Country Festival Adds 20 Women …to Post Show Cleanup Crew
Boots and Bros, an upcoming country music festival in West Memphis, TN has taken it on the chin on Twitter due to its male-heavy lineup. Of 32 artists performing, only 2 are women, and one of those is in a male-female duo. Berk Cordero, director of the event promoter BroCore Media, said the negative social media response to the festival’s lineup has led the event to agree to add 20 women to the post-show cleanup crew.
“We want to provide opportunities for women to be a part of this great event.” smiled Cordero, “In addition to the usual contract workers we’ll have in to pick up trash, we’ll have our own all-female cleaning crew!” He went on to praise his company’s willingness to listen to criticism and to give equal opportunities to people who might not normally be a part of such an event.
Work hours will run from 11 PM to 3 AM Friday-Sunday with a smaller crew brought in for prep each morning. Duties listed on BroCore’s Glassdoor job advertisement include: collection and transportation of trash, stage breakdown, vomit removal, packing and storing of materials, portapotty draining, portapotty hosing, portapotty loading, and other activities. Applications can be picked up at the dog track during normal hours of operation.
All the women employed on the evenings will be provided with a pink and black “Event Staff” t-shirt, temporary usage of safety flashers and a flashlight, and $7.25 an hour. “They can keep the shirt too!” beamed Cordero. “And while we ask that they turn in any valuables they recover, well, you know…things happen. Consider it a little bonus. And some will even be able to begin their work while the headliner is still on stage. Working under the stars in the spring air while Sam Hunt talk sings. What could be better than that?”
When asked if the committee would be considering adding any more women to the actual lineup of performers, Cordero responded: “LOL” (spoken aloud).

Helpful Tips for Country Music Festival Attendees
A few helpful tips for enjoying your mainstream country music festival this summer:
• Hydrate before entering concert grounds (that means drink water, Luke Bryan fans)
• Hydrate before entering concert grounds (that means drink water, Luke Bryan fans)
• Apply 50 SPF or higher sunscreen
• Familiarize yourself with exits - that will come in helpful during the likely riot
• Drink in moderation or pace yourself (Fireball, water, Jager, water, Fireball, water, vomit, repeat)
• Pre-plan meeting places if your group gets split up
• Make sure you have paper or digital ticket ready when waiting in line
• Drive a car to the concert and you'll be able to find it more
quickly after the show because literally everyone else will be in a truck
• Take a self defense course prior to festival
• Never look a bro in the eyes; you could probably kick his ass,
but is he really worth a night in jail?
• Never accept open drinks from strangers
• Wear a knife/bullet-proof vest under your wife-beater
• The only sexual relations that should take place on festival grounds
is you getting screwed out of $7 for a domestic tall boy
• Don't believe she's "on the pill" if you just met her
• The stoner who hugged you during Eric Church's encore
is not your friend; don't loan him twenty bucks
• If you notice that someone has gotten a wallet chain through security,
avoid them because wallet chains can be used as weapons or means of restraint
• After eating concert vendor fried foods, never trust a fart
• You can buy that $35 t-shirt for $25 on their website
• Men in huge novelty foam cowboy hats are always perverts
• When the riot breaks out, hide in a rolling beer cart - nobody's going to destroy a beer cart
• The sashimi tent is a bad idea
• If some drunk guy looks like he's about to puke, point him toward
the tall guy with the girl on his shoulders who are blocking your view
• Don't video songs - are you seriously going to subject yourself to Tyler Hubbard more than once?
• Don't eat anything you don't want to taste twice
• If someone cuts in line for the port-a-potties, wrap wallet chains around the potty and lock him in
• If he's got a barbed wire tattoo, he's got an STD
• If she's got a tramp stamp, she's probably got a kid your age
• Stop drinking 2 hours before the show's over; is seeing
Chase Rice warble about hotties really worth a f***ing DUI?
• Never yell "come at me bro" because the sheer number of nearby bros
who will think you're talking to them ensures a beatdown
• When leaving the concert, never tell your arresting officer
to "s*** your d***" or that your dad's a lawyer
