What To Bring

[tgcali]

We board (or is that bored? LOL) veterans know we're going to get about 50 of these threads in the next couple of weeks. So, I thought we could throw it out there to help curtail the influx of questions.:D

One outfit per day. One pair of comfy shoes and one back-up. Do yourself a favor and leave the cutsie shoes at home. Your feet will thank you for it. Flip flops are fine if you're used to walking VERY FAR distances in them, they're also good for the shower trailer. A lightweight jacket for late evening.
Pain reliever - Aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, etc.
Batteries - camera, flashlight or lantern, etc.
Sunscreen
Lotion - also sunburn pain relieving spray and sore muscle rub
Seating - blanket, beach towel, folding chair, etc. (just make it something you can easily carry)
Hat
Sunglasses - eye drops are good if the dusty wind will be a problem for your eyes
First Aid - couple of Bandaids and some Neosporin will do the trick
Shade - if you're camping in the Forum this is a MUST
Camping? - tent, sleeping bag or blanket, pillow, chair, cooler, extra tent stakes and mallet
Food - think about the time you'll actually be in camp and plan accordingly
Beverages - again, how long will you actually be in camp, WATER
Wet wipes
Toilet Paper
Personal Hygiene - do yourself a favor and put your deodorant in a baggie in the cooler. Mine melted on my sleeping bag last year.:eek:
Lighting - we didn't need our lanterns in camp in the Forum because of the stadium lights, but, you do need something for after dark bathroom trips.:p
Red Cups, etc. - stuff to eat your food on, with and drink your beverages out of
Bandana - you'll want to get it wet to help keep you cool inside the venue
Medications
Camera - film, extra cards, etc.
Money - for souvenirs, food, beverages and water in the venue, ice in the campgrounds, etc.
Tickets
Directions
Great Attitude

Lip Balm w/sunblock - thanks for this one Countrygurl!
Back up prescription eyeglasses and repair kit, trash bags - thanks KC4avon
Paper Towels - got this from Kitty and IHML's packing list, thanks Ladies
Backpack - or some type of carry all bag to use going into the venue. Much better than a purse! - thanks Ms. Jenn
Extra contact lenses - thanks Lizzy

I have a luggage cart that folds up that I got from Walmart. It can hold up to 200 pounds and I use it to bring my stuff from the car to the campsite. It was a major help last year getting all the gear in, especially the cooler since my daughter is too young to be able to help carry the heavy stuff. Just an idea.

Less is more. Look at how long you'll be away from home. Ask yourself what you NEED for that time frame knowing you'll be camping, walking, in the heat, etc. If you can't say for certain you'll use it, seriously consider leaving it behind.

Leave your jewelery and valuables at home.

DO NOT put your ticketmaster tickets in your car. They will turn black and be ruined by the sun.

If you're driving more than an hour or so, get your car serviced. Also arrange with someone at home to have spare keys and directions to the venue in case you need to be rescued because you lost your keys or your car broke down.

Stagecoach Tank Top/T-Shirt to be worn on Saturday.

I brought so much stuff last year, 'just in case'. I'm not making that mistake again!

Everything in bold has been added after the fact. I'll keep this a running list so check back.

AWESOME LIST...THANKS
What to bring
A bag to bring home wet/dirty clothes--depending on the heat, they could become ripe ( $1 store for 1 gallon zip lock bags are great)
Extra pair of eye glasses--dirty or lose glasses, need to get home
Food--Diabetic, low blood sugar. ( I need bread in the morning--might have something to do w/what I drink--ha ha)
Water, water, water--cleaning up, drinking
Bug repellant--grass bugs, mosquitos, ants
Trash bags

[deegee83]

Yay I am glad somebody started this thread.

Gotta have a hat.....or a visor, or something on your head....unless you are OK with the sun in your eyes all day long. I'd say the biggest challenge is the heat of the day. Lots of bottled water is key. Somebody on another thread said they bought a lot of the frozen lemonades. Think I'll do the same in the late afternoons this year.

