I suppose you can leave and buy offsite, but personally I can't even fathom leaving roo before sunday night or monday. Once I'm there I'm there for the long haul. I forget the outside world. I think that leaving bonnaroo to go into a walmart would just crush my spirit haha.
I tried to find it on the roo site but can't find it verbatim. If I remember correctly, I believe the "rules" are 3 cases and 2 handles of liquor per person, per vehicle.
So three people in a car = 9 cases of beer and 6 handles
It might be 1 handle, but like I said, I'm not sure.

And the handles need to be plastic. Unless you sneak in about 20 glass ones like we did last year. They don't put good Irish whiskey in plastic and I'm not going 4 days at Roo without some good Irish.
In 2008 we took our red wagon from GA and walked to the conv store gas station at the entrance road to stock back up. A local was kind enough to give us a ride back to Roo in the back of his pickup. A really great guy that knew AC personally.
^^^Any particular reason you didn't just put the Irish in some plastic to get to the farm? We've brought mixed drinks but just transferred them to a plastic container...

I guess I have an aversion to decent booze in a plastic container. Some weird neurosis I guess. I wouldn't care if it was cheap gin or vodka or takillya. I never really thought about it before.
Edit - and the only thing I mix Irish with are ice cubes and saliva.
I may have missed it if someone mentioned it, but here's a good tip to add to the cooling the cooler tips: Get a damp towel and drape it over the cooler, it will help trap the cooler air in. Granted, you'll have to go soak a towel every couple hours, but each time you do it it helps a little.

Last time I went I didn't have to buy any ice at all. I was doing a work exchange with a food vendor with a refrigerator truck. Between me an my 2 friends we has 6 (sealed) gallons of water. Every morning we would each take a semi-melted gallon to the freezer section of the truck and swap it for a frozen one that would go in the cooler. It worked great and we only had to pay for 6 jugs of water. We had the sense to bring more beer than we would need.
Question: What does it cost for ice on the farm and where can ya get it? Also I have a few jugs that I will need to refill with water a few times and was wondering where I can do that. Jugs are 6 gallon hard plastic and would need some kind of water faucit to fit under. This is my first year there so I really have no clue.

I think I remember ice being $5 for a 20 lb bag but I might be mistaken. There are a couple spots on shakedown where they sell them.

They also drive around in the morning on the main roads selling ice.
hahaha...you couldn't get me off the farm for all the beer in the world once Bonnaroo starts. I can drink beer any day of the week. I only get to experience Roo 4 days a year. If you bring in the max allowable amount of beer and drink it all before then end of the weekend you're going to be hurting and aren't going to want to drink...and if you still do then clearly you have a problem. Nobody should consume 4 cases of beer in 4 days in 100 degree heat.
We take a 5 day cooler, and an older cooler. We freeze a bunch of water bottles and split them between the 2, and plan for using the older cooler for beer once we get there (leaving the 5 day for ice duty and food that MUST stay cold like eggs and meat). We stop at the last station we can to fill up what ice we can fit. As the bottles melt in the older we start pulling them out of the 5 day. Haven't drank a warm beer, ate spoiled food, or bought ice in 3 years at Roo! Actually Thurs and Friday we have to sit water out to thaw or we don't have any at camp. I would never leave once entering the gates. What if your car broke down at walmart or something. Even if you left it till Roo was over what a headache and buzzkill for the rest of your time there. just my 2 pennies.

That does work, although it's not that it's trapping the cooler air in, it's that it's cooling through evaporation, the same way your skin does when you sweat. Homebrewers use the same thing to cool fermenters for making lager in places where they don't have access to a cool basement or specialized equipment.
Also note that this cooling depends on the humidity. If we have another bone-dry Dustaroo like '07, this method will work great. If it's humid, it will be pretty useless.
What is considered a case? 12? 24? Or just anything in a box? Coors sells 55 packs here in Calgary...
55? thats awesome!
Typically a case = 24 beers. Sometimes you can find a 30 pack which you could probably pass off as a case. I'm thinking they might give you some grief over a 55 beer case though.
