| How To Get Boston Calling Wristband Off |
Before We Begin: A Gentle Warning
Boston Calling frowns upon early escape artists. Their website clearly states that these wristbands are designed for a one-way trip (to your wrist, that is). Tampering with them might result in a stern talking to or, gasp, a $20 replacement fee. But hey, knowledge is power, right? We (wink wink) aren't responsible for your choices, just here to offer, uh, survival tips.
The Wristband Houdini: Techniques for the Adventurous
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
There are several paths to wristband liberation, each with its own level of difficulty and potential for questionable glory. Choose wisely, grasshopper.
The Twist and Shout: This method requires pure willpower and questionable dance moves. Imagine you're trying to open a particularly stubborn jar lid. Twist the band with all your might while simultaneously shimmying your arm like you're summoning a rain dance. It might not be pretty, but hey, desperate times...
The Helpful Hand (or Plier): Maybe you're not feeling the solo shimmy routine. BE WARNED This method ventures into risky territory. Recruit a friend (or a friendly stranger, but that's a whole other story) and carefully use pliers to crack the plastic clasp. Remember, great power comes with great responsibility (and the potential for a slightly mangled wristband).
The Sneaky Shopping Bag: This one's for the MacGyvers in the crowd. Grab a plastic shopping bag and transform it into a magical escape tool. Weave it under the band and your hand, then use it to create leverage and slowly (key word!) pull the band off. Patience, grasshopper!
**The Grand Finale: Freedom at Last! (Maybe) **
Congratulations! You've successfully (hopefully) removed your wristband. Now what?
Celebrate: You've earned it! Do a victory dance (sans questionable shimmying this time).
Hide the Evidence: Don't get caught with the incriminating plastic. Dispose of it responsibly (read: not littering).
Plan for Next Year: Maybe invest in a special festival bracelet with a breakaway clasp? Just a thought.