[KC4avon]

the "queen of free" strikes again..what I'm bringing? Automatic Ice maker!!...Kohls had them for $200, mystery %% off scratch off cards--I asked to speak to manager to get them to give me the 30%, okay, now down to $140, have $50 Kohl's gift cards & $75 in Visa gift cards...yahooooooooooo....got it for next to nothin'...been testing it...it puts out ice!...so hey, if you're in our RV horseshoe, come get some ice...man I'm too lazy to dump an ice tray...ha ha...what to bring?...my ice maker..oh, it just dumped more ice...my screwdriver's ready for a freshener

You beat me to it I was gunna ask Kymery if she wanted to borrow mine. :)

[festivalfan]

this is a great thread. tgcali, I'm printing your list.. it's great !!! and (adding the chapstick with spf too) kc... you really worked that deal....too funny. start the ice making now !! we'll need it.

[Lizzy]

you guys might think this is weird but a tube of superglue. After a far walk and walking all day in sandals sometimes I get a crack in my heel and I put some superglue on the cut and I am pain free and it is sealed to where dirt stays out.

[tgcali]

Thanks. I added that chapstick to my own list. Thanks Countrygurl.

[KC4avon]

ohmygosh, gotta bring your Hand held walkie talkie radios! We need to pick an official SC channel that everyone should have. Then when we're driving & see a loon on the road, we can call them & see if they're one of us!! Also nice to make plans & see if others are awake yet. I hardly use mine, so don't know anything about which chammels to use.

Super glue

[tgcali]

Bug repellant is an idea. I didn't need it last year at all.

Super glue for a cracked heel is interesting. Never tried that. I just buy us both new sneakers about a month before hand and save the old ones to use at SC so they can get trashed and then they can be tossed out.

Glow sticks and such are great for fun, absolutely include some fun.:p

I was looking to keep this to what new people need to bring that they might not think of. As well as what they might think to bring that they don't need.

We have a lot of peeps here that have camped in the previous years that can attest to what to bother with and what not. That was a HUGE benefit for me last year for my first go-around to come here and read what the veterans had to say.

Keep the ideas coming folks. What to bring? What not to bother with?

[realgirl]

How hot do you think the weather will be? Should I bother with jeans and boots or will it mostly be dresses/shorts & flip flops? I don't do well with "sticky" heat.

[uscpsycho]

Women: Short shorts and short dresses :D

Men: Anything but shorts with cowboy boots :eek:

Hot. Very hot. Dry desert type of hot. Muggy hot if it gets cloudy. Hot.

Seriously, stick with short, tanks, dresses. Long pants and light jacket for late night.

[tgcali]

Men: Anything but shorts with cowboy boots :eek:

You are on a serious roll today USC! My co-workers keep looking at me funny for laughing out loud!

Yeah......let skip the cowboy boots with shorts......

[KC4avon]

[QUOTE=uscpsycho;34055]Women: Short shorts and short dresses :D

Men: Tight jeans w/"big belt buckles" & NO SHIRTS!!

[realgirl]

Thanks, good advice. This is a great list too, thanks tgcali and everyone else who contributed to it. I'm printing it out and it'll be my official SC check list!

[uscpsycho]

Thank you! I'll be here all week! Try the veal!

Every year I see a couple of guys walking around wearing boots and shorts. They look totally ridiculous and you just know they think they look hot.

Will this work if I throw a belt buckle on?

Thanks. Just know I was totally lost on what to bring, what to expect, what I would need last year and the folks here were a godsend. Trying to return the favor.

They look BEYOND ridiculous. Kind of like the folks with toupee's. *shudders*

(Please don't add a belt buckle to that......please?)

yupp we saw them everywhere..especially the first day.. they were being "real country like".... but after a day or so, i bet their feet hurt worse than ours, and we were wearing flip flops. No boots at all on my packing list !

[festivalfan]

oh gosh, you're killing me usc....
he's probably a really nice guy too, and look at us "poking" fun at him

[uscpsycho]

Who is poking fun at me????

[tgcali]

Who is poking fun at me????

Not you, Billy Bubba up yonder in them there overalls.

[uscpsycho]

Oh man... You dropped the ball that time ;) I was insinuating that was me in the overalls.

But yeah, I can see that's not very believable since he's not wearing a beer hat.

OK, yeah. You got me there. But, it isn't very believable without the hat.....

