Hey Sunny,
Sunny:yeah Vanessa.
Vanessa:What do you call two best friends that love music festivals?
Sunny:Hmm, I guess you'd call them Festies
Clark:music festivals, friendship festies.
Vanessa:We're gonna start off with some festival news, a new segment. We're gonna try have semi-often, depending on how much festival news there is out there. This one was a big one last week. Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium was supposed to start July 18th through the 20th. It's two weekends which I actually didn't even know. I didn't even realize how much of a monster this thing is.
Sunny:It's the biggest EDM festival.
Vanessa:Realize how much of a monster this thing is. It's the biggest edm. I know it's. I know it's the biggest edm festival but like size wise.
Vanessa:Oh yeah, I didn't realize. There's like 16 stages, 400 000 people like crazy, but the main stage, which is usually like their big, what do you even call it? It's just like a masterpiece I think is what I would call it caught fire. Some news articles were saying it was like something gone wrong with their testing of the fireworks. The whole stage was basically destroyed, which is so sad. They worked for so long on that stage. So that was on July 16th, the Wednesday before people were supposed to start arriving.
Sunny:I think they started arriving on Thursday it was so hard to watch that like my heart just sank.
Vanessa:I couldn't believe what I was seeing I know big props to this festival and the organizers and everything they worked day and night to, yeah, not only get rid of all the rubble but make it structurally sound so that people could still be there and find their exit routes and paths. You know, on the back end of things, what a logistical nightmare, but they pulled off a miracle and they had a new stage brought in, all thanks to metallica. Metallica had their stage from like their european leg of the tour that's coming up. I love this yeah, yeah it was.
Vanessa:It was in storage in austria and they airlifted it there overnight. Wow, and that's what they used for their main stage. Isn't that crazy? That's amazing that they can pull shit like that off I wonder how did that get started?
Sunny:that's what I was thinking like who has that connection?
Vanessa:yeah, did you know that? What? No, that metallica no.
Sunny:Metallica. No, no, you didn't no idea. That's incredible. So it went like it brought them closer to their audience because it kind of cut out all the bells and whistles of their show, you know, and it was just like them, and the audience and this stage that they weren't prepared for.
Vanessa:You know yeah so that's kind of cool. Big thanks to metallica for that, yeah, and the organizers and everybody, you know everybody involved that they were able to pull that off. That's so cool. On a sadder note, though, there was a 35-year-old woman that died that first weekend. The initial report is saying that it was a drug-related death, which is always really sad.
Sunny:Yeah, it's hard to hear when people lose their lives at these things. Yeah. So condolences to their family, hear when people lose their lives at these things.
Vanessa:Yeah, um, so that's that. I didn't know that either. To their family. Yeah, in other festival news we put out our bonnaroo recap episode literally the day after they announced that it will be returning next year. Yes, we will be back on the farm on june 11th to the 14th. However, there are going to be some changes. Some of the changes are the campsites that were located in the area that were the most affected by the flood will not be in use, so they are going to cap it at a smaller size and there will be no entry on tuesdays. Everything will begin on wednesday. They will have a kickoff thursday evening at the what stage, which is the main stage with an epic welcome party, epic.
Vanessa:all other center stages will be programmed in full, starting Friday through Sunday. And then the when in the Woods UFO stage will be making its landing inside Centauru. This will take place of the Infinity stage and feature late night DJs and dance parties. The when in the Woods space will continue to serve as a relaxation haven in Outeroo and the caliber of artists you expect from us will remain very similar to previous years rip infinity stage I'm just happy that it's happening.
Vanessa:Yeah, I will take it, no matter what. I'll most likely 90 be there if I can get tickets in the ambulance in the ambulance.
Sunny:So I'm excited about that oh, do you have to do rv camping with that thing?
