Or just find yourself a giant sombrero.

some folks can make that work... I am not one of them. It's a beat-to-hell Air M'ville cap for me I am afraid. and SPF 4k

put my nametag, beer coozies and camera in a little pile....

at this rate, maayyybee i'll be packed by the time i have to leave

Sitting next to me in my office is my cooler, lawn chairs, grill, tailgate bucket, propane tanks, leis, etc.

I'm hoping to be semi-ready this time and just throw the stuff in the car in the morning. Although that hangover from hanging with Mac and the rest of the bunch at Margaritaville the night before is something I'm trying to avoid.

Since it won't get dark until later, using my sombrero as your beacon to navigate won't actually work till around 7:30-8ish. But I am good for using after the show to find your way back to the tailgate.

i can only pack what i can carry onto the plane. that's usually not a problem for me, but i'd like to pack a few beach towels and a couple of soft sided coolers.

my flight leaves so soon after the sw counter opens, that i really don't want to have to check anything. the sw counter and security is a zoo at that time of morning. i'd hate to be still trying to check bags when i'm supposed to be lining up.

but i'm pretty sure i can get them into a carry on....

Wait a sec...the BD's in Lakeland? I walked right by there with my daughter on my way to Cork and Olive. It looked like a great time! I didn't realize they did karaoke there.

Since I'm local, I'll be packing some extra chairs and will set up near the Tiki Bar guys. I'm sure there will be plenty of lounging space for those who can't pack too much since they're flying. I'm on the lookout for some new tailgate chairs(orange and blue) also, so I'm sure we'll have plenty of seating space.

Also, if I can get some help setting up our tailgate canopy, I might be packing that. We'll see if it fits in the car. It's not bad to set up, but a pain to take down after partaking in many adult beverages. We have lots of shade in the BN tailgate spot, but it never hurts to have more.

we were thinking about that too... picking up some cheap-asss chairs, just incase we need to sit a minute....
