gates open at 9am on Sunday morning and I'll be making a mad dash to the main stage to have the front row! I saw PJ front row (thanks 10c) in 2000 and the opportunity to see them again like that is worth sitting in the sun/rain/snow all day and suffering through clutch for! 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!

LOL!

I am still not sure where I am going to stake out. I guess I need to make my mind up but I am sure it will be a game-time decision.

haha

my wife & i were talking about this last night....i think we're going to make our way to the PJ stage about 1-2 hours before Dead Weather. there are just so many bands that we want to see that day. i still wish that Ben Harper played before PJ on that stage, but we love the Dead Weather..so it works out.

then there's the other side of it....there's a voice in the back of my mind telling me to go as early as possible for PJ...

Im still on the fence with this, I think it will depend on how hot it is that day... Im sure I wont make up my mind until the day before, Im standing on the same spot for Kings Of Leon on Friday so that experience may help me decided.. Im excited!! 2 weeks... though I have PJ next weekend in Portland, this next couple of weekends are gonna be aewesome!

question: how in the heck do you eat, drink, or go to the bathroom if you get there at 9am??

well you try to keep it to the bare minimum, drink slow and not to much just enough to stay hydrated, take cereal bars in your purse/bag and then make sure someone is holding your spot if you must go to the bathroom, like BF or GF or good friend, try to go to the bathroom as early as possible before PJs set

Hopefully the latest weather trend stays here a couple weeks. They've moved the festival back a couple weeks, and after 60+ days of temps over 100 this summer, it's been hovering in the 80's the last couple weeks. And the sever drought is tapering off. I've got my fingers crossed that it sticks around. And I am trying to compromise w the gf about staking out a spot. Not first row, mind you, but for Lolla a couple years back, we had friends there around 12-1230 and they were behind the barricade. Plenty close, but I don't want to be immobile all day.

From what I've seen at ACL the past couple of years if you are there early and set up a spot (or base camp, as my friends and I call it), people are pretty good about respecting that. Usually one of us will stay with our stuff as everybody else goes from stage to stage or for food and bathroom breaks, but even for brief times when we all left no one has ever taken over our space. People moved in closer and right up to where we had set up as the day went on but nobody ever moved our stuff. Everybody has been pretty friendly that I've encountered.

yup. and as the time gets closer, you can move closer to the stage. we've done that for a few bands. we were in the 1st row for Bjork, MMJ, The Black Keys, The Raconteurs and a few others. Bjork got a little crazy b/c one of the speakers caught on fire & a lot of people started freaking out.

Oh that was hilarious when she came back out and said, all Bjork-y: "Our speaker caught on fire! But we don't care, do we?"

I'm pretty sure the gates don't open at 9 am, do they? I thought they opened around 11...

My Corduroy Jacket

I think the gates open at 10:00 a.m., but i could be mistaken

TheLostSoul

i think its 11am. but i really wouldn't know. living here, im spoiled, and just mosey on ever whenever i wake up, have my coffee and my noonish poop...

McJuicy

i posted this in my own thread, but i'll try my chances here as well...

Before I check out couchsurfing.org, would anyone on the board be willing to share their home or hotel room for the evening of Wednesday September 30th in Austin, Texas? My friend, who I will be spending the rest of the weekend with, had to switch his flight to Thursday October 1st for business reasons, and I cannot access his condo due to "fort knox"-like security during acl. Anyhow, I arrive in Austin at approximately 9:30 PM on 9/30, and I am open to virtually any options. I just checked hotwire, and there is a 2 star hotel available for $49 (plus taxes, fees, etc.), so that is my best alternative to this point. I would be willing to make an equitable contribution to any shared hotel accommodations, and could also offer other goods/services to any fan willing to take me in for the night. If you have further questions, concerns, or inquiries, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss any additional information at your convenience. Thank you very much for looking, I hope to receive a response!

TheLostSoul

good luck McJuicy. what part of town in that hotel in?

Is anyone looking for a Sunday pass?
