First Timer Needs Advice

My husband and I are going to the 4/18 concert in TX - our first one! I need advice please! I'm guessing the info I need is already on this forum if someone could direct me to it. We want to tailgate but have no idea how to go about it. I saw the info on the Feeding Frenzy, but I'm guessing that's probably sold out? Is there a beginner's guide to tailgating and attending a concert? I have the hula skirt, clothes, etc. Is it true that once you park you can't leave and park again without paying/ We are driving in Sat. AM and had hoped to do a bit of tailgating before checking into the Westin. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!!!!! Thank you!

from what I understand no you can't leave without paying again - Have you thought about guaranteeing your room @ Westin for a late arrival?

Do what Santa says - join FFF we'll show you how to tailgate!!!! We LOVE tailgate virgins!!!

Thanks! I'll sign us up for the FFF! I think our room is guaranteed - I'll doublecheck. You know I could spend hours reading all these posts! Love the top 10 lists! Try to remember back to your first tailgate and advise me if there is anything I should make sure I bring - what's a good time to arrive - just any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Water. Pace yourself.....

b-12 (or complex)
go as early as possible.. bring a camera..
AND.. IMHO.. a very important thing.. get a rubbermaid container for your
wallet and cell phone.. slip it in your bag, you can still hear the phone..
but if you get near the slide.. the hot tub.. the pool.. the dunk tank..
an open ice chest.... the phone is safe..

AND the wallet...
sunscreen, chairs....
pace yourself..

Welcome newbie!!!

All you need to know is that the answer to EVERYTHING is ......Boobies!!!!!

Slide, hot tub, pool? At a tailgate? Wow! Rubbermaid container, water, pacing yourself, all good advice. So I'm guessing a swimsuit is handy?? Surely there are port -a- potties or trees??? Thanks!

My wife and I are coming down from KS and can not wait. This will be our first time as well. These boards have helped quite a bit. We are planning on doing the FFF! Looking forward to a great time.
