Too Late to Tiger Fest

2010 Tiger Fest was my last Tiger Fest during my college career at Towson Univeristy. Unfortunately I didn't get to the festival until the main performer was performing his last song.
Tiger Fest is known to be a day of drinking for those students old enough to do so. The price of alcohol in the gates of Tiger Fest is pricey for a college student budget. Therefore students gather at apartments to drink for cheap.
With alcohol involved, getting to Tiger Fest can be an issue.
Luckily Towson University has a free shuttle system that is running during Tiger Fest.
Or maybe not so lucky.
Myself and the group I was with for the festivities headed out to the shuttle stop around 4:00 PM. By 4:30 PM still no shuttle. So we decided to start walking and hopefully see a shuttle on the way.
A shuttle never came into view.
After walking along York Road for some time we finally could hear the concert happening in the distance. When we walked into the gates of Tiger Fest the headlining band, N.E.R.D, were saying their farewells.
It was disappointing after a long walk to realize we were too late to Tiger Fest.
