Hey quick question. Does anyone have any good suggestions for food that's NOT going to spoil and still taste good sitting in my backpack all day? Depends on if you like Peanut Butter, the perfect festival snack. Yum. People post frequently about fruit, breakfast bars, power bars, open bars, that sort of thing.

I was thinking of PB and J sandwiches but I'm worried about the jam spoiling.
Oh, I'm not sure if this has been asked yet but has anyone had any food at Sasquatch that they have particularly liked?

It's been asked many times, and the general consensus on the board is the deep fried feces on a stick it the most popular, but it costs nine dollars.

Hi. This is my frist year of going to sas. I am wondering if tap water is available inside. I don't really want to be paying $3/bottle inside. the ticket was already 'spensive enough.

Tap water is plentiful - until the water stops working of course, which has happened from time to time.

so this 21 wrist band that I have been hearing about. is it just like the festival wrist band but a different color of something, or a seperate wrist band all together? Does it replace having to show ID (if you don't look like your 8 of course)? and could i not just get some good samaritans to use my tickets to get my 21 year old wrist bands?
oh! and is there three wrist bands, or is there a wrist band for the whole weekend?

There are no festival wristbands. On a daily basis, you can show ID in exchange for one wristband in order to buy booze...
The only other wristbands are for those in premiere camping, and are seperate from the booze wristbands.

Well, when you show your ID, they put the wristband on for you, so good luck with getting one off your buddy, and on you without it being blatantly obvious that it's been tampered with. I'm sure there are ways, but to be honest, I would just smuggle your booze in instead.

exactly my plan untill I read a previous post on this thread about someone who was caught drinking without the wristband and kicked out on the last night. (guess he only missed Ben Harper but still...got me scared) So that is why I'm inquiring about this wristband.

Dude, just sneak in your own booze and don't be too obvious about drinking it. Don't be too subtle, either, cuz when people do that they aren't actually that subtle.
What I do every year is put gin in a plastic "water bottle" and glue the plastic ring back to the cap so it looks sealed. This is probably more trouble than is necessary since I've never had anyone check the seals on my water bottles, real or not, but at this point it's part of the tradition. Then I bring factory sealed bottles of tonic in, again with no issues. Duty free gin and tonics all weekend!

Uhhhmmmm... you don't. If you decide to buy Sprite or another mixer inside that would work, otherwise you'd have to bring ice in yourself. Doable, but more trouble than it's worth to me. If you ask nicely maybe Adam Zacks will let you borrow his heart.

In regards to the 15$ pay at the door camping, I am arriving Saturday night pretty late (11pm) and must get into the venue.
Are gates open and will somebody be there for us to pay and get in?

They don't take kindly to you grabbing ice out of their giant coolers either. So, you're pretty much stuck mixing vodka and water or paying $5 for a bottle of cold pop. Was this the case last year? Which says to me, "We know people bring in alcohol, but we'll screw with a 500% markup when they need mix" I thought I remembered bringing in coke for mix previously.

I thought I remembered bringing in coke for mix previously. Their written policy has always been (or at least since 2005) that you can't bring in any liquid except "personal size factory sealed water bottles." This means no 4L jugs of water, and no juice or soda of any sort. That being said, the last few years I've brought in tonic water (which as we know is actually soda) and had no problems. I don't even hide it; I just walk in with a liter of it in my hand. I've also seen the bag check people remove juice tetra packs from peoples' bags, make sure they're sealed, and give them back. By this logic Coke should also not be an issue.