[Rose]

1st year - sandles (had to go to first aid tent for bandaids with MAJOR blisters)
2nd year - flip flops. My feet were bloody inbetween my big toes.

This year I'm finally going to get smart and wear my tennis shoes that I walk in all the time long distances. If you can't walk at least 5 miles a day in something then DON'T wear it.

Well thats about how I deal with it....flip flops till I am inside and then barefoot till its time to go each day....course you gotta bring baby wipes to keep your feet clean if youre like me. Dont like nasty feet on my blanket.LOL.

[uscpsycho]

You definitely need to bring one of these (http://www.amazon.com/Maxam-Jumbo-Stainless-Steel-Flask/dp/B00133YSUQ).

took my super glue last year and it was a good thing I did my sister in law needed to use as did I.

[deegee83]

when is Farmer boy's baby due?

ha ha ha LOL

[Ms.JENN]

I am bringing a backpack for inside of the festival. My purses/bags all dig into my shoulder especially come end of the day... That way my lil bro can also carry the pack/share the load.. With a purse I am sure he really wouldn't be down to haul it around!

Excellent idea. We use those beach bag backpack thingies. You know the ones with the ropes you use to cinch it shut and throw it over your shoulder? I don't know what they're called, I just know they're super comfy and hold a lot. I use it for the Del Mar Fair too so I can put the stuff I buy in it through out the day. Works great!

[tgcali]

ha ha ha LOL

That's Billy Bubba. And from the looks of that picture, maybe while he's at SC!

[Rose]

I received this great backpack as a gift for the first SC. It's perfect and lightweight (until I fill it up). It allows me to not have a purse. I just make sure I wear shorts or pants with pockets to carry my camera and money around when I'm wondering. I can leave my backpack at my seat. It's got all these compartments both netted and zippered for easy access.

In it I pack for the day:

roll of toilet paper
hair brush
lip balm
mister
wet naps
sunscreen SPF 50
aloe vera lotion
extra t-shirt
light sweat shirt for evening (which I have yet to need or use)
hand cloth/wash cloth - whatever you want to call it

it also has room for the souviners I purchase or grab. Program/t-shirts/fan/streamers/lai's

[tgcali]

We're on the same page Rose. My carry in backpack has:

toilet paper
lip balm
sunburn spray
sweatshirt
beach towel to sit on
wet wipes
batteries
bandaids
tylenol
personal fan (one of those battery operated you can get at walmart on a string for a couple of bucks, works great)
camera and money stay with me while I roam

Still have plenty of room for stuff I buy!

[IheartMillerLite]

Okay well it looks like I'm bringing THIS with me. First Stagecoach I had foot surgery and was in a walking boot and this one I sprain my ankle. I have such great timing!

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c46/lushouslisa/Thumbnail.jpg

[tgcali]

Bummer!

[SACRAMENTO!!!]

If you have asthma BRING YOUR DAMN INHALER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing like a friend having an asthma attack in the middle of the venue to sober you up real good.

[tgcali]

That's why I listed medications. It amazes me when folks have necessary meds like an inhaler and forget them when they go on a trip. That would be the first thing in my bag and I would check to make sure it's there numerous times.

[KC4avon]

Will piggyback for beer.

Get well soon!

[tgcali]

Just a little thought for those that are interested. Not necessities, but comforts.

I bought a fold-up straw mat at wally world for like 10 bucks that is big enough to cover most of my 8X8 space. It has a carry strap and weighs next to nothing. That way I can be more comfortable since I'm allergic to grass, along with SO many other things.:mad:

Also, we got a bamboo umbrella stand so it's light enough to tote to the site and we can use our beach umbrella w/tilt for shade. Sweet!

I picked up two 5 dollar camping pillows that you can blow up really easily and they have a memory foam layer. Pretty comfortable, very lightweight and lay flat for porting, and I don't have to fuss with my big pillow from home getting dirty. Nice! (Again, the allergies come into play here, but these things are super cool so you might check into them!)

My brother gave my daughter a blanket that is fleece on top and vinyl on bottom. It folds into a carry case with a strap and also is very light weight. We're bringing it to put on the ground in the venue with our beach towels or chairs on top. I have no idea where he got it from though. Sorry.

