another option is to rent a locker inside the festival grounds! these honestly come in very, very handy...for the 3 days it is: $27.99 for a medium, $42.99 for a large, $57.99 for x-large. add $20 for the key deposit, but you get that back when you return the key at the end of the weekend.
Rent 'em here! (http://lockersonline.com/stage.html)

Definite yes on the sunblock!!!
Lotsa water - I actually thought $2 wasn't too bad (considering I'm used to seeing prices much higher than that at concerts)! But if bringing some can save some money, I'm alllll for it!
Thanks for the TP suggestion - didn't think of that!

ok babywipes! i cant tell you how much those came in handy last year!
hat to block the sun off your face (& also your hair will look like a sweaty mess by the end of the day too)
sunglasses (but be careful and put sunblock on your face cuz you dont want to look like a racoon)
and dress in something other than jeans and boots, yes its cute BUT its california weather people and i had to learn the hard way at stagecoach#1 (youll thank me later)
ill think of more later :)

Cheapy, fleece blankets/throws...you might loose one, but you can find them 3 for $10 at Walgreens. Light enough to carry, big enough to sit on the grass, warm enough to cuddle in. I like them under my chair, hate the little bugs that crawl & fly around in the grass.
Showing up at the BBQ Contest around 1pm Yes
Showing up at 5 Pm and wondering why there is no Que No
Figure out how much water you will need and double it yes
Getting so drunk you dont know who is on the stage no

I got a free Toyota Tundra towel there last year, came in handy. I got bug bites all over me the last night! I think I got them stuck in the towel when on the hay bales at the side stage up front...owe!!
Hmmm...wonder if there will be a "snuggie crew" there! teeehehehe Good idea for the fleece blankets, that's a great price!

1st stop is purchasing a women's SC t-shirt before they run out.
2nd will be the BBQ. I'm assuming around 12:30ish or so I should be over there.
should I bring my own wet naps or will there be a hand washing station this year?

kc... too funny..I have those glow sticks on my "to buy" list. I was thinking the same thing, easy to spot after the potty run and trying to negotiate around "sleeping" people, a sea of blankets, strollers, and chairs.