Vanessa:no, because, remember, ed asked one of the ladies that was letting us in who's like so could we have brought, like, an ambulance in here? Like would you have let us in to the ga, whatever she was, like you could bring a spaceship for all I care. No, I don't know. Ed was like I knew it, because the whole time we were like no, we can't bring the ambulance, we'd have to get rv parking, we didn't buy that pass and blah blah blah.
Vanessa:Well, now you know, now we know, and we will definitely be there in 2026 with Wanda the Wambulance. I don't know if that's the official name, but that's just what we call it for now.
Sunny:Yeah, that was the first time I've heard that. Wanda the Wambulance.
Vanessa:It's almost your favorite time of the year. It's the most wonderful time outside lands I feel like I can't say that it's mine because I haven't been in the last couple years, but I'm excited for you all year.
Sunny:We know it's coming and then all of a sudden it's like oh shit, it's here. Bam clark.
Vanessa:He's so cute, he's getting clothes on and stuff online, oh I feel like I never put that much thought about my outside lands outfits I did when I was fit, but I don't not anymore give me some sweats and t-shirt, I'm good yeah, the picture that we have for our actual um like our cover, not our cover.
Sunny:oh yeah, we're all dressed up Our album art.
Vanessa:Yeah, you're wearing like a dress. Yeah, oh my God, I would never wear that. I used to wear like rompers to Coachella and stuff. Yeah, I can't imagine doing that now.
Sunny:Yeah, but yeah, for Outside Lands. We've always talked about how we were going to put out an episode that's like a survival guide type thing. Since we've been so many times, this will be my 12th year no, this will be your 13th year lucky number 13 this will be my 13th year and, vanessa, this will be your. No, you're not going this year I'm not going.
Vanessa:You've been how many?
Sunny:times seven, seven yeah, that's a lot, as we're recording this outside lands is in two weeks and we decided to ask some of our friends who are going for the first time. We put it up on our instagram if anybody had any questions, and so we thought we would answer those questions for everybody, and some of these are very basic questions too yeah so for like first time outside land attendees, outside land goers, first time outside land attendees Outside land goers, first time outside land goers Attendees and also first time festival goers.
Vanessa:So we had some really basic questions about festivals in general. Yeah, we have some answers for you guys.
Sunny:Starting off with some basics how many stages are there?
Vanessa:Well, you said that. The website said seven. We have panhandle, sutro, soma, twin peaks and lands end.
Sunny:For the very first time, they're gonna have the debose triangle stage, and then we have dolores and soma stage and casa bacardi has artists too.
Vanessa:Yeah, so, has artists too. Yeah, so seven or eight stages, that's what we'll land on. One of the other questions we got was how do we?
Sunny:know who plays where. Well, hopefully, by the time this airs, the set times will have come out, but they use a grid style schedule that shows who's playing on which stage, where and when and we would recommend getting the app.
Vanessa:That way you can set your own schedule. You can select all the artists you want to see and it'll tell you what stage they're on, and then it can also send you reminders. I think you can set it to how early before you want to be notified, but it'll tell you so-and-so, starting at this stage in 15 minutes. Okay, another question we have is what if I get tired?
Sunny:sunny, I'm tired not what if when? Yeah, there will be times you're gonna get tired. That's totally okay. Make sure to take breaks. You don't have to be in the crowd all the time. Some of my favorite moments are when I'm not packed in the crowd and when I'm just taking a break and chilling alone or with one other person Sitting in a circle with your friends, just talking, yeah, playing.
Vanessa:Quack DiLeo, we have done that a few times, huh.
Sunny:Listen to your body. It's a marathon, not a sprint. What time should I get there and what time should I leave?
Vanessa:Well, we always recommend getting there early. We said this many times. Not only do you not have to deal with traffic and the long lines getting in, especially if it's your first time at a festival or at Outside Lands it gives you time to explore the grounds, get to know where all the stages are, find your water, find your bathrooms, food, the lockers if you're going to get a locker all that important stuff. So maybe you don't have to get there at noon like us crazies do, but I would say before three, maybe two, the music starts at noon ish right so, yeah, there'll be stuff going on for you to do if you want to really dive into information on getting there and leaving.
