I have a newb question  Rolleyes I hope someone will help me with.  Is it better to have credit or cash for the festival?  I looked elsewhere for the answer but have yet to find it.  Thanks for all responses  :peace!

Not very many vendors take credit cards (especially food and drink) so it's best to have cash available. Cheers

 Wave The best thing to carry is a good friend with lots of cash... LOL

I've found that a ready supply of quarters for showers, five dollar bills for beer, an ice chest full of food in camp, and a bank card are also pretty handy to carry.

Here we go again, the what you need list which omits the "15 tonne truck to bring it in".

For clarity, we're coming from England (land far away where we can still spell), by air (big metal bird shaped thing), and then by public transport (look it up on google if your not sure), hence carrying 50kg of propane (Hanks finest) for heaters bbqs etc, a 6ft chest freezer and a freshly slaughter buffallo may be impractical. Unless salegal is quite strong.

Our list of essentials is so far - money, credit cards, one clean pair of duds, and a sense of humour for getting through US Customs.

If youre not kind to us we will give you Madonna back  LOL LOL

 LOL Cheers LOL Cheers LOL Cheers

Ha ha sorry to dissapoint you Rob, but I don't have the least bit of a French accent when I speak english  :)

I might have blown my cover, but I'm gonna be so thoroughly informed in all telluridian knowledge by the time I get there (thanks to you guys  Medal) that you wont be able to tell I'm a newbie!  Wink

Ahhhh so looking forward to June...

Ah.. we had been warned that civilisation had not reached the further throws of the colonies yet but I had no idea that savagery was this prevalent.  Time to get out the fake tan and practice my "How y'all doing?"

Non, J'ai ne parle francais!
No tea at the Jailhouse, just camp coffee followed by a couple shots of Makers Mark to prime for the "Tarp Run"! But I guess the Jailhouse can put on some hot water, if we have to. All in the festivarian spirit, you know! LOL LOL LOL
