Chilifest Groupon Takes Excited Fraternity Members to Chili’s Instead of Music Festival

Last Saturday, a Groupon mishap brought fraternity members to a Chili’s for dinner. Sources familiar with the students confirmed that the group had accidentally bought tickets to Chili’s weekend happy hour rather than the renowned country music festival Chilifest in Snook, Texas.

“All things considered, this works too,” senior fraternity member Tristan Adams said while finishing his sixth margarita of the night. “All we wanted to do was get drunk and hear some country music, and as long as they keep playing this radio station at the bar, we’re all good. Plus, they have indoor, nature-free bathrooms here!”

“It was an honest mistake,” a freshman pledge said when asked how the group ended up at Chili’s that night. “I wanted to get a good deal on tickets, and the ad talked a lot about free drinks.”

Although the group did not make it to Chilifest, Adams said the experience still “preserved the spirit” of Chilifest, as no one went home sober.