Vanessa:Our last episode is specifically about the logistics of getting there and leaving, but Vanessa pretty much got all of it yeah, and then in terms of leaving, I would say, if you don't really care that much about the headliner, then leave 15, 20 minutes early so that you skip the rush, yeah, of the bottleneck, of trying to get out of the tunnel or just in general.
Sunny:But also if you really want to see the entire headliner, stay and watch the whole thing and then just stay, stay in the festival grounds until a lot of people have left yeah that's our biggest recommendation, because once you're outside of the park, the city streets are wild, so we always stay until they start kicking us out, and then we make our way to either entrance if you're seeing a headliner, if you're in the middle of the crowd or towards the front, I would always, 10 minutes before it's going to end, make my way to the back of the crowd, because it's difficult when everyone's leaving at the same time. But if you're having a good time, fuck it, enjoy it and do you, but do whatever you want. Prepare, prepare to be in a sea of people, a happy sea of people, but that's true.
Vanessa:If it's your first time, too, it'd be cool to experience going through the tunnel yeah lands end on the south side of the park and just singing with the crowd through the tunnel yeah, that is a great experience to have.
Sunny:Yeah, if you're not claustrophobic. What else do we have here? We have. What are some of the best things to do besides music?
Vanessa:I will say I'm guilty of not exploring a whole bunch there, because there's usually always somebody we want to see. But there's so many things you can do besides the music. You can take a visit to grasslands.
Vanessa:Yeah, you've done grasslands, yeah we got there really we got there really early and we headed over to grasslands. If that's your thing, they've got so many cool cannabis stuff over there. You can get pre-rolls. You can get cannabis drinks. Also, if you're a big wino, they've got wine lands. Yeah, you can go check out all those wine wine I was gonna say wineries they've got wineries in there. Wineries in there. No, you can go check out all the different wines that they offer yeah there's also sorry, you go.
Sunny:I was just gonna say you heard it here, I'm going to go into grasslands this year.
Vanessa:And if you don't I'm just kidding, If you don't, you're going to let me name your firstborn child.
Sunny:Okay, I totally trust you with that. There's also the cocktail magic too. We're sticking with the alcohol theme. And did you say beer lands for all the bureaus? No, that's not a thing, there's beer lands. Any of the brands that have booths set up there. They'll give out freebies, like white claw.
Vanessa:Yeah, I've gotten a huge koozie from white claw before. I still have it koozie, a koozie for a big tall can. Those are hard to find. I've also gotten sunglasses, and at grasslands I feel like some of those brand activation things inside of grasslands. Sometimes they have like the spin the wheel.
Sunny:Sometimes you can get a free joint from there I don't know, they might have that if you're into that sort of thing I'm just kidding a lot of these are located on the walk from the polo field to the twin peak stage.
Sunny:Those two places I just mentioned are a completely opposite ends of outside lands. And then also, you know, what they're bringing back this year that I'm stoked about is the outsider art. You know, I did see that for the longest time they had artists painting murals towards the back of the polo fields, and then they just stopped doing that, but they're bringing it back this year. So make sure to stop and look at those artists, because it's really neat to see them just painting this beautiful artwork in real time.
Vanessa:There's a ton of other stuff we're not mentioning, but make sure you go and explore. You'll find stuff to do.
Sunny:You can get married there also.
Vanessa:Oh yeah, City Hall.
Sunny:Yeah.
Vanessa:You can go watch somebody get married if you're not going to be the one getting married.
Sunny:Yeah, okay, maybe we should do that this year too. Okay, I think that pretty much covers the basic questions that we got. Yeah, yeah, let's move on to food and drink. All right?
Vanessa:first question can you bring in food?
Sunny:yes, you can't. Outside Lands is one of the only festivals in my experience that lets you bring in food, so take advantage of that. Bring in your sandwiches, yeah, snacks. Just no open containers with liquid in it. They'll dump it.
