The Best Of SPEC's Fling Facebook Event Page, Vol. II

Once again, SPEC's Fling Facebook event page is more entertaining than we're assuming the concert will actually be, so naturally, we had to capitalize. Honestly SPEC, we thought we taught you a lesson last year, but apparently not. Sometimes you just make it too easy for us. 

And to the Fling 2K17 Concert Director: maybe consider coming up with a system for selling floor passes that actually makes sense? 

Let's get to it.

Last week, SPEC distributed floor passes in two different ways. Basically, if you were one of the first 50 people to fill out a form, you'd get one; otherwise, you'd have to be one of 200 lucky lottery winners. 

...we think. We've read SPEC's directions for how to get floor passes at least 10 times and still don't understand it. Seriously, why is the explanation longer than an "Is/Does" outline for writing sem? 

Unsurprisingly, the whole "just fill out this form as soon as it goes live and get a floor pass!" approach didn't really work. 

Were we the only ones whose bitter, aged gym teacher loved to quote Albert Einstein? You know, that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? 

But shit really hit the fan last Wednesday, when SPEC switched survey platforms. 

Citing "technical difficulties" is never a good PR move. 

Someone had to say it.

Does this make SPEC Meek? 

We'd prefer Meek to Chance, tbh.

Basically, 1,000 floor passes just wasn't enough. 

It's simple math, no? 

You know shit is real when a Ted Cruz meme enters the arena. 

And once again, SPEC learned the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished.

And we were all reminded that Penn is savage, if nothing else. 

Alas, here's a thought: just avoid the concert altogether? Tickets are dumb expensive, you'll be exhausted from dartying, and it'll probably rain anyway. Lord knows we don't need yet ANOTHER reason to be salty.
