Happened to one of our friends a couple years ago. He was 2 hours away from home when he realized he had left wristbands at home. Step daughter met them half way but still cost him 2 hours travel time.I had a stress dream last night that I got all the way to the farm and forgot my wristband.

I've been trying to get one from my guy setting tents up on site but he's gone incognito atm...either that or his phones dead. I left word for him to text me a few pics if he gets time but no telling when it will be. Soon as I get a report it'll be posted!I wish we could get a literal on-the-ground report.

this looks approximately like the "chair area" (remember they moved it back) and note how from the camera location there is a hill between you and the stage.

Possibly but I could have sworn I remembered that gravel walkway that cut across the field from the shakedown like vendors to the Relix side of the field. Curious how far they could have actually moved it back considering how many trailers and other equipment they had back there last year...gonna have to check my old pics.this looks approximately like the "chair area" (remember they moved it back) and note how from the camera location there is a hill between you and the stage.

RE: The porta potty post about leaving the seat up.
I assume you are talking about a lid, and not the toilet seat itself? TBH I couldn't even tell you if the port pottys had lids last year or not...

Never forget when back in ... the 1980's some time, went on a 3-show summer set of Grateful Dead shows with my friend John.
He forgot his shoes. We barely had gas money and had to put a couple of quarts of oil in the engine whenever we stopped, so he was not willing to spend money to buy shoes, so just went barefoot the whole time.
Wasn't a big deal for him except for the gravel parking lots.

I just finished packing and realized after reading lizard's post that I had forgot the flip flops for shower time. I think everything is covered but will update tomorrow on the way with what I inevitably forget.

Couldn’t really figure out where to post this, but this thread seemed appropriate. I just remembered that on Friday night, Dryw and I left the campsite at 5ish and didn’t return until 130am. Upon returning, we realized we left the back door of my highlander wide open the whole time. Plenty of stuff to steal, yet not a cracker missing. I generally feel that theft is rare and most security has low impact on it happening. This is a good data point in that direction. Just thought I’d share.

Some people leave their car opened. Prius pooped. Others leave their car open. It smells better upon return. I'm sure their must be a word or phrase that describes this.Couldn’t really figure out where to post this, but this thread seemed appropriate.

Everything was fine, though, nobody messed with anything, nothing missing. Whew! Don't get that kind of consideration in my own driveway....

I felt like my stuff was safe this year and my neighbors were watchful; they'd politely greet the various troll family members who came lurking around.
We had one "lost boy" who could not find his campsite and just adopted mine and neighbors' for a while; he seemed harmless yet omnipresent.

Pretty sure that my car was unlocked the whole time, didn't bother checking, and I had no issues until the last night when someone walked into my campsite and tried to steal one of my flags. Fortunately two of my camp mates were there and ran them off.

Looks like I forgot to stow my pop-up crank handle, probably dropped off the crank shaft on the road somewhere. Went to unpack the pop-up, and it's gone!
Lug wrench worked for a bit, but started damaging the crank pins on the shaft (Oops! STOP!). Vice grips got me the rest of the way.
Pop-up is stuck open now until my new crank handle arrives.

There are two types of trailer drivers in this world--those who have forgotten to raise the tongue jack, and those who will!
