Camp for sure, saves the hassles of having to travel back and forth all the time. Or go with the happy medium and rent an RV. Both allow for the full Sasquatch experience

I'm pretty sure everyone is on crystal meth in Moses Lake though, if that's your thing......

My friend and I are doing the same thing. We are flying in from Ohio. We are each taking a carry-on and then splitting the cost to check one large suitcase, which is where we will pack our tent and sleeping bags. Still, we are having to forgo a lot of the stuff you would usually take with you to a festival - I've been to Bonnaroo the past two years. My only thought is to maybe purchase some stuff at Wal-mart once you get to Seattle - like tarps, coolers, etc. If you want to plan to drive down to Sasquatch at the same time (we are leaving from SEA on Friday afternoon), perhaps all four of us could split the cost of purchasing stuff?? Let me know!

-Are there any awesome (secret) stage viewing spots that are easily overlooked by most people?

-Are there any awesome food/beer spots that are easily overlooked by most people?

-Any other solutions for sneaking booze into the festival grounds besides the old vodka in the "sealed" water bottle?

-How thorough is the patdown at the gates. I realize it probably varies, so what has been the most thorough (i.e. pockets, waistband, cigarette packs checked) and least thorough (i.e. walk right through without even a bag check) you have experienced?

-Anyone ever get a SLR camera into the venue?

-In general camping, are some spots better than others. I'm assuming the best spots are close to the venue, and near (but not next to) the port a johns. Is there any other factors I'm not considering? How do I ensure getting a camping spot near the venue entrance? Would that just entail arriving early?

-Has anyone found a way around the no reentry policy? I know there was some talk of Sasquatch allowing reentry this year for a small fee this year. Has that panned out?

-Does anyone know a great, reasonably priced, awesome atmosphere restaurant in Seattle for my crew and I to eat delicious food (veg. friendly) and drink great beer/cocktails while we talk of the amazing festival we just experienced?

Thanks very much

For cameras, there are a couple camera threads from the last couple years located here in this General Forum. Just scroll through the older thread titles. There are only six pages of threads here, so you should find them quickly.

Getting a good camp spot in general is a complete crap shoot. You didn't get the best spots showing up early last year. You'll end up where you end up, so don't plan on getting a "great" spot.

For getting through the gates, pay attention to the checkers before you enter is the only good advice.

Otherwise, I can't share other secrets I know for fear that they no longer become secrets

Really? I'd love to save a little money by selling it if I really don't need it.

Are there many people that just walk in with all their stuff, or is it pretty rare? I wouldn't get hassled by the ticket-checking security?

I'm not sure lumpy has been to Sasquatch before, so I don't think that was a literal comment. I apologize if I'm wrong, my memory sucks sometimes.

They previously charged you a $15 camping fee for walk ins, but that was a couple years ago, and no one has mentioned this on the board since, so they probably don't do that anymore.

One thing is for sure though, there is no place to stash your car, so unless you are hitching, or get dropped off, walking in is not an option for you.

Are binoculars allowed? I'll probably be hanging out on the lawn all day so I'll be kinda far away from the stage...

Alas, I did go last year, but that was more along the lines that you don't need a super expensive camping pass, just gotta pay $15.

Ah, my bad. Welcome back lumpy. Do they still do the $15 walk ins?

To answer the earlier question, yes, binoculars are allowed.

To be honest, I don't remember. I was just referencing earlier things I read on these boards somewhere. I remember mention of that before. I had a camping pass, so I did not find out myself.

Security at the gates is pretty much only concerned with finding bottles of alcohol stashed in peoples' bags. Even inside the festival grounds, you're 100% more likely to get hassled if they catch you drinking booze out of an unauthorized container than if they catch you smoking a joint.

You don't want to invite trouble, so stashing illicit goodies next to your balls is still your best bet, but it's not like airport security or anything.
