All Points West -- Miss Liberty's helpful tips of Do's and Don'ts

As the All Points West Music and Arts Festival draws near, I am going to give all of you festival goers my 2 cents in regards to the do's and don'ts of what to bring and how to behave. Remember, I'm old enough to be your great-great-great-great grandmother, so heed my advice.

Here are some crucial items to make sure you do NOT forget:

• Sunglasses
• Sun block
• Bug spray
• Comfortable shoes and clothes
• Rain coat/poncho
• Bathing suit for the Do LaB
• Money for water, food, booze, water, water, and more water
• Prescription medicine PRESCRIBED TO YOU!!!
  
  

  

Here are some items you may want to bring, but are not necessary:

• Medium sized backpack
• Cell phone
• Beach towel
• Cameras
• EMPTY water bottle
• Recreational toys (ie. footballs, frisbees)
• Cigarettes
• Lighter
• Pocket flashlight
• Stroller for infants/toddlers only

And of course, what NOT TO BRING TO APW:

• Drugs
• Alcohol
• Tents
• Professional cameras (if it has a removable lens, it is not allowed)
• Chairs
• Food
• Coolers
• Weapons
• Fireworks/explosives/pyrotechnics
• Laser pointers
• Pets
• Blankets, but you can bring a towel
• Musical instruments
• Flags
• Umbrellas
  
  
  

Security is well aware of sneaky hiding spots (cigarette cases, backpacks, chapstick containers, etc.) so please leave your special goodies at home.

I hope all of that info helps. I cannot believe the festival is less than 2 weeks away!!!

Now who's going to look after my torch for the weekend?