Vanessa:That brings us to our next question Can we bring in water?
Sunny:No is the answer to that question. Just bring an empty water bottle to fill or hydration pack. Can you sneak in alcohol? Yes, we've seen people sneak in alcohol and we've also seen people get their alcohol dumped at the gate.
Vanessa:We used to try and sneak in alcohol in, like those um sunscreen bottles yeah, okay.
Sunny:so I had one, but mine came with a seal, the foil seal. So the person checking my bag opened it and I was like oh shit. And I was like please don't take my sunscreen. They took it at bottle rock and I got so burnt and she was like oh, we would never do that to you here, and closed it and put it back in my bag.
Vanessa:Allegedly there's these things called slick shots that you can get on amazon. What are they? They're just little plastic pouches, oh that you can fill with three ounces of like a shot oh, and then heat seal it and stick them in your boobs. Allegedly, allegedly, I don't know but no, you cannot bring in your own alcohol.
Sunny:No. Next question what are some good food recommendations?
Vanessa:Vanessa, you have any there is a list of 100 plus I think I counted 101, 100 plus food vendors that are going to be there All Bay Area local food vendors for you to try. So the choices are endless. It's gonna be great. Some of the ones that stood out to me are curry up now, which is like indian street food. I love their food. Beanie's kitchen is the one that we saw at mill valley music festival. They have the momos so good.
Vanessa:Would recommend trying those palmettos. Acai bowls had me in a chokehold when I first moved back to the bay area. I think I would have one like once or twice a week for like months. So those are some very good, top-notch acai bowls from palmettos. There's so many other ones. I know sunny has a few that she likes I have one.
Sunny:Oh, I mean I just put respectable bird that also was at mill valley right yeah chicken tenders, sandwiches was that the place with the really good burger? Yes their burgers are so good yeah, and they also have vegan options too.
Vanessa:So there's that oh yeah, plenty of vegan options for you vegans. I remember one of my very first years I got a donut burger which was a burger as donuts for the buns and it was the best burger I think I'd ever had at the time. I don't know who that vendor is. If you can find them, get one if they're even there.
Sunny:But little pro tip though if you're gonna buy food and don't want to wait in line, I would grab something before four yeah, good, call those lines get ridiculous after four let's see, did we answer everything for food and drink? Yes, okay, drink.
Vanessa:Yes, okay, moving on to what to bring and where.
Sunny:First question Should I pack a change of clothes?
Vanessa:Well, the weather in San Francisco is very unpredictable. We usually like to wear layers. We don't necessarily bring a change of clothes, so a long sleeve t-shirt, a sweater.
Sunny:I would definitely do a jacket, because your day is going to be cycling through putting your jacket on and taking it off, because not only the weather, but just walking around, being in a crowd, standing outside a crowd. So I recommend a jacket as opposed to a pullover, because you'll be taking it off and putting it back on a lot.
Vanessa:That's literally always our biggest complaint.
Sunny:Complaint is like just put, I'm cold, put on five minutes later, fucking I'm hot yeah, off, on, off on check it on, check it off, as I would say I guess if you do want to bring a change of clothes because you won't feel comfortable wearing layers around, they do have lockers. You can get a locker or bring a clear backpack and stick your clothes in there should I bring a towel, slash blanket.
Vanessa:I mean, yeah, if you want to bring a towel to sit on, bring a towel, but I mean just a blanket or a picnic blanket, because you will find downtime where you want to sit and because a lot of the times it gets cold and foggy, maybe the ground will be a little wet or people spill their beers and stuff like that. So, yeah, definitely bring a blanket to sit on, one you don't care about. Yeah, or buy one there. They're kind of expensive, but you can get a cool outside lands one and they last forever they really do next question what's the weather like?
