Today is the Day

You're awake. You're excited. In less than 24 hours you're going to be having the time of your life. Seeing the people you've been idolizing for what seems like forever. Don't rush it though. I know you want to get there early and be the first in but make sure you eat something first. You need that energy or else you could seriously get sick. Same goes for water. If you don't drink enough through out the day you can easily become dehydrated.

Now once you have arrived to your destination and are let in, search for where your chosen artists and bands will be playing and at what time. Most festivals will have a list set up with all the set times and the stages. It will be rather large and if you get confused on where it's at that's okay. The majority of venues will provide maps while you can also ask someone who's working there because lets be honest there will be plenty of them rushing about.

So, you've found the set times. It is now time to go and explore. You'll want to get familiar with your venue so you'll know where you're going when it comes time to watch the first performance. Note where the merchandise tents are if you're into that so you can get some souvenirs and sometimes the band or artist will be having meet and greets at the tent later on in the day. Also try to remember where the food and water stands are because those are a 'most go to'.

Its time now. The first set. I'd advise that you arrive about ten minutes early so you can get in close to the front. Now beware that if you do choose to be front row that there are many good and bad things that could happen. Like for example crowd surfers.  People will be coming from the back of the crowd in and if you don't pay attention you could get kicked in the head or even have someone dropped on you. But there is still good that comes from it. You'll be able to see your favorite band or artist up close and personal. Which don't we all love?

Now as the day goes on you'll slowly form a routine. Watch set. Drink water. Find shade. Check time. See that you're running late. Run to next stage. Repeat. You'll keep doing this until slowly you'll realize that your at the last set. You look around. All the tents are coming down as well as the stages. The majority of the venue has cleared out except for a few hundred people. You're disappointed that its over but you can happily leave with a satisfied smile.
