What To Bring

[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!

when is Farmer boy's baby due?

ha ha ha LOL

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

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

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!

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!

[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.

IHML, We sincerely hope your sprain heals up in time for SC....otherwise we'll all take turns fetching your drinks! Be well!

Will piggyback for beer.

Get well soon!

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.

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.
