My personal favorite place was the Jameson tent! AC, cocktails, leather couches, great music. It was a nice place to cool off, have a drink and meet great people.

I really liked the 2012 Stagecoach app for my iPhone. I used it so much this weekend!! I was able to see my exact location on the festival map and then send that to my friends.
I also used it to make my schedule of who I wanted to see so i knew where to be and at what time. The wristband scanning was simple and fast, i liked it as well! The new Camp set up was great as well!!! I was able to visit my friends in every campground!

Agree with Raquellita. Also, KuznEddys party Thursday night was a great way to start off the weekend. Thanks to all the SCMB members who made it fun and enjoyable for my wife and I. Also, it was nice to put faces to names and meet new people.

Now if only I can remember who I met. Apparently, name tags and booze don't mix well with me. :eek:

** Luv the wider Aisles ** Wrist bands made it a lot easier to get in ** More organized getting into ED1 and EDII this year ** There were more showers in the camping area (ED1) this year

the Jameson tent was awesome! I would stop in there after i put my tarp and chairs down because it was SUCH a long walk from my 110N site.
the wristbands were very easy this year.. just scan and go! - def lost my paper ticket last year and had to find a place to reprint it (luckily i had chosen for it to be electronically email to me!)

Amen! I LOVED the aisles, it was easier to get around. I also noticed that GA was a lot less crowded than previous years. I would say that taking away the bathrooms nearer to the front right of the stage kinda sucked. The first night we had to walk pretty far to even FIND a bathroom. But the rest just worked out great!

Yes the aisles were fantastic! It seems sooo much easier to get around - also While I didnt take part in the standing room only area I did notice QUITE a difference that there were not as many people coming in late and trying to squeeze in our areas - there was no one that tried to walk thru and then just decided to stand there all night - so that was fantastic!!
I also loved the Jameson tent - I just wish there could have been another one like that on the otherside of the venue. We could really use more of those air conditioned tents!

There was a chill room right next to the ferris wheel. It was nice an cool inside. No place to sit or anything like that, but it sure was cool.

There were some nice relaxing areas back there! On Sunday my mom and I got nachos and sat on the leather couches in the bar area, which was really nice. I also loved the Musicians Institute tent... It was air conditioned, had lots of places to sit and good music playing most of the time.

Same to you! Thank you and your group for your hospitality and letting us setup camp in front of you all weekend. It was the perfect spot. And I LOVE your tarps!

I am deffinitely looking forward to exploring more next year. But we had a blast at our campsite with the radio a blastin!

I needed those wider aisles. I stumbled all the way across from left to right.

There was a girl on Saturday who had a tarp and security wouldn't let her in with in. She was a bit annoyed. I told her to try a different line further down - not sure if she did or not.

There was actually someone a few feet in front of us going through security and they told her the same thing and she was walking back to her motor home to drop it off. We moved down a couple of lines and got in no problem. I don't think they train the security staff that well. I think Cooter said they get "on the job training"? IT SHOWED!

i wish the turn out was larger for the group picture though.... but i guess everyone met at the taco pot luck.... which sucks because i didn't get to the camping until almost 9 pm i still have all the veggi's cut up too! oh well maybe next year!
but Thank you Miss B for the Shirts!

We can get feedback from people that missed the picture and take that into consideration for next year. Maybe it's easier to do later in the day, although 3pm was a good time because it didn't conflict with any big acts. I'm glad you came by and still got a few pics with us Joey!

Probably the only way I'll ever make it to a picture is if we plan to take it wherever I am at the moment. It doesn't sound too practical, so hopefully I get to take pictures with y'all throughout the rest of the weekend. I'm a drunk mess...and a giant douchebag

Why didn't we think to take one with everyone on Thursday night?! Haha that would have been a smart idea, especially since Mike shot the Saturday one and was there on Friday. Oh well haha!

Ugh! I didn't like that one. I tried it, but it was right next to the port a pottys and the air blowing in smelled like s***! Made me gag!

I agree with the first list by FF...
I would also add a few things mostly dealing with Camping in ED1 (because thats where i spent most my time)
1. Loved the diagonal set up! It gave the ED2 people a straight shot to the venue without having to dogleg though ED1 and get lost.
2. Loved the Ice station in ED1. Yes they didnt have much other stuff, but ICE right in the middle was great!
3. Venue maps posted in each corner and middle was a huge help.
4. Pump trucks on monday morning was another plus. I didnt have to hunt them down sunday evening, because i had faith they would run monday like they said... And they did!
5. Mobile services... Pest control, RV repair, Mechanic, CAT... Saw them helping a lot of people!
Inside the Venue...
1. Great location of the stage. 2010 it was to the left and if you were at the far right (3rd base), you faced into the sun for the last couple hours of daylight.
2. BBQ area... I dont remember this location ever being available before. Slightly elevated and behind the trees? It really opened up a lot of room for other things. Good call!

YEah, it was a bummer. We started walking in and then I said nope, can't do this right now, and went back and sat for awhile. Missed all of Justin Moore, and went in to see Luke, but I had the worst migraine and was so naseous. It was miserable and there's no way I coulda made it to the picture and stayed out there for another few hours, or even walked back to camp. I'm sorry ya'll!
