Comfest forecast looking dreary

The annual Columbus community festival, or Comfest, is this weekend and Weather.com calls for rain on Saturday, the festival’s most highly-attended day.

So you get in line to use the restroom, which takes another 20 minutes. By the time you use the restroom, your beer is empty because you drank it faster than normally while you were bored stiff waiting in the bathroom line. So now, you have to get back in the beer line.

And so on. And so on.
