Since the festival is nearly here  Cheers my wife and I are in full fledged preperation mode. We are putting the final touches on gathering our equipment and replacing old worn equipment. I have a question about real estate in townpark. Is it wise for my wife and I to pack a small sunshade to set up next to our tent or is that not needed do to space limitations.

 Wave  Shade is good, says the "veteran festivarian". God made tarps and twine and tennis balls to help us make shade. Shade is good and thus, verily so, the gods looked down on us all and declared 

Flower

Shade is good

Flower

Bring it

 Cheers Cheers Cheers

Some areas of Town Park are shadier than others, so as Jerry so eloquently put it... "bring it".
If you don't need it, you can just stash it aside. Thumbs Up

Or share it if someone else has not heeded Jerry's words!

I'm with Auntie Hope on this one - bring some sort of waterproof sunshade (ie, an EZ-Up) and you'll be set for whatever climate the Gods bestow upon you.

Be sure you stake it down properly (angled rather than straight down) or it will end up being a big kite! EEK!

One thing I recognized last year is that my gear which I thought was durable enough didn't turn out to be. I had to upgrade the tent and sleeping bag. Plus I learned real quick about proper layers. So anyone out there that hasn't been yet. Take a good look at your gear and clothes and say hmmmmmmm.

I think Daniela posted a great layering system that she dresses by at festivals... maybe she can elaborate.
