We have had a surge in new membership recently as happens each year close to the festival date. I try to greet new members as I see them post but I have missed some recently so to all new members welcome to our community/family! I hope that you enjoy your stay here and look forward to meeting some of you at our meet and greet. Please read the forum rules. Look around and you can likely find the answer to any questions that you may have. If not feel free to ask. If we can't help we can point you to someone who can. You will meet many awesome people here. I have made some lifelong friendships from hanging out here. Feel free to introduce yourself and let us know where you are traveling from but whatever you do...please don't feed the animals...

Did I mention I'm Greek?

I'll chime in - thanks for having us! I've sifted through and found a great deal of information here. The RV tips thread has been really helpful for someone who knows how to RV but has never done a festival. I have a tremendously better feel for what I'll pack, how I'll pack it, and how I'll deal with tank management.

It did take me nearly a week to figure out that everyone mentioning TOO (who is this guy?!?) in their posts was referring to you, The Other One (TOO), maybe I'm just slow though.

Is there an existing thread you can point me to for tips on what to bring/not bring to the concert fields (after reading the official lockn FAQ)? Mainly, I see that low-back chairs, blankets, and umbrellas are allowed behind a certain point - is it worth bringing these things along or should I just park it in the dirt? I'm not talking about other things, to be clear, just trying to stay comfortable while in the venue.

I have a busy Thursday planned bringing in two parties from regular car parking to RV camping, but if time allows I'll try to make the Meet and Greet. Thanks again!

You can bring all that, but like you said, keep it back from the stage so people can rage all they like. It's a marathon, so bring water, sunblock small snacks any and all shade implements. I was drinking bourbon one night last year and bought one of those inflatable couches for $20 off ebay. It showed up like 6 weeks later, presumably from China and I had no recollection of ordering it. People brings those, but mine will likely stay at camp.

Would it be light enough to float when filled with helium?

Wait till you have a Russian mail order bride turn up at your doorstep that you totally forgot ordering for $20 off of ebay. Not so easy to explain that one away.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?

Great idea! I'm still trying to figure out what to put on my rage stick. A big, helium-filled sofa would be awesome! I just need to buy more LEDs to keep it lit up at night...

I like where this is going... Although I'm not sure this is exactly the welcoming thread TOO had in mind when he started it.

Glad that we are able to help and glad that you are here. Not sure who first started caling me TOO but, as you probably know, that is how Deadheads used to abbreviate The Other One when writing out setlists and filling out cassette cases. I apologize if you already knew that. It seemed appropritate so it stuck. Took me the longest time to figure out what BIODTL stood for. Not sure that there is a specific thread for what to bring on the show field. Maybe we need one. I usually carry a bandana, an empty Nalgene bottle and four pieces of dry white toast but YMMV...

Friends don't let friends carry rage sticks. You should not need a stick for your crew to know that you are raging...