I bought some blueberry muffin mix I'll be making a loaf out of and some whipped butter that stays soft even when cold. I'm going to cut the loaf into slices and put it into a gallon sized zip-loc and put that and the butter in the cooler. Good eatin' there.

I'll let ya know if I come up with any more!

sorry to hear that you hurt yourself so close to stagecoach, hope it heals fast and you feel better soon.

[HonkeyTonker]

Put them in the glovebox and the sun turns them black. Totally unreadable after a couple of days.


Got mine a few weeks ago, SO excited!

[squirmysteph]

haha i thought it was a glitch when it said i had an unread post you are SUPER speedy!!!

[tgcali]

It always makes me think I'm typing slow.....

[tgcali]

Here's a thought - stick your tickets inside the cooler so that when you go to fill it up right before you leave there they are. Or tent bag, chair bag, sleeping bag, back pack, etc.

[squirmysteph]

Slow....slow is how my days are going by....

Maybe that's because I look at the clock every minute or so to see if it's time yet. Haha.

I think I'll go post something on the countdown....

[HonkeyTonker]

haha yea its going pretty slow for me too. thats why i had to take a vaca. im in FU^KING VEGAS!!!!!!!

[squirmysteph]

haha yea its going pretty slow for me too. thats why i had to take a vaca. im in FU^KING VEGAS!!!!!!!

Lucky duck!!

[HonkeyTonker]

Lucky duck!!

[melaine]

One more gotta-have item if you are sitting near the speakers. Ear plugs! Bring them, and you'll be glad you did. Nothing can block out the great music, but this softens the loudness.

im sensing sarcasm but in all seriousness liquor makes the world go around. and if you are too drunk to notice how loud everything was then you needed to have drank more.....

[IheartMillerLite]

Yes, guys, I sprained my ankle pretty bad a few weeks. Looks like I'm in a boot for 4 more weeks says the doctor. But I appreciate everyone who will be bringing me beer!! Thanks new friends (and old ones)!!

You didn't go to a true concert if you can hear and talk the next day. I'm just sayin'.....

I feel so bad for you IHML! We'll keep you refreshed. No worries!

[squirmysteph]

It's amazing if I even get out of bed after a night like that! No sarcasm with my last post...the day after (except for the flu-like symptoms from alcohol) is one of my most favorite parts of a super concert.

[Clay_Shooter]

IHML, total bummer.......but it seems like you're the type of person to make the best of anything. I bet that won't stop you from having a killer time.

[IheartMillerLite]

Oh the boot won't stop me! I just gotta find some good self tanner for the leg after it heals. =)

[Clay_Shooter]

Yea, I figured it wouldn't stop ya:)

She's unstoppable!!!

[KittyLeigh]

She IS unstoppable. 2 outta 3 Stagecoaches with a walking boot!! :) You better not have one for SC11!

maybe you need to be in the ADA section of ED1 now with all of us !!! should we rent you a trailer too?? remember we're going to try and recruit cabana boys for you.. (I know the joys of the boot !! ugh..)
good thing you can drink away the pain.. lol

[Clay_Shooter]

Gotcha....hopefully the cycle will be broken:)

[Raquellita]

What a bummer about IHML

[tgcali]

Raquellita is back! Yaay!!!

[Raquellita]

Yup, and I'm counting down! I'm getting excited already! How's it going?

[Raquellita]

I'm getting ready for the PARTY! This time I get to stay in ED1

[IheartMillerLite]

I must have scared Raquelita away since she's ditching the forum for ED1!

[Raquellita]

No way girlfriend! I already bought my forum ticket. Then I asked a friend of mine to go with me and stay in the tent (remember how big it was?) and he said 'Why stay in a tent when I have a 5th wheel' I couldn't pass that up.

[socalcountrygrl]

Glad Your Back On The Boards Raquellita....Thought You Were Maybe Skipping Stagecoach This Year

[Raquellita]

No way! I had too much fun last year. It's going to be a tradition for me from now on.

[tgcali]

So glad to 'see' you on here again! We'll miss you in Forum. Come visit, we're going to have a bunch of us camping together so it'll be easier to find us!

