The Flaming Lips are just about the only band all weekend that I'll be getting down in the pit for. This will be my 4th time seeing them, hoping to touch the hamster ball this time. This will be my 13th or 14th lips show...I got a fingernail on the hamsterball last summer, but that's the closest. I reaaalllllyyyy want to this time, too!

What kind of work do you do? I'm a wildlife biologist. Basically, someone who never outgrew playing in the mud. ;D I'm also music obsessed, and food obsessed.

We've got a truck, so can bring multiple coolers. I work out in the field in the summers, and so camp over 3hrs from a store for 10 days at a time. I've got food down to a science. We can keep perishables ok for 10 days in 80+ weather as long as we have shade.
A tarp or other, silver side out, will make your ice last twice as long.

First off, all I have to say regarding perishables is block ice, not cubes! Also, wraps, not soft bread, it'll get all squished and gross.
I'm already putting food aside. I'm food psycho. We're planning on fish tacos the first night (frozen tuna steaks), and then I've frozen buffalo burgers, plain hamburgers & blue cheese burgers. mornings I've got eggs & bacon, will boil potatoes so I can make home fries, planning on crab & regular eggs benedict with grilled tomatoes & basil. Plenty of beer & 2 bottles of homemade wine. To bring in with us, I've made sunflower seed granola bars, cookies, will have jerky, cheese, dried sausage like pepperoni or sopressata, sardines v& crackers, carrot/celery/cauliflower pieces to snack on, probably more.
I'm figuring a yummy breakfast, and good burgers on the way into the venue. snacks once we get in there.

We've missed the last bunch of Sasquatches...last one was the epic hailstorm in 2006. What I'm trying to figure out...if they are trading tickets for festival length wristbands, how will they be able to enforce the no re-entry from the venue to the campground and back? I don't think I was ever crankier than that night, cold even for my raingear, sick, pms'd and crampy, and waiting for Ben Harper to finish the set-that-wouldn't-die and the Flaming Lips to come on. I think I tried to mentally make his head explode at one point.

Need some help here. Whenever the Flaming Lips announce a show, do they always immediately announce a special show (i.e. Soft Bulletin in its entirety), or have there sometimes been instances where a show will first be announced as a regular Flaming Lips show then later they'll decide "HEY! Let's do Soft Bulletin in its entirety." or "HEY Let's set up 4 stages at every corner of the venue and try to do Zaireeka in its entirety." I ask because though I am perfectly fine and content with a normal Flaming Lips set at Hopscotch, I do wonder if there's a possibility it will possibly get upgraded to a "special" show. Being only a casual fan of Flaming Lips (for the pure reason that I haven't gotten a chance to fully immerse myself in all they have to offer), I feel like you guyz would know better. From the flaming lips site, all soft bulletin shows are being listed as soft bulletin shows from the outset. Hopscotch appears to be a straight show. But it will be epic. Sasquatch will be my 13th lips show...And, if you're set on a soft bulletin show... there are 2 soft bulletin shows in May in Atlanta, GA... flaminglips.hoop.la/displayForumTopic/content/192266270434319546I'm psyched for Soft Bulletin at sasquatch...as I have blacked out that entire portion of the NYE show this year. A little pharmaceutical mixing that wasn't in my best interest
