don't leave home without...

...YOUR TICKETS! and all the other stuff mentioned above. I'd also say bring a healthy dose of patience.

Word, spacebunny. GMTA.

I would add:

Anti-diarrheal tablets, an extra smaller (8x10 max) tarp rolled with a bungee for carrying to the shows, tea candles (my alternative to a solar light), at least one extra small cooler for perishables, lots of small bath towels, heavy-duty contractor trash bags (I load gear in these and done right, they survive thunderstorms in the back of my truck.) I love my queen air mattress, too. Extra twins for putting in the shade tent during the day if you can afford them. At least two cases of bottled water per person (and more to vend...MONEY!).

Also, my simple kitchen. One or two propane stoves, the small type that screw on top of the propane cylinder. Coffee pot. One griddle or large fry pan. Coffee, tea, sugar, spoons, paper plates in great abundance (I give out coffee each morning to the neighbors.) Fresh fruit that will last in the heat a couple of days. Six or seven cantalopes. Eggs. Grease. Bread. Deli roast beef. Cheese. And best of all, and much loved by my neighbors, country ham. You can leave that pigmeat in direct sun in the pack for a few days and still eat it. The miracles of salt curing.

Bubbles. More bubbles. Bubble gum. Cheap guitars. Rhythm sticks. My Yamaha DJX scratch machine for really cheesy 5 a.m. rave effects.

An open mind. A grateful heart. Floss.

Six weeks from this very minute we'll all be grooving on the last day and getting ready for Trey to take us home. I feel all funny inside. ;D

Tarps, at least 4. the lighter coloured, the better (home, walmart). Bungee cords (walmart). Duct tape. First aid kit- bandaids, neosporin, ice pack, ADVIL. Some sort of way to find your site. stakes (walmart, plastic NOT METAL). flashlights. batteries. nylon rope (walmart). 5 day cooler (walmart). tent. screenhouse (35 @ walmart). Lanterns/flashlight. citronella candles (buckets). cases of water. well worn sneakers/sandals. baby wipes. Nonperishable food like snacks that wont suck in the heat. MORE WATER. gatorade. LOTS of gatorade. cd player/headphones/cd's. sunblock, sport type. light clothes that can get destroyed. hoodie.PONCHO. umbrella for the heat.folding table. folding camping chairs.backpack. blankets for sleeping and sitting. pillows that can get destroyed. air mattress. twin, not queen. Solar powered lights (home depot)

wow you guys could move in for life. it would be great to have all the stuff you mentioned...packing space it a great feat to overcome. we almost want to rent a van for this reason.
a few things not mentioned. tiki torches and centronilla(?) candle...thay make for great campfire scene. just be careful and responsible about it. a flag, windsock, balloon...somethng to mark your site. we attached extra tent pole to our canopey and tied a windsock and glow stick to the top of it. it was great at night.

I brought one dark blue towel especially for this purpose:

When the sun rises at 5:30 and you don't feel like getting up, you can pull this over your head to block the light and get another 2-3 hours of sleep.

Also, earplugs, just in case your neighbors are noisy (they will be).

Water. Sunblock. Water. Money. 2 flashlights plus one headlamp. Water.

Clothes pins. I ALWAYS take them camping.

TEXT = Goldbond powder, You bet that crotch is going to be raw in the heat and sweat.

Battery powered fans! And, I second lighters... I went in a group of 4 last year, and we're all smokers of some sort, and not one of us brought a lighter. Luckily, we had some kind neighbors who gave us a lighter... also, stumbled across some other lighters as the weekend progressed. Funny, because one of my friends had no lighter, he got backstage during Deadmau5, essentially... long story.

And wow... old thread.

Yeah we left our brand new camp stove in 08. Luckily we had friends who travelled with us over in VIP and we just kiped theirs since they were eating at the food tent.

Condoms, you never know...

ive told my spare key story, freeze water and sun tan lotions....

And at least proof that you started out with it when you can't find it Thursday

I am a big fan of the marsupial wooks they drag all kinds of weird things out of their fanny packs. One time it was a bottle of water they threw on my leg in line at the portopotties. Someone said you wer on fire. I looked down and a cigarette butt had landed in my cargo pocket on my shorts. I kinda got squemish for a second there was lots of liquid to extinguish things around portopotties. A quick thinking wook saved me from a mud? roll. Still got the shorts they have the weirdest burn hole ever in them the exact diameter as the cig butt.

TP. Word. Don't make mud butt without it.
