Well, some venues have showers, but I'm not sure if this one does since I've never been there. The best bet is to bring plenty of clean clothes, deodorant, cologne and just do the best you can....nothing wrong with a lil raver funk...we've all been there and nobody really cares all that much. Oh....and baby wipes are a MUST! Very refreshing....especially if you keep em in the cooler for during a hot day!! AmAAAAAzing!

Thanx for the info lily and raverboi!!! I hate the smell of baby wipes, but I suppose BO is worse. But distraction/big bottle of water.......it's crazy but it just may work!!! I'ma have to bring my Axe Phoenix body wash and a HUGE water bottle, lol. I love Phoenix. It smells almost like Coolwater cologne! We are allowed to leave and come back, though, right? Cause then you could just go to a trucker gas station and they have showers there........<--- this is a crazy ass banana!!!!!

Must not sleep must warn others.
since it sounds like there's going to be a real bathroom/running water, you can also bring a wash cloth and just do a sink shower...that's usually what I do, since I hate the smell of baby wipes. It actually works pretty well - no soap, but it willl get the grunge and grime off.


we drift deeper into the sound, life goes on...
we drift deeper into the sound, feeling strong...
bring it on...

Is this for sure the location cause I have also heard it is at the Kankakee Fair Grounds....CONFUSED!! I can't seem to find any information to support either.
Here's the myspace with a few pics of the venue. This is going to be WAY different than what I expected!! There are straight up buildings....not outdoors like I was thinking! Beyond that, there are vendors selling REAL FOOD....not just bottled water and redbull. This sounds like it will be a first time experience of anything like this for me....and it will probably be much bigger than most 3 days I've been to. It'd be pretty sweet if they had our table in an air-conditioned building!!! Yeah, prob not.
