45 days ’til you get a lil’ sweaty.

Are you sitting at your desk at work, wishing the day would end? Are you stuck in a job with a one-way ticket to Nowheresville? Or perhaps you’re in class or at Jupiter House, trying to be a studious student but already sick of the spring semester? Whatever the case may be, this is the chance to spice up your life, friends. 35 Denton is now taking applications for volunteers which might be one of the most exotic and exciting times one could ever have in Denton, MFTX. Who knows? You will if you vow to dedicate your time, sweat and energy into a music festival that is busy busting its ass for you. It could be the most magical time of your life but you won’t know until you try so do it to it. Or, just buy a wristband, ya lazy bum. Just be here in 45 days.

Bad Sports

As 35 Denton is a four-day music fest, you may find yourself tired, hungry and confused. It’s okay. That means you’re doing it right. If you want to fix all of that, be sure to check out Denton and Austin’s sweaty, energetic love child, Bad Sports. On a punk rock scale, they rank closer to The Ramones than My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy or whatever the kids are listening to now, so don’t be scared; they’re legit. And as with any legit punk show, your body will be subject to fuzzy, delicious guitar riffs, perhaps a bit of shenanigans from the crowd, and definitely spittle-covered microphones as Bad Sports covers such important topics such as girls and life and Denton. When all is said and done, you may leave even more tired, hungry and confused as you came in but in that good, satisfying, I-just-survived-a-punk-show way.

Fun fact: If you were at 35 Conferette last year and watched the High Tension Wires show, you might spot a familiar face or two.
