I will start a thread on it so Im not totally threadjacking... Im sure others have questions too... (I saw your message too, I will try to explain)

You don't have paper plates, napkins or paper towels, plastic utensils and toilet paper, very important!

[JNPatton]

Indeed! I realized I forgot those when I was figuring out food!

[bluegrass lover]

Don't worry. I usually share with people who forget stuff. I go to a lot of bluegrass campouts and have a memorized list of stuff to bring. Someone always forgets something and I usually have it.

JNPatton, I decided to copy your camping list. You have stuff on you list I forgot that I should bring like chap stik. I never thought about sun screen for my lips but, that's a good idea. The B vitamins and the BCAAS sounds like a good idea to. I hope I won't need the BCAAS.

Oh Ya! But, there's also Del McCoury, the Grascals and Ralph Stanley. It's going to be hard to leave the main stage but, I can't be miss my bluegrass bands. Del McCoury is my favorite bluegrass band. The Grascals are good to. But, I'll be there for Steve Martin to. Bluegrass is my first love when it comes to music!

I remember that year, but it's funny, the last 2 years I've brought TP and haven't needed it.

*Ibuprofen (sorry, I had too, I can't control myself!) :p

[Miss B]

i always need TP in the festival towards the end of the day, those port a potties are a mess & you are lucky if you find one with TP

[JNPatton]

HAHA! Its all good, i'm a grammar and spelling Nazi too... I say that wrong so I spell it wrong.

Does that give me permission to correct you then? LOL, because I held back on your "loose" in the Everything Thread. Hahahaha :p

If you have allergies, don't forget the Claritin or Benadryl type medications. Non-drowsy formula, of course. I don't have allergies, but there was something in the air last year and I'm glad I had some meds for relief.

Benadryl is good to have on you in case you get stung/bit by an insect or have an elergic reaction to something. We always keep it in our RV. Had to give some to our dog once cuz he bit a bumble bee.

I think if we forget anything we'll just head over to your camp! Looks like the place to be! Oh, by the way, just purchased everything for our "mister" that we will be taking to SC! So many other places we'll be using it this year. Thanks!

[KUZN EDY]

Yeah... I bring soooo much F'n crap with me its really kinda disturbing. I use less than half the stufff, but i like to know that my bases are always covered. Last time i went to Stagecoach i had a house blender, a majic bullet, and a cordless margarita brand blender... Never blended a drink the whole time.

If you need anything or something breaks on you, stop by... 99% chance i have the tool to fix it. (Zip ties or duct tape)

Haha I love it! I'm an over preparer, too. Fail to plan, plan to fail is how I see it.

Hahaha, I am the SAME way! Last year some people were looking around for duct tape. My friends are like "oh, Karena HAS to have some". My packing list looks crazy. My friends are like "why do you need masking tape and string?" Seriously it's just in case!

oh n always good to have a pocket knives. But we shouldn't have any knives at the event :(

JN's list reminded me of the EZ up. I have one I can bring if you're not already taking one? Shade is going to be a lifesaver during our weekend blur!:)

[AmandaB]

Aren't you forgetting a table to play beer pong?! Also, a koozie to keep those beers cold.. a cooler and ice. & does anyone know if we can bring a portable potty.. for the drunkies in my group who won't be able to make it to the portapotty at like 3 AM. It is in a small tent like thing.

[Raquellita]

No one likes a know it all, ladies ;)
Awww c'mon now, we're just giving you a hard time. ;)

[JNPatton]

I bought 84 pounds of ice yesterday at Costco for under 9 bucks! Just throwing it out there.

[KUZN EDY]

There is a costco only a couple miles from the venue for anyone who wants to buy ice or other stuff before or when they get there. (cheap gas on the way home...)

Address... 79795 California 111, La Quinta, CA 92253

I think those porta potties (if they're the ones I'm thinking of that everything goes in a bag) are ok. We've had somebody in our group bring one once :-)

In keeping with the theme... *allergic* :)

Holy crap!

What? Is it really that cheap there? I've never purchased it there and I was going to just go and buy it from albertsons.

[JNPatton]

not completely positive that all Costco's carry ice, you might want to call. but yeah it was $4.19 for 6x 7lb. bags

[muko78]

Thanks for posting this! It's my 1st time and I was wondering what I should bring so this really helps a lot. ;) Can't wait to get this party started. ;)

Good! Glad it helped! I found ice for $1 per 7lb bag at the 99cent store today AND they open at 7:45am so I can get it Thursday morning!!

Smart n Final has 20 lb bags of ice for about $3.80 each and most of their stores open at 7:00 in the morning. I'm stopping there on my way out on Thursday to Morongo. Decided to bring extra ice chest (will make them fit) and buy extra ice.

[ratty2146]

Ice blocks work well too. We put 2 in our food ice chest last year and they lasted the whole weekend. Maybe added a bag of ice on Sunday just in case. Just make sure the stuff that really needs to stay cold right next the ice block.

I'm planning on filling up a few Red Solo Cups with water and freezing them. Those hold up really well for a long time as well.

What about dry ice my friend wants us to get dry ice. Does dry ice really work better ?

The BF's family goes to Glamis a lot and they said for the outside cooler they would use some dry ice wrapped in newspaper worked real good.

I'd be too worried about being drunk, or worse, somebody else being drunk/not knowing, and touching it bare-handed!

[Raquellita]

Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! I think I accidentally threw my list away!!!!! Oh nooooooo, I've been adding to it every friggin' day. I so want to cry.

Oh no!!!! 10 bucks says you put it in your phone now. I hope you find it at home.

[Hashbrown22]

Ugh! That sucks!! I have like 27 lists going because I keep misplacing them. -_-

[annie]

[JNPatton]

I did that with mine! Every time I think of something new I whip out my phone and add it.

[Raquellita]

Me too! I'm hoping it's on my bed with about 50 other things to do. hehe

I wish I could take a picture of the list I have on my phone. It made me laugh cause all it says is Malibu, Vodka and big big battery for big big flashlight. Ha! Maybe that's all I need???
