First time coming to hangout and was wondering what the alcohol cost would be like at the festival and if anyone has had any luck sneaking alcohol into the festival. Thanks!
They usually let you walk in with a flask. JK. They're pretty hardcore and intrusive about alcohol. Mission Impossible style skills are needed to sneak it in. Costs I believe were in the +$7 region for drinks inside.
Yeah 7/8 for 16 oz generally. Stella was high end last year I think though there was a craft area where you can get higher end craft beers as well as a few othee areas where you can get a decent draft. I know they had 312s. One is by the Ferris wheel and another is in the courtyard behind The Hangout where that stage is.

Wouldn't count on sneaking in any...they are very thorough with the search at security....
Beers are $7/$8 bucks for 16 or 20 oz cans (Bud, Bud Lite, Stella, etc.) You can get craft brew but only in one spot. I don't recall any liquor or hard ciders/lemonades being available but I wasn't looking for that, so I might have just overlooked.

They have higher end draft in a few spots in addition to the craft tent.

the plan of attack i used to use before we went the vip route was to empty my camelback bladder of all water then place my flask at the bottom of the bladder compartment with said empty bladder on top of it. then approach the line with all zippers open and bag out front. they look into the bladder part and see the empty bladder and keep it moving. usually their more concerned with looking into the other compartments with cigs, and all the random daily items.
also i start drinking as soon as i wake up so that helps.
Yeah I heard they were pretty strict but I was thinking of going the decoy sunscreen route or have my girlfriend use those fake tampon wrappers that hold alcohol

Yeah the fake sunscreen is not gonna work, I'll just save you the trouble.
As for tampon flasks....all I can say is wtf. Go for it.

They were onto the fake tampon wrappers. There was a ton of them on the ground by the west security gate.

I only got caught with a flask once and probably entered close to ten times. Security was absolutely nuts though and I kept getting "private" searches by the police who seemed desperate to find something on me. I did start getting a little lippy with them after the 3rd private search of the day where they practically violated me so that might have to do with it. The only way I was able to get alcohol in was in between my thighs all the way up. The flask would sit on the bedding of my swim suit. It's not a pleasurable but just do it right before you go in and you'll only have to deal with it for a minute or two.

I'm really hoping we get the schedule today or tomorrow! I can't wait to be back at Hangout! Was there in '14, and now we're going back this year for my bachelorette party!
Got a question for you guys- Our condo has a limit of 2 cars, and we are going to have 3. I know a lot of places along the way will let you park in their yard and pay a set fee for the whole weekend, but it's usually a ridiculous price. Has anyone been in this situation? What have ya'll done? Ok to leave a car at the Walmart all weekend? haha Or does anyone staying on the west side of the fest have extra parking at their condo/house?

LMFAO. 3rd of the day? Shave off the dreads?
No dreads and I'm not over exaggerating at all. It actually became a joke between my friends where they would bet on if I would get pulled aside or not. I was wearing a Pink Floyd tank, some board shorts and all of my old Hangout festival bracelets. A few times I forgot I still had flasks in my camelbak as we were walking up and I'd hit a quick U turn to get everything in place which I think they say and what gave me away.
I hear ya there. It snowed over night here in Buffalo. The absolute worst feeling shoveling snow in April. 42 days until we leave for the beach.
Ok I feel better im not dealing w snow. You need this more than me. Shit in 3 days Ill be w Krisp and Estaban at Euphoria. But nothing beats that feeling after a 12 hour drive and walking into your condo w your homies and knowing you're there.

Speaking of 42 days away, I give you all the Struts! Im a big fan of these guys and saw them at a small venue back in the fall and had a blast. The lead singer is as flamboyant as it gets and knows how to lead a show.
From Wiki "The Struts are an English rock band from Derby, Derbyshire. The band consists of vocalist Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott, and drummer Gethin Davies. Formed in 2010, the original lineup was composed of Spiller, Slack, bassist Jamie Binns and drummer Rafe Thomas.
Influenced by Queen, the Rolling Stones, Def Leppard, Oasis, and The Libertines, The Struts have been described as "unabashedly over the top retro-fetishist classic rock", "glamourous and dangerous", and as "having a chance to spark a real rock revival with their hooky glam sound, which manages to pay tribute to the classics, while remaining impeccably moder"

I moved to buffalo in mid april '94...it was snowing that day and the lake was completely frozen...the omgwtf have i done came on quick. ...that was after running out of gas outside of Schenectady and paying what seemed like a few thousand dollars in tolls. ..that day is pretty seared in the memory.

Toll from Buffalo to Albany is now close to $20 for one way. Then if you have to cross a few downstate bridges, wham, NYS gets ya good.