[Raquellita]

You got it! I would've pitched my tent right there with all you guys too! I'm going to start stocking up for the red cups. =o)

[IheartMillerLite]

Okay Raquellita, I wouldn't have passed up that offer either! KittyLeigh and I bought a GIANT flag pole so you guys will be able to find us for sure. Just look for the Miller Lite flag flying high above the tents. Or just listen for the biggest party in the Forum!

[Cooter]

Oh liquor ear plugs...how I love thee. And then your ears ring for the next few days because you were too drunk to notice how loud everything was. The ending to a perfect concert experience. Haha.

you do realize that permanent damage is done each time you subject your ears to that kind of noise, right? won't be so perfect once that ringing decides to stick around permamnently...

[lyndaOC]

thanks for the what to bring list. this will be my first time to stagecoach and i am ecstatic!! plus i will be prepared!!

Thanks!!!!:)

[GooseIsLoose]

I don't know if it's already been posted, but coozies are a must in the heat. Especially with how thin the red cups are. Gotta keep the bevvies nice and cold!

[uscpsycho]

What Cooter said.

If you're in GA you are too far back to need ear plugs but if you're close up protect yourself. When you get ringing in your ears that's tinnitus and it means you may have done damage.

We all like to have fun but please be careful. You'll get over a hangover but permanent damage to your hearing would suck. It probably won't happen from just once concert but all those concerts over the years do add up.

[socalcountrygrl]

Bring Beer If You're Campin....Money For Beer If Your Not!!! ....:):)

[tgcali]

thanks for the what to bring list. this will be my first time to stagecoach and i am ecstatic!! plus i will be prepared!!

Thanks!!!!:)

You're welcome. You are going to have so much fun! This festival is a blast.

[tgcali]

Just an FYI, anything I add to the list I'm putting in bold. Keep the thoughts and ideas coming and I'll keep the list running. The more we bounce ideas off each other, the more prepared we'll all be and the more fun we'll have!

[Raquellita]

Okay Raquellita, I wouldn't have passed up that offer either! KittyLeigh and I bought a GIANT flag pole so you guys will be able to find us for sure. Just look for the Miller Lite flag flying high above the tents. Or just listen for the biggest party in the Forum!

You'll have to come over to where we are and party there too. I already bought my Forum ticket and was all ready to party with you guys too.

this thread has been helpful, i went yesterday to big 5 and they have light weight comfy mesh chairs on sale for 8$. these are perfect. (cheap, comfy, lightweight, cup holder---all i need as far as chairs go)

[KC4avon]

Be sure to LABEL everything you hope to get returned, should you misplace it. Take a pic of your info for your camera, in case people find your mem card or camera, but also label it. Label your chairs, cane, walkers--ha ha, flask, light up cups, fans, blankets...if you use your cell number people can call & return asap. I like the clear labels, but any will work...you can hand write them or use the computer...or go to Vistaprint.com & have them made up--get a custom shirt while you're there.

Are you kidding me...
It is not so much the ear plugs which you really need to wear close to stage...
It is when you feel your wire bra start to pound from the speakers when you shoot(camera) on the stage front....

[countryfansam]

hi everyone. i am new to stagecoach this year. i have an RV coming with 4 other buddies of mine staying in El Dorado II. this might be a stupid question...and i kinda hope it is, but it says that there is no alcohol or outside cooking permitted in the campsite areas....is this enforced?

[socalcountrygrl]

HA!! Here We Go Again....Bring All The Alcohol Ya Want :) First Year They Did Not Enforce The BBQ Issue but Last Year They Did

[Tropical-Cowgirl]

We had drinks and we cooked on outside.. we never got caught cooking but I had a friend down the isle that did. They just asked him to not cook anymore.. They let him finish cooking his hot dogs though. No one ever says anything about drinking... just keep it in a cup and you won't be bothered at all.

[tgcali]

No to allowing cooking.......keep the alkeehall in a cup and you're golden.

[NicoleErin]

OK I'm gonna say this, just cuz y'all sound like it's gonna get wild in the RVs and the tents -- bring condoms!

Why are they called "sundry" items? I've always wondered this.

