I can understand not being allowed to bring in outside booze, but no food? Come on now! What are y'all going to do?

Here's our plans:
Breakfast - fruit, yogurt, bagels at our campsite
Lunch - use our best Hogwart's magic to get some protein bars and beef jerky into the venue
Dinner - support local vendors inside the venue

Booze - trickier since we're not morning drinkers! I can't imagine the beer/wine at the bars is going to be less than $5-6/drink (maybe more). I don't need to be blasted to have fun, but I'd love to have a few drinks each day - that's going to add up quick! More Hogwart's magic? Are they going to be checking for camelbaks and sealed bottles of water? I guess my main concern is buying a bunch of booze to have at the campsite but then being inside all day and not being able to enjoy it! (I know you all would happily drink it for me before during and after!)

What are you coming prepared for?

Love seeing the results here and I wasn't looking for people to divulge their magic spells or encourage violating the rules, just curious what people are doing. Do you all realize we're going to be getting around 12 hours of music every day! This is going to be a serious challenge as I love to sing and dance and have a great time. I'm going to need plenty of water and calories to keep me going

I won't be hungry for food. If I do I'll pick up a snack inside. I never eat nearly as much at a fest as I bring.

Breakfast on the Coleman at camp each morning. Maybe small lunch and snacks before heading to performance area

dinner, depend on how much partying we are doing but probably get something each evening from the vendors inside.

Late nite snack at camp, if needed.

For booze, going to drink before going in. Hope we can figure out easy to get some in. No way I can pay at least $6 beer/drink each night, that will add up fast. Figure $100 per day inside for two. That's not happening

Yeah, gonna have a big breakfast on the coleman. I hoping being in tent only we can still hear the music to take a food and drink break. will probably do somehing small inside just to try some of the local food. Id say we would be able to go through with a couple protien bars. Especilly if you have a bag. I always bring in a blanket and maybe a hoodie also toilet paper for the girlfriend and just scatter my granola bars down in it. Most time they never dig through all that..Im not saying its right but my wallet sure thinks so. It being so close to the stage, I think the tunes will be just fine at camp.

yeah, brekkies at the camp site.... espresso, yogurt, bloody marys, hardboiled eggs, cheese, fruit, maybe some bagels.
lunch, maybe a slice of pizza inside the venue, dinner will be also be inside the venue. For some reason i try to mostly go vegetarian at festies, so hopefully a nice veggie burrito or curry will be happening. I may need to escape back to camp for beers/vodka or if possible smuggle in a small flask to compliment the local microbrews so I dont miss any music. I know from attending 2 Festy experiences that Devils Backbone has some truly fabulous brews and am looking forward to that. I guess one of the "disadvantages", of continuous music is that at some point I may miss something if I head back to the campsite.

Breakfast at campsite, same as most a ya... fruit, oatmeal, coffee, bloodies

Lunch inside, lovin' on the local vendors

I'm imagining a trip back to the campsite at dusk-ish to snack, have a few cocktails, get glowy stuff together, etc.

If I get hungry late night at the concert area (unlikely, but you never know) I'll snack from the vendors.

We always pack too much and never eat it. Also, we worked all summer and this is our one vacay. That's why we're a little vendor heavy, I guess.
