A lot of us partied in the field, but when I saw that it was 9am, I got in my car right away. Unfortunately a lot of people hadn't noticed what time it was and were nowhere near their cars when it was time to head on in. I was then able to get around the parked and unmanned cars and went in with no problems.
Recently I heard that they are going to open up sooner but no definite time has been announced. But I'm thinking they might possibly open at 6am. Don't know. I'm just going to do like last year and play it by ear.

Most people know that you don't mix water and electricity, but since there might be some misunderstanding, I thought it best to keep this to myself.

The lid with the batteries has enough wire that it can be secured away from the water source.

I suggest Friday at ADA.
.
ADA is located on the left side of Shakedown Street
just north of the street vendors and just before the
chug point charlie area.
Bring smiles, hugs, and handshakes, and an extra beverage or three to share with someone else.
Thursday is most definitely out based on last years entrance pandemonium.
Friday, everyone is hopefully settled in by then...
And by Saturday, most folks will be having too much fun to remember this shit!

Maybe we'll win those VIP tix from Sheetz or something. I don't even care about the rest of the package; I just want an easier entrance.

...or we can feel joy and excitement over the good times and memories that we shared with them because I truly believe that it effects both the living and the dead in a good way when we live our lives in the positive.
When you get to Lockn' we can pass around the wine and I guarantee, and know from my own experiences, that you will feel Chuck smiling down at you.
I was fortunate to have met you at Wanee Judie, and you are a wonderful fun loving spirit and I would love to see you again at Lockn' and having a great time in Chucks honor.

I am sure that he would rather that you moved on in a positive way and celebrate his life. Celebrate the good times you two shared, and let him know that you were made happy by his presence here on earth in the short time you were together.
He can be happy where he is now by knowing that you are happy.
I lost my best friend years ago. Some asshole murdered him in cold blood. After the funeral we thru a big party in his honor and this made the grieving a lot more bearable because we knew that this made him happy.
We knew in our hearts that this is what he would have wanted us to do.

Im hoping that the water spigot wont be too far when I pitch in preferred tent only. I have a collapsible 5gal container, but thinking of getting another just in case.
Last year I used a folding luggage cart on wheels that worked out really good, but I like those little red wagons. I saw a few people with those last year.

When I came up to be searched I picked the lines with the women security. They were easily distracted. I had 3 or 4 beers hidden and when they looked in that vicinity, I quickly brought they're attention to the fact that my water bottle was unopened, and they let me right in.
There was one ex marine looking guy that was very thorough so I avoided him.
I do remember someone behind me that somehow was able to get a 12 pack thru security.
How, I don't know.
I don't want to say too much, just incase were are being watched, but a thin flask was a blessing to have.
