By the second day the fountain water looks horrifyingly bad. I still dont understand how people get in that crap on the third or fourth days.
I wish they would figure out a way to filter and clean the fountain water so it would stay relatively clean all weekend.
I just dont want to play in recycled wook-water.
that just destroyed all my fountain-fantasies (relax.. not like that)... altho I've got a strong instinct that its been fixed and everylittlething, is gonna be aright.
Hey worst case we'll still have the big plastic cups
btw, pardon the virgin-ness... what's a wook/wookie? Sounds fuzzy and funky and the same time.. i'm intrigued -->?
My first year I under estimated how important it is to get out of the sun. Buying a $100 shade canopy is the best money I have ever spent, it's so nice to get out of the sun, especially when you are feeling gassed.

BIG plastic cup at the troughs, works great for me!
I do the same thing! It's perfect.
I have been doing that until now. Beltwalla told me she bought a little hose that fits on a faucet, and I found one at Big Lots last week. It's about a 3 ft hose with a showerhead on the end. I think it will make washing my hair just a little easier

I was reading the above link and damn near spit my drink out all over the screen brah'! Is there like a warning sign or a general signal that wooks are approaching? (aside from the stank cloud) Still...thanks for the great laugh before bed!
1) You may not see all the bands you were planning to see and that is ok. 2) You may see a band that you were not planning to see at it will be amazing.

Hey dreaming, I would love to get one of those, can you tell me what they are called/brand name? I have considered sacrificing a water hose but that seems so wasteful, and the shower head would be a huge plus!

I threw away the packaging so I have no clue, but I found it in the carwashing section of Big Lots. One of the girls here bought one at a place called Hairworld - not sure if you have one of either of those stores in your area.
1. I always thought the portas by centeroo were a lot cleaner than in the parking areas and would make sure to use those prior to heading to the tent.
2. i like to travel light so i used a bandana to tie to the top of a water bottle and the other end around my belt. water bottle is small and can be refilled...saving empties, hands are free from carrying something...a pet peeve of mine, and finally--bandanas are always handy to have around.

I didn't read all 11 pages, so I don't know if this has been brought up, but I would like to add something. By 7 or 8 in the morning the sun will wake you up. The best place to go at that point is the cinema tent. It's air conditioned, and has a few couches. It's the perfect place to rest up for 4 more hours to get fully recharged. Plus, free popcorn breakfast isn't too bad.

I just can't get up, walk however far to Centeroo in the morning heat, go through security, make my way to the Cinema Tent, then cradle up and fall back to sleep. All that Leno would wake me up. Usually if I'm tired enough I can pull at least another hour or two in the heat.

I said this before in the thread but I'll say it again for people that don't feel like reading 11 pages.
If you're really hot and want a good fix of air conditioning, go to the silent auction tent. It's small and they have 2 big A/C units in there that you can actually stand in front of for a little while. Just pretend you're looking at whatever is on the table in front of it. And also you might find something you really want in there and make a bid. There's never a whole lot of people in there at one time either so nobody is pushing you out of the way to get into the A/C.
I always recommend this too my friends. It's a little quicker than going into the comedy tent or the movie tent and you can stand in front of it directly unlike those 2 places.
"How did I get in the hospital?" might be a decent guess. Followed by "OH SH*T I NEED TO GET BACK TO ROOOO!" and some silent sobbing into a pillow.
That's a good question: What DO they do if Roo staff can't revive you after finding you laying on the ground?
Probably call an ambulance if you can't get help on site. I watched a kid get carted off by EMS in '06. He'd had too much, and the staff were trying to get him to wake up. He was still breathing, but was out like Liberace at a pride parade. I know he came out alright, because the only death that year was the dude jumping in front of Ricky Scagg's tour bus... or was that '07?
that just destroyed all my fountain-fantasies (relax.. not like that)... altho I've got a strong instinct that its been fixed and everylittlething, is gonna be aright.
