Question for the veterans (this will be my first time):

-Do we need to get a shuttle pass? If not, what are our options? We will be coming from Perdido Key.

Thanks! So pumped for this weekend!

Same. We parked on the side of E. 1st and 2nd Avenue all three days last year. You may have to walk 5 or 6 blocks, but we never had a problem finding parking.

16 oz beer was $6

Only place to get mixed drinks was at the Hangout Restaurant and the bar behind it at the Kids Stage. Unless you are an OT Baller and rolling VIP.

They also sold some pre-mixed margarita/daiquiri type thingies at the beer tents that were liek $8 or $9

I wouldn't bring in anything bigger than a backpack the size of a jansport you would have brought to school.

Lots of people here trying to unload three day passes. Going rate is $250-275 apiece. People should be able to get one if they didnt purchase one prior to selling out.
