I've been to PCB for spring break 4 out of the last 5 years (some with MTV, some not). I've been way the f*** down the beach, unaware MTV was even there, and right in the middle of the setup, watchin every concert & contest. Its Spring break!!! You're gonna have a blast no matter what! Of course MTV doesn't make you have a better or worse time.

BUUUUTTTTT, I will def say that the years MTV was there always kicked it up another notch. There's something to be said about free meals every day, decent concerts, and nearly twice as many booths on the beach. Last year in my week alone was Lupe Fiasco, Paramore, and Flo Rida!! Each played at least a half dozen songs in their sets and had great stage performance.

C'mon people!! You'd rather have the super clubs throw the concerts??? You have to pay admission, its way overcrowded, and buying drinks sucks. I'd rather enjoy a free concert with the sand between my toes, gorgeous girls in bikinis all around me, and a cooler full of beer on my arm.

The years without MTVu were definitely a blast, but didn't have nearly as many stages or free sh** around. And the more concerts, contests, and free stuff, the more likely the girls are to come out and party during the day!

One of my favorite memories was the '04 Spring Break (MTV) where Taking Back Sunday was performing. One of the guitarists had a break mid song, threw down his guitar, ran off the stage, shotgunned a beer with me (randomly), and jumped back up on stage to finish the song!
