I have a question about ice - I *think* that falls under the food thread?
I know the convenience store on site sells ice, but I can't remember if typically there is an issue of it selling out quickly. Anyone know if they keep it fairly well stocked? We're bringing some along before arrival, but of course it would be nice to keep the beers chilled all weekend. We were able to go several days last year just using what we brought from home, but by Sunday evening things were mostly luke warm.

We never had an issue getting ice from the store. I think we always went in the morning, so not sure if that makes a difference.

Yeah, they're pretty good about keeping that little store stocked (except with cigarettes -- BRING ENOUGH CIGARETTES). Ice is cheap and in good supply, which makes me wonder why I drank warm beer for three days last year.

Awesome! So good to know. I feel like an idiot for not buying some last year. I guess I figured it wasn't worth the trek from the far reaches of District 9 but in reality, it's amazing how a simple luxury like ice cold beer can make you feel incredible at Sasquatch. No warm beer for me this year

Yeah, it was a madhouse in there. We were right up about as close as we could get on the 21+ side. I was keeping an eye out for you guys as well.
That show was so much more than I ever even hoped it would be. Hearing a couple of Gerbils tunes made it even more special.
EDIT: And yeah, I definitely shed more than a few tears myself.

Get dry ice if you can. At Coachella I didn't have to buy ice and I still dumped out a cooler full of ice on Monday. It also made the best tasting carbonated grapes and oranges ever.

We were up fairly close on the side for under 21er's (we are both over 21 but the side for minors was easier to push through towards the front). I ended up snagging a spot on one of the benches along the wall close to the stage and stood up on it for a better view.
Did you try to go to any of the Jeff Mangum shows last year in Boston or NYC (before the more extensive US tour was confirmed to be happening)?

Nope, that was the first time we saw him. A couple people on the board saw him over on the other side of the country, but I'm not exactly sure where or when.

We ended up seeing him for the first time at one of the Boston shows last year. Since we'd never seen him and weren't entirely sure when he'd be playing again (though rumors had been swirling about a full US tour) we decided we would go if we could score tickets.
We ended up setting our alarms for 6am since tickets went on sale very early for the west coast and each tried getting them on our separate computers. Within seconds it showed that it was sold out and poor boyfriend was so sad. I can be fairly obsessive though, so instead of giving up I kept hitting refresh again and again, hoping that someone would make it all the way to the checkout and freak out at the ticket prices after taxes and fees and abandon the process. Well, it *worked* and out of nowhere I was able to get through and score 2 tickets. Phew! So we saw him play the Boston Conservatory and he drew a picture on my boyfriend's shirt after the show. And that's my Jeff Mangum story! Would be curious if anyone else on the board was at the Boston Conservatory show...

That's neat! I have a CD copy of Aeroplane that he drew a picture on for me back when he was touring with Circulatory System about twelve years ago. I didn't meet him, though, an old girlfriend got it for me when he crashed at her house.

This year, I will not forget to bring fruit along for snacking. After a while last year the protein bars and beef jerky (while wonderful) just weren't doing it for me. @hg Awesome about your Aeroplane CD! I love his doodles. @souly Thanks for the dry ice suggestion!

Carrot sticks are a great snack to bring in the venue.

Absolutely! I'll be bringing some baby carrots, grapes, clementines, cherries, and other small assorted goodies.
Last year I got incredibly addicted to the yakisoba noodles the vendors were selling inside. I don't think I ordered anything else, actually.

Can some of you Old Timers give me an idea of what is consistently available at the food concessions?
