    How easy is it to get there and be in the area without a car? Are there good buses/trains etc?

    There’s a bus/trolley loop that comes down the coast from Laguna Beach. Super handy and drops you off at the same place the shuttle does right outside the venue. I’m pretty sure service stops at 10pm though, so it’s Uber on the way back.

    Unfortunately, functional public transportation is not really a thing in SoCal, especially in Orange County. There are not good buses or trains. If you don't want a car, the beach towns themselves are walkable enough for your trip - Dana Point, San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and then you can refer to my uber/shuttle advice a few posts before yours to get to and from the fest. 

    Edit: I'll make one caveat - pending any more landslides, the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner is fully functional once again. The San Clemente stop would be closest to Dana Point, 15 minute drive/uber up the PCH. You can make it there from as far north as Santa Barbara to as far south as San Diego. Times are limited though - a good option to get there, probably not a great option to get back.

    Beyond PJ and Uncle Neil, am I the only one excited in the fact that Johnny Utah and his band Dogstar are going to be playing? "Utah, get me two!"
    Back off, Warchild, seriously.

    No -- the festival runs shuttles, but not hotels.

    To add on here, if you've never been to the US/California before, Orange County is basically all "suburban sprawl." It's pretty densely populated but not built for pedestrians. If you're willing to spend for a hotel within walking distance, you'll be able to walk to restaurants, etc. But staying in a nearby town or up by the airport will mean using Lyft or Uber to get to the venue. If we knew for certain where the festival shuttles will be located, I'd suggest getting a hotel within walking distance of the shuttles, but they've used at least three different locations over the years so it's hard to plan ahead with shuttle buses in mind.

    Why are there shipping fees?  Do they mail the wrist bands and tickets?

    It was like $10. Kind of dumb with the cost and fees but not terrible I guess.