One friend just had the idea of the year...though it's pretty simple. Since there are 4 of us this year, all from different areas and meeting up to drive in together -- we're just going to bring the empty cooler, set up camp, then head out the nearby town and get our food, ice, water, beer there. Instead of figuring out whose bringing what, etc.

[IheartMillerLite]

I've wondered that too!

Smart move on just going to buy stuff once you set up camp. We'll probably run out for more ice and stuff. You and Carly should wander over to our area at some point. We'll have the Miller Lite flag flying high!

[WestCoastLady]

Shopping alert: Just got back from WallyWorld and they had really NICE camp chairs (navy blue) with arms/cup holder for TEN BUCKS!!! They had the armless ones for SIX BUCKS!!! The shelf tags in the area all said $17-22, but when the cashier rang them up....wow, nice surprise!!!

Also, I'm hotel-ing it, but I wanted to make up some jello shooters (virgin effort at it, but I thought I'd try) to contribute to the fun....I can bring them on Saturday morning if someone wants to volunteer cooler/fridge space for them....PM me!!

[Rose]

Dollar Tree
Wet Wipes, travel pack, 45 wipes $1.00!!!
Aloe Vera Lotion $1.00!!! - Wal mart started a $4.00 and went up from there.
Travel toothbrushes with holders (3) for $1.00!!!
48 piece plastic cutlery set for $1.00!!!

Walmart
Purchased Hot/Cold reusable pack plus a canister of sleeves with an additional pack along with 2 bandanas to hide them for my neck for less than $15.00. Looks like SC09 is going to be 100+ for us.

[Lizzy]

If you wear contacts bring at least an extra pair with you, the combination of the wind and the grass particles flying around it is a good idea to have an extra pair. You don't want to say I was at Stagecoach but I couldn't see anything!

[NicoleErin]

Looks like SC09 is going to be 100+ for us.

Holy gosh goodness, please don't let that be true!

HEAT?....TURN IT UP!!!

[abra]

Not sure if it's made it on the list yet, but... if you're sitting in reserved seats, bring nail clippers or some kind of wire type cutters so you can clip the little bands that tie the chairs together, and take your souvenir chair home. :D

[TemecRedneck]

I knew you people were fun but I didn't realize I was hangin' out with a bunch criminals! LOL!

Okay!!! I just told my girl that we had better lock up our tent and beer!:D

[TemecRedneck]

I like it...a bunch of fun trouble makers!

Hmmm...we're still lockin' up the beer.....while we are sneakin' one of yours!:eek:

Just kidding...but we share REAL well! Cheers Abra!:D

[abra]

I'm trying to get my hands on some ED1 people passes (i guess that's what they're called) so i can come party with ya'll in the ho-down, throw-down, party section!!! and, yes, i'd keep a close eye on that beer if i were you... :cool: :D :cool:

SC07 was just tie wraps inbetween each seat and by day two the rows were all messed up.

SC08 not only was there tie wraps inbetween each seat BUT every 3rd or 4th seat was a stake holding the row down to the ground to keep it in line. When you tried to pry those seats loose most lost the leg and were left behind.

Hopefully 09 with...you can't take your seat until the last performer is finished will have this seat removal all worked out.

Actually, I'm not 100 percent certain about the RV lots. But not the Forum.

Welcome. You won't be able to miss us! You're going to have soooo much fun!

Well if my tickets come through now! I'm buying them off of somebody on Craigslist and supposed to pick them up on Saturday, but I am not getting responses back by phone or email right now. I have NO CLUE what on earth to do if this lady falls through. I've already started buyin my camping stuff. Just tryin not to panic, my heart is SET on camping!

[Chevgirl357]

Anyone know what beer they actually sell at SC in the RV/tent area? Cans or Bottles?

I lookin' to blend in ....in my velvet leopard print shorts. Well now...that sure sounds a little more strange when I see it typed out... delete? Naaaah!:o


Don't forget the boots with your leopard shorts. They are a must have I hear...

Sorry you didn't get to the leads I tried for you. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you.

[tgcali]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

Actually, they're in a splint so I'll keep my fingers 'virtually' crossed for ya!!

[tgcali]

That killed me.

Yes, boots with shorts and a cropped shirt is all the rage for the guys.

