I have a big head - I often buy hats int he boys section. Won't find a girly floppy, but you can find maybe a straw cowboy that will be cute! Also it seems that discount stores have smaller fitting hats - try an unexpected place like Sears and you may have better luck. Even Gap had floppy hats and they came in sizes.
Wah pepper, I am sad you can't come! You can't come alone? Theres TONS of us who would love you to join our campsite!

ah! Target has some hats in the guys apparel section for about $15 - cute fedora types that would work well for girls too!
Has any ladies that have been to Bonnaroo in the past lost any weight? My BFF who is meeting us there and she thinks that she lost 5 pounds last year.
I'm pretty sure I lost a pound or two last year. Being so hot during the day, I just didn't get as hungry. And as bamadancer said, a lot of it was sweat-induced.
Also for several weeks after Roo, I was able to keep my appetite in check, which was a nice bonus.
IWhat do y'all think about, in event of rain, saying screw shoes and going barefoot?
Probably too much horse-poo in the mud?
Don't do it. When mud gets deep enough, no way to know what's underneath there. Even shallow mud can cover sharp, pointy objects aimed at cutting and infecting. If there's one part of you that has to be healthy at 'Roo, next to breathing, it's the bottom of your feet. Wear some shoes. Crocs are super light, comfy, wash off easily and protect your feet. Even an old pair of sneakers would be preferable to nothing. But stay away from flip flops. They tend to stick in mud and the thwack-thwack factor will splash mud all the way up the back of your legs.
My cell service is non-existent at 'Roo. Stoopid AT&T. Hoping to see most of you a little before noon at the spooge fountain in Centeroo, Target dresses or not, on Friday!
I think Crocs will be fine for the rain. If you don't have galoshes, don't spend on them. I will be in my Crocs! ;D
I am still taking a hoodie and some leggings to put under dresses or pants to change into. They don't take up a ton of room and it would suck to be cold. Honestly, I wore the same one pair of baggy cotton pants the entire trip and the ride home. No need to pack an entirely different cold weather wardrobe. After Friday, you won't care any more if you match or are clean. ;D
Last year my husband picked up a straw hat at a truck stop near the VA/TN border. He wore it the whole trip and had to chuck it when we got home. His plan is to do the same this year. You never know what you may find in the most random of shopping places! I am taking some crushable straw hat my mom bought in like the early '90s that I borrowed but never wore because I thought it was dorky. Now I see it as cool because it did crush a bit and heck... IT'S FREE!!!

Most definitely! I'm looking forward to the brunch and Dress Meet-up as much as seeing some of the bands I can't wait to meet you all.
K Kristen, I'll PM you my cell phone number... I can't guarantee that I'll be able to help if you're lost on the way to camp Inforoo, but two sets are eyes or better than one!

good point on the sharp things. I'll remember that.
Still rocking my flip-flops, though. I've worn them to three Bonnaroo's now, and they are still going strong. I love 'em, super comfy. I tried the crocs last year and they gave me the worst blisters I have ever had.
But yeah, I didn't even think of the sharp-things-in-the-mud factor. Thanks!

Wal-mart has some perfect rain boots for 15-20$ Both my man and I got a pair. Nothing fancy, but they'll definitely come in handy if it rains. They keep them typically on the back walls of the shoe section. - If you do get some don't forget some longer socks! Rubber and bare sweaty feet/legs is no bueno!

thanks! My rooomie is letting me borrow her super cute polka dot ones... Yikes i ho;pe i don't ruin them... but i am sure i will have to buy her a new pair
Alright ladies, my clothing duffle is stuffed full, zipped up, and WILL NOT be opened again until we're on the farm! Very exciting! Hope everyone has safe travels!!
I am having SUCH a hard time paring down everything I'm bringing! And I realized I have too many tops and hardly any shorts! I have to do some last minute shopping...
and while im asking...which of you goddesses are going to the brunch. we really need to make sure we say hey to each other since we are on the GFT.
I'll be there but with no Target dress. I have some numbers of people who actually know where they are going ( have decent navigational skills) so if you ladies want my cell # PM me and I'll relay the directions to Inforoo tent when I get them. I'll make sure to check my msgs one last time before I leave on Wed night.
I bought a hat today. I have a freakishly large head so I was not expecting to find anything halfway cute that fit me, but I missed part of my forehead when I was at the beach this weekend and look like I have a skin disease. So I'd like to both protect my head and not scare the people around me
Target had a camo conductor-type hat that was okay, but I wasn't in love. Then I found a cute neutral-ish pink floppy straw hat at Marshalls for $15! Yay!
funny story.. lol i finnally got the bag zipped i leave in 2 hrs for the airport..was going to leave out the raingear then saw the weather!! so somehow fit my clothes crocks rain boots raincoat and food in the suitcase..hoping fingers crossed i don't have to go through major security bc they will have to find a way to get the bag zipped again..whew literally was drenched in sweat..any how safe travels cant wait to see everyone!!!!!
alieblue PStyle! WOW! I wish I had stumbled onto this thread last week!
You can buy them on-site - that's where she got hers. They had a stand set up somewhere in GA camping - not shakedown, just kind of off by themselves. (I was with her)
