The anticipation is killing me!!!!! I cannot wait! My stuff is waiting by the door, just begging me to hurry and take it to roo.
BTW-my friend is going first time this year and I told her to set up her tent to be sure it was all together, and she left it up and her dog chewed a hole in it, now she is freaking out cause she thinks the bugs will get in. I say duct tape but it doesnt even seem all that important on the big scale. Anyone got suggestions on patching?
i dont remember many bugs at roo..too hot even for them.

LMAO! I just told her that exact thing! Too hot for bugs at roo! She is absolutely terrified of any and all bugs! She is even thinking of selling her ticket over all this!

I didn't see ANY bugs other than spiders last year, and the spiders were little ones and will get in if you plan on unzipping and leaving your tent anyway. I don't know what they do in advance of the festival to get rid of the mosquitos, but i didn't get bit once. Think they napalm the area? Bugs just weren't a big issue for us, we didn't even use the bug spray we packed. Of course, we weren't anywhere near the tree line. You might get ticks there. FYI...they sell patching kits at any of the outdoor stores. I've never used one, so i don't know which ones would work best.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Holy sh*t ... what a ride!"
Sounds like a good deal on a tent. It's ozark trail (walmart brand) and some folks say that brand sucks, but it will get you through the weekend at a reasonable price.
p.s. my tent is an ozark trail. We bought it last year before bonnaroo on sale and it came with a mess kit, a flashlight, and two chairs. We also carried it to echo in october and it's going back to roo again and it's still going strong!

She'd sell her ticket rather than buying a new tent? Doesn't make much sense to me.
She panics when something happens like that. I don't know why either, cause I told her I would go no matter what even w/o a tent cause we are bringing huge shade tents anyway.
