LIVINGSTON, La. – Organizers of this weekend’s Rock the Country festival received high praise from transportation experts after successfully replicating the soul-crushing gridlock typically reserved for weekday mornings on I-10 and I-12 in Baton Rouge
It was like waiting in line to enter Hell, but with worse cell service,” said a woman who spent three hours trying to text “wtf” to her husband who was sitting at home laughing at her and her friends for not listening to him.
The award, which will be issued by the Louisiana Department of Transportation, commended organizers for “boldly selecting a venue for such a large event accessible only by rural two-lane roads and zero contingency planning.”
As a gesture of goodwill, organizers are distributing laminated maps of alternate routes and a framed print of the back of the car they stared at for four hours straight.
Authorities say traffic is expected to fully clear up by mid-June.
