i camped at lawson hill my first year. we got up before most and we were in town by 9 or 10. we would plan ahead and pick a set to head to camp to gather our warmer items, and head back to town.
i loved having my camelback and was able to tie sweatshirts and pack layers in there. there is a water station inside the music/vending area that is free and we filled up often (and just before we planned to head back to camp so when the zulu thirst wakes you up in the middle of the night you roll over and sip off the camelback's nipple
). i drink at least two 70 0z camelbacks a day and seem to stay well hydrated and wake feeling pretty good
i bring a sarong thingy that is light and it can be stuffed into the pack for sitting on etc, HATS ARE A MUST!! the sun sucks the energy out of you from the top of your head
i do not carry a chair because i never end up in the tarp line, and we move around a lot finding friends.
don't forget a tarp/rain fly for the tent for the afternoon showers!