[Chevgirl357]

Yeah, he never responded to me. Thanks so much for tryin though! I figure if I don't hear from this other person by tomorrow (she said the tix are mine, but until I have them in hand, I'm not ruling anything out) then I will begin my mad dash. Did you SEE how much they're goin for on eBay? Ouch!

I would try here before ebay. The folks selling on here just want their money back.

[Chevgirl357]

Looks like I will DEFINITELY need those condoms then if all the guys are THAT sexy. ;)

LMAO!!

Thanks, I needed a giggle.

Thats what the lady I'm getting them from wanted.....until people started emailing her higher offers! I had to wheel and deal a bit, but still came under $200 which is what I am willing to spend if necessary. I am just hoping she hasn't realized she can get over $400 for them. If so, I'm screwed. :eek:

[Chevgirl357]

Hey, why isn't my picture showing up next to my posts? I loaded one yesterday so ya'll can find me too :D

[tgcali]

Did you load it for your avatar or your profile pic? It needs to be the avatar.

[Raquellita]

I'll keep an eye out for you!

You still have a shot. Some good folks don't want to screw other festival goers, they just want what they paid.

[Chevgirl357]

Thanks!

Alright, I'll go look for my avatar.

[tgcali]

[Chevgirl357]

I was able to push my deadline to 2pm (having your brother for your boss helps a little)

Well I've emailed 2 more people on CL who look like they're willing to sell passes at face value. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

[Strunkas]

OHHH yes me too. I have so much to do..I dont know where to begin.

[jjaloha]

2 camping forum passes. There was a lady I was supposed to buy them from, but looks like she's gonna flake. And I went and bought some camping stuff last night already!

[Chevgirl357]

Oh, thanks so much for the offer. My friend paid $340 for our 2 weekend passes! He surprised me with the tickets though, so I wasn't able to tell him he's payin too much! Just need the camping ones now, and I'm in a bit of a panic. Somethin's gotta give, right?

[Strunkas]

I have an extra wristband for camping for $50.00...but only one. :[

ONe is a start, can you hold it until tomorrow and maybe I can try and find another between now and then?

[Strunkas]

yes. I dont even have all of ours in my hands, and wont until We actually get there. So..The only way I would be able to get it to you is actually there. Otherwise iIm not in a rush to sell it. We had someone back out last minute so I figured I would hold on to it until we got there and someone would be in need and buy it.

This is for an RV pass right?

[squirmysteph]

Make sure you're buying a forum tent camping pass and not an extra rv people pass...."/

[jjaloha]

Here is a link to one on the San Diego CL if you haven't seen it.

Ok, great, I'll let you know. Is it a camping forum pass or people pass? If I had one camping forum pass and one people pass would both of us still be able to stay in one tent? Not sure how that works...

[squirmysteph]

I think we got a "no" on that idea in another post....

[Strunkas]

No i think you both would need a tent forum pass.

And the ONE i have is for Rv :[ im sorry.

[HonkeyTonker]

not true. one forum pass gets one person in an 8x8 space then the rv ppl pass lets person 2 camp with person one in the 8x8 space.

Oooh, thanks! I've been looking and responding to ones on OC, IE, and LA. Didn't even think about SD!

[Strunkas]

not true. one forum pass gets one person in an 8x8 space then the rv ppl pass lets person 2 camp with person one in the 8x8 space.

So she could get one of each and be okay then? This all is so confusing.

[Chevgirl357]

Ooh, ok, got it, that might work then if I can find something. I don't care about driving to get it. I was gonna be driving 85 miles on Sat to pick up these other ones anyhow.

[HonkeyTonker]

haha yea. not that confusing really. if she got one each then just know they are sharing a camp space

[tgcali]

You need camping pass for forum and people pass for RV lot to stay the night.

You can use either one to go visit all the areas, but you need the proper one to stay.

You only get one 8X8 spot for each camping pass.

[Chevgirl357]

Do they check the wristbands when you're goin to sleep? Not being a smart@ss, honestly asking how would they know?

i doubt there gonna go and make sure he's got a camp pass on. he could just "visit" her and then just not leave..

[Chevgirl357]

Ha, I don't care where I sleep about now. Just wanna be at the campsite with everyone where the real party is!
