Oysters and beer shits

So what you're telling us is that you can't handle liquor and seafood and you almost shit your pants?

It was a grand time!

Is there a list I can join to get notified of events like this? TIA.

I eat oysters all the time and they've never given me the shits. Also, most people don't drink a few beers and immediately need to shit themselves. If you have that issue, you should check in with your proctologist, bud.

I bought tickets for this in advance and bailed after 30+ minutes in the line to get in, not having made it past the halfway point.

That sounds like a legitimate complaint.

I will do that the next time I never eat oysters.

This event was seriously insanely badly organized. It's like the people who put it on had never put on an event before ever.
Oysters and farmers were lovely. Event staff was beyond useless.

Kinda unfortunate it took place practically right in front of Plant City, a vegan restaurant.

Everyone already inside looked like they were having a blast! But when you spend a half-hour plus inching towards a sign saying you'll soon get to pay $8 for a beer...

I was amazed they didn't bother with a priority line for those of us who bought tickets in advance. Apparently the only way to get more oyster/beer/wine (for some reason, also, three different kinds of tickets?) was to get back in the 45 minute line. 🤦♂️

Oysters are ok for ostrovegans!.

Since you're already u/DrowningInFeces, I doubt you would notice a little extra diarrhea after oysters and beer.

This is a problem with your digestive system, bud. The number of oysters I’ve consumed with booze could choke an elephant and I managed fine.
Maybe try some fiber.

It took place in a public park. Vegans aren’t entitled to a buffer zone.

There was a shorter line if you already had a wristband. It was on the side of the tickets tent. I guess a sign or two would have helped.

I wasn’t saying that, why does Reddit always jump to anger?
mrvis t1_irrblvz wrote
You didn't say why it was unfortunate so people are filling in the gaps, uncharitably.

Ok, so what did you mean? It was a weird comment either way.

Same thing happened with the Washington Fair this year, everyone apparently has forgot how to put on events after a two year hiatus.

How old is the phone that took this photo?
tads73 OP t1_irs61ak wrote
Samsung 2 years from release, it's on a zoom which always sucks.

This must be before they started putting the zoom cams in the Galaxys. My Ultra 21 has an optical 10x zoom and its pretty mind blowing.

These types of events are almost always a shit-show: pay a bunch of money to stand in long lines full of other people who are pissed off at having spent a bunch of money to stand in a long line.

I'm saying, when using a portajohn, never look down.

That festival has been held there for years long before that restaurant existed. There also a few other restaurants in that same section of buildings. But go off.......

So how is it that you assume everyone else gets a tummy ache like you when they eat oysters?

Looks like a great time! You should have checked it out OP
