Gen Store, Ice and PBR

[festivalfan]

several questions....I checked the website about the PBR, wondering if that info is updated for 2008, and does the festival ticket still provide access-admission to the PBR? Without a festival ticket, does anyone know what the admission fee is ?
also, I think I read about a convienence store on site, is that true? and they'll have ice? we sure don't want to go to Ralphs every day for ice. and there's no way i'll drink a warm margarita....or do we need the ice man to deliver...

pbr did not exist in 2007 so any info is cuurent to this year. figuring admittance is for festival attendee's only, so anyone else may need to buy a festival ticket to be able to partake in the event. not 100% sure on that, but it is my best guess.

also, the visitor section on the main site has all the info on the general store:
Will there be food booths or a general store in the camping area?
Yes there will be a store (all items are CASH ONLY).
Selling various sundry items which may include: Advil, Air Mattresses, Aloe Gel, Anacin, Band-Aids, Batteries AA, AAA, C, Benadryl, Bug spray, Chap stick, Cigarettes, Stagecoach festival merch (sweaters, tanks), Condoms, Disposable cameras, Ear plugs, Eye Drops, Ice Bags, Lighters, Lotion, Tent Stakes, Mini/ Small Flashlights, Mini Deodorant, Mini Hand Sanitizer, Mini soap bars, Motrin IB, Mouthwash, Neosporin, Pepto, Rolaids, Sunscreen, Tampons, Rope, Tissue packets, Toothpaste/Toothbrush combo pack, Water, Tylenol, Wet-one Wipes, Tents, tent stakes etc. Open: 24 hours starting at 1pm on Thursday, 5/1/08 until onsite camping closes on Monday.

so that store would ONLY be available to campers right? not all festival goers?

[Cooter]

yes, inside camping grounds.

Don't know about the store but they do have Ice on site- bring a wagon to haul it back with ya

I would hope that they'll have Ice at each campground

I went to Canada for the Calgary Stampede... and PBR events. Lots of fun...I am so looking forward to the PBR at Stagecoach. I didn't realize this was the first year. Figured they had it last year too. We are going to have some LONG days that weekend. PBR and the concerts. I'm still trying to figure out what shoes to wear...my mind is spinning with things to remember to bring. camera but not the pro kind, heaven forbid.... hat...ok...the lampshade will do. dixie cups.. wait no, too obvious..my coffee mug doubles great for a beer stein. pocket shooters in my bra, (the Dolly look!)have to make sure i don't feeze them ( the "girls" won't be too happy)...sunscreen..spf 35? 45? heck bring everything. now I need to remember the wagon for ice and grammas scooter... geeesh I have post its on top of post its...CAN'T WAIT!!!

I'm really thinking of investing in one of those misters you can attach to the tent. Might be nice when kicking it during the day.

When my boys raced quads we got these cool Umbrellas with a bottle attached to the handle with a hose that went up to the top of the umbrella, and the mist flowed from up there. I gotta find those.

Awesome when they were on the line, fully geared up in 110 weather on a hot bike!!

Many people had those hand held bottles with little fans on them ran off a battery and it misted. They usually sell them at Fairs. Maybe Wallyworld will have them.
