and cloudy.  Not the best weather.  There were sooooo many people.  I heard that there were like 50,000 people. Far too many in my opinion.
My friend and I were ditched by our other friend, which pissed us off.  The bussing and amount of people flocking to College Ave was just ridiculous.  It was awful.  I left Busch for Livingston at 10.  I did not catch a bus to College Ave from Livingston until 1 am.  College Ave was packed with cars, it felt like NYC.  What’s worse, my car was parked over by the hospital, so I had to cross College Ave, alone.  Terrifying.
Three/Four separate shootings, some kid was knocked out by a bottle, and a there were wayyy too many fights, most of them catfights.  Morons, all of them.  College Ave, well New Brunswick in general, is terrifying at that time of night, especially with that many people.  Drunk people. Two girls threw up on the LXc I was on, disgusting.  If you can’t hold your liquor, don’t drink it.
Overall, it was pretty shitty.  Couple suggestions for next year, if there is one:
1.  Get a better line-up.  Who is Yelawolf?
2.  Limit it to RU students only. The victims were all not associated with RU and the shooters probably were too.
3.  Have better security.  The amount of fights happening and the amount of drugs being done in the open were just appalling.  Plus, people were shitfaced by 11 am.  Honestly people, have some class.
4.  Have better bussing for the night.  Soo many people were trying to get to College Ave for house parties and the like that it looked like a scene from the Titanic whenever a bus showed up.
5.  Blow up rides?  You’re kidding me.  Are we in college or not? The best part of the “attractions” was the big q-tip fighting arena thing.  I have no idea what it is called, but it looked like a lot of fun.  But otherwise, there were blow up slides and bounce houses.  I do not approve.
6.  If next year is like this year, then maybe it should be cancelled.  I’m ashamed to say that I’m from RU after all of the shit that went down this year.  It was utter chaos.
