Let the crapshoot begin!!!

I'm recommending wheels in motion at 11:30, leaving Lowe's parking lot and heading to Critterville Grove for 'palooza III.

In 2008 - we ended up rolling out of Lowe's around 12:20 and were in the last row of cars let into the Premier lot; therefore we were parked right next to the grove.

In 2009 - we were on our way at noon, and SP was the last vehicle let into the Premier lot, C-Dawg, Sanjuro et al began hauling stuff down to the grove while the caravan vehicles stayed in line and ended up getting parked in the first section of General Parking, from where our candyarses had to go back and forth hauling stuff.

With that history, it really does seem safe to say CRAPSHOOT! But to have a starting point, caravan 2010 leaves at 11:30....

Feel free to discuss... hello? hello?

im pretty psyched for this, its been a long time coming! thanks for any info!

Last year we used some window signs to what seemed to be decent success.. does anyone have some dayglow paper they could print these on?



the image is 11x8.5 and should print 1:1 landscape.

Space is running tight and I could use the extra storage for cooler, pop-up tent, etc. I can't recall ever seeing any at previous concerts, am just hoping the parking staff won't have any problems with the extra 1.5 to 2 feet in length. Anyone have previous experience with this?
Here's an example of what I'm talking about: http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Car ... /6500.html