Vanessa:expect for it to be cold for sure at night, but even though it is san francisco, it can get pretty hot like that one day. We decided to all wear onesies on sunday and it turned out to be the hottest day of the weekend of the year. Check the weather the weekend of that morning, see what it says yeah, and go from there, bring a hair tie definitely bring a hair tie or a claw clip our next question.
Sunny:Lockers, you want to take that?
Vanessa:yeah, I've actually never got a locker, but they're very handy. Yeah, you can buy a locker for the weekend and it's an 8 by 12 by 18 locker. They come with a universal phone charger and unlimited access during the festival hours. You can even leave stuff there overnight if it's a three-day locker and it's $75.89.23 with fees dope. I think that's big enough to fit you and your friends stuff.
Sunny:So maybe just get one for your group it's good if you have merch you want to protect, if you want to buy a poster or something, yeah Cool. Our next category vibes and headspace.
Vanessa:What if I get overwhelmed?
Sunny:It can definitely happen. There's a lot going on, there's a lot of stimulation. I would say, let your group know how you're feeling and we mentioned this before. But it's okay to take a break. If you're comfortable to go on your own, go for it. But I would say, make sure to pick a clear meeting spot for later, for the future. And, yeah, give yourself permission to slow down. Find a quiet spot, grab a snack, watch people. It's okay to step back and reset. Yes, how do I deal?
Vanessa:with social anxiety. While festivals are a great way to meet new people, it's okay to just kind of stick to your group and just have fun with your group or with your one other friend that you're going with.
Sunny:Yeah, it's your experience to have and the pressure is off.
Vanessa:Don't feel pressure to make friends. If it's a lot for you to just even be there, then just stick to your group. Have a good time, vibe into the music by yourself or with your friends, it's okay.
Sunny:I'm here for the music man.
Vanessa:Yeah, okay, I'm not sure I like big crowds. What do I do?
Sunny:Big crowds are not for everyone but yeah, I can get packed. Especially after 5 pm Outside lands gets pretty crowded, but it's not like wall to wall chaos. There's plenty of space to step back and reset. I like to just take a second and look up at the trees and remind myself where I am in beautiful Golden Gate Park, and it kind of just grounds me.
Vanessa:We would go with a huge group of people and there was a few people in our group that didn't like crowds. So for a lot of the artists that some of us wanted to go into the crowd for, like half of us would go in and then the rest of us would sit in the back. What kind of watch all of our stuff? Yeah, if you're okay with doing that, kicking back that's a good strategy, for sure.
Sunny:Do you have any favorite spots at Outsidelands where you go? Take a break.
Vanessa:Favorite spots. I guess it depends on what stage we're at, Because at Sutro you can always go sit up on the hill. That's a good one. At Land's End, the farther you go back, the more space there is for you to sit down. So you can sit down in the back and still enjoy the artists or stand at the picnic tables.
Vanessa:Yeah, grasslands would probably be a good place to go to because it's kind of secluded. Okay, there's tables back there and stuff where you can just like chill and sit not necessarily partake in the grass lands activities. Woodsy areas are good places to go and get away from the crowds and relax.
Sunny:Let's see Next. What if I want to take drugs but I've never done it before and I'm bringing my sister? What do I do? Whoa, that was specific. Yeah, I mean, we're not going to ever, you know, promote on here doing any illegal sort of substance. They're dangerous. But the question is, what if I want to take drugs but I've never done it before and I bring in my sister? What do I do? Okay, vanessa has three of them.
Vanessa:I don't have any, so I'll let you take this, I would say first make sure that they're okay with you doing them around them. Yeah, communicate Communication is important. But also I would say if you've never done them before and they're not down, then don't do it. Yeah, I would recommend doing them with somebody that's experienced and can tell you what to expect and can help you through it in case something goes wrong.
Sunny:Yeah, I know, like are they older than you? Are they younger? What's the dynamic here? There's so many like it depends type of questions.
