My 1st Rodeo! any advice?

[Bruce131]

So im excited to be going for my first year. my only problem is I am now going solo holding an extra P2 pass and a 2 room hotel suite. As a first timer, i was counting on my buddy to help me navigate this great experience. Im now gonna just wing it. So any recommendations, tips, ideas would be appreciated. Im sparing no expense, so ANYTHING worth doing, im down!

Drink plenty of water during the day and don't forget sunblock. Temps will be in the high 90's

Well that's too bad your friend backed out on you! I'm sure you'll have a great time anyway. The people are really friendly. Like FestivalRides said---hydrate!

Thanx. I'm just not sure about what to bring. I understand that once I'm in. I'm stuck How hoes that work from noon till last call?

Bruce...you have a seat/place to put a small back-pack under which should have at least

sunscreen for body and another for lips (I highly recommend Blistex five star lip protection)
a bandana (to cover your nose/mouth) for that horrible wind that really kicks up the dirt when exiting the festival.
a camera
loads of cash
a light jacket or sweatshirt for later in the evening.
wetnaps
a roll of toiletpaper (some years didn't need but you NEVER know)

Personally I also wore a fannypack that I used to keep my camera/keys/cash/wallet in (anything valuable)
remember that you can also purchase anything you need inside the festival.
rule of thumb to drink one bottle of water for every alcohol drink you have
get off your seat and walk over to the other stages (it's worth it)
