Every time I go to one of these types of festivals I use local landmarks to find my tent. This year I'm considering being the one who brings the landmark.
My idea so far includes a red (or blue) strobe light, 2 - 6 giant party balloons, a Canadian flag, about 40ft of rope, and a mini-helium tank. It originally called for a string of Christmas lights, but that idea fizzled out when I had to figure out how to power them.
If I actually get this idea off the ground (literally) and you happen to see it, drop by for a beer. Also, if I do make this happen and you see anybody fucking with it, please kindly kick them in the face, ok?

oh yeah. If you're bringing a landmark-esque anything, what are your plans?
sweet spray-painted VW Van? huge flagpole with a pirate flag? inflatable "friend" standing on the roof of your car? what?

It's so funny, every year all the Canadians fly Canadian flags over their campsites thinking it'll help them find their way back after the show. It's like they never realize the campground is literally going to be a sea of Canadian flags. You're gonna need the helium balloons and strobe lights, and if I were you I wouldn't skimp on the Christmas lights either.

I have a flag our old roommates made when they drove their van into a ditch. It's a green bedsheet that says "We're Fucked!!!" in big black letters. So like if you see that flag stop by and smoke a joint with us.

I've seen helium balloons work before, but I've also seen how windy it can be at the Gorge. Flags + flagpoles are the way to go imo. Any flag is better than no flag, but gramma is right: using a generic flag almost defeats the purpose. Either make your own or pick one that is unlikely to be repeated. Last year we flew the BC and NS flags together and had no problem.

dontoro put either a booby trap or a protective spell on his flag. Now that's dedication.
There a reason you so aggro, don?

Look at it this way homeboy. I didn't post pictures, but I described what MY flag looks like. If YOUR flag goes missing, just go find MY flag and we can talk about it.
Or: we turn this into a ruthless, campground-wide game of capture the flag. We don't have to be enemies; we can be rivals!
Also lighten up.

Boobytrap yes, protective spell... That's a good call.
To be fair the aggro on the other thread is two-fold, one for being a prick to my boy Black, and two because the thread is to talk about the band and music, not to bash on people as you were so clearly doing to begin with... And calling me out on tourette's, is like the pot calling the kettle black.

Besides I've always been an advocate for more passion in responses, there's no reason to pussyfoot around bs.
