I am not a 5 year veteran like some of you but am a veteran none the less and this thread was really helpful last year and since everyone seems to be putting their lists together now I thought we should do this again.

Let's add in stuff for campers/ rv'ers/and hotel'ers :)

One outfit per day. One pair of comfy shoes and one back-up. 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. Light layers works best. Uber hot during the day, freaky cold after dark

Pain reliever - Aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, etc.

Batteries/chargers - 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, WATER, and more WATER

Wet Wipes

Toilet Paper

Toilet Seat Covers - forgot this one, thanks Ladies for the reminder.

Personal Hygiene - do yourself a favor and put your deodorant in a baggie in the cooler. Mine melted on my sleeping bag last year

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

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

Back up prescription eyeglasses and repair kit

Trash Bags

Paper Towels

Backpack

Extra contact lenses

Ear Plugs - Not everyone wants to stay up til dawn partying.

Hand Sanitizer

Sewing Kit w/ Scissors

Identification

Leave your jewelery and valuables at home.

Please take a picture of your contact info if you have a digital camera so if you lose it, lost and found can contact you to come get it. or whoever finds it if they are nice can do so too. - Thanks Countrygurl!

DO NOT put your ticketmaster tickets in your car. They will turn black and be ruined by the sun....I have heard this doesn't necessarily happen, but maybe just don't take a chance?

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.

Thanks to all our Stagecoach Veterans that contributed to this last year and will do so again this year. We rock!

Extra flip flops/shoes! I, without fail, break a pair of flip flops everytime I'm out of town. I've done it a Stagecoach AND Wagon Wheel AND in Laughlin!

GREAT job MRP!!! I learn something new every year and the rules do change. SC11 sounds like the festival ground will also change via BBQ Thom.

For hotelers...remember we will be checking into a hotel that has had TWO prior festivals, Coachella and the Big 4. Last year the soda machine was down for repair at my hotel and I was soooo happy that I already brought my own stash of bottled water and soda. There is a little gas station/store across the street but it's super expensive.

Agrees with Rose......we always take our snacks with us to the hotel...including coffee LOL.........does get chilly at night for sure so be sure to have something to cover legs and a jacket........but remember everything you walk in with you have to walk out with too.......easier if not loaded down! or forgetfull after "several" drinks lol or just plain tired from all the day's activities!!! Have been there since the beginning and all I can say is HAVE FUN AT STAGECOACH 2011!!!!

What I pack in my backpack for the festival: Sunscreen, AloeVera for after sun, bandaids, neosporin, wet naps, tums, tampons, toiletpaper, sweatshirt, lip balm, camera, festival ticket, fanny pack. When I get into the festival I x-fer my camera, money, i.d. hotel key, lipbalm into the fanny pack which stays with me at all times.