Vanessa:You know the last thing you want to do is ruin someone else's experience by having them take care of you yeah, so it's a good point. I would proceed with caution on that and just talk about it beforehand. Don't spring it on them. Day of yeah or after you've swallowed it guess what that's good advice that's a hard one. On that same note, make sure that whatever you're taking is safe. Make sure you're testing it.
Vanessa:There's a lot of sketchy stuff out there please find fentanyl test strips and carry some narcan just in case and if you see a booth that's given out narcan, get some if you don't do drugs, it would be a good idea to take some anyways, because you never know when someone might drop in front of you and you'll have to use it. So let's proceed with caution on that one next, before and after the festival.
Sunny:Let's see first question we have here what to do pre slash, post festival?
Vanessa:day of make sure you eat a good, balanced breakfast.
Sunny:Yep the end. What am I, a nutritionist, make?
Vanessa:sure you eat a good, balanced breakfast and I don't know, pre-game, pre-game, hard, I'm just kidding.
Sunny:What's it do before the Fellsview Pre game?
Vanessa:Postfest, postfest. Now, if a whole day of music festival and standing on your feet was not enough for you, there are so many afters, afters. Look at me, what am I? Young kid.
Sunny:After parties Are you going to go to the afters?
Vanessa:I was writing after parties'm gonna go to the afters. I was writing after parties. I was like, do we people even say that nowadays? Is it just afters? Um, there's so many after parties by artists that were there that weekend, so there's so many shows that you can go to if you still want to keep the party going. It does end kind of early ish because it's in a residential area, so outside lands ends early yeah, outside lands or just go to a bar or go back to your friends and keep the party going there.
Sunny:Go to a house party, yeah or be like us and go to sleep. Yeah, next question tips for pacing yourself, don't?
Vanessa:go too hard on the alcohol, make sure you take breaks, make sure you eat and don't forget to use the bathroom, especially before 5 pm, because those lines can get really ridiculous.
Sunny:Most important thing for me to feel good the whole weekend is to sleep. Yeah, make sure you get a good night's sleep, Whether that good night's sleep starts at 4 or starts at midnight. Get the chunk of hours in a row.
Vanessa:Get enough sleep. Also, make sure you're drinking some liquid iv. Coconut water is a good one too. Yeah, anything with electrolytes maybe not so much sugar. Liquid iv is like using the word kleenex for tissues. You don't have to use that brand. Actually, that brand has a lot of sugar. There's so many electrolyte packets out there that are. Just make sure you're keeping up with your electrolytes, yep, but also don't take too much, because too many can make your heart go into arrhythmias. What about pedialyte? Pedialyte is good dope, okay.
Sunny:Next, where should you meet up with people? Do they still have the windmills? They have one windmill oh they got rid of one.
Vanessa:We used to use the windmills as a good meetup spot. Now we use. We always meet up at the lockers at the end of the night.
Sunny:Yeah, I stopped using the windmills because everyone uses the windmill and now there's only one of them, so we used to be able to say, like the one on the right or the left.
Vanessa:What do they mean like at the end of the night or in the middle of the? What do they mean like at the end of the night or in the middle of the, so we always use the sound booth, yeah, as like a landmark If you're trying to meet up with groups. I know some festivals have towers with numbers on them. I don't think I would say Lance does.
Sunny:But Back right tower, back left tower. Come to a consensus with your group. What side is right, what side is left, if you're facing the stage or facing away? We've had that problem before.
Vanessa:Also we've mentioned this before If you have a group chat with your friends, if you're texting in there, make sure you write at the end of your text like what time you're sending this, so that they know what time. If you're trying to meet up with somebody and they're like I'm over here, sent at 3.59, because with the service they might not get it until way later. So that's also a good tip for trying to meet up with people.
Sunny:If we're all trying to meet up before a set at the main stage, we will all meet at Beer Lands, because that's in the back of Lands End.
Vanessa:We'll meet there.
Sunny:It's in the back building and then we'll head together into the main stage. That's all I got, for where should you meet up with people? I hope that answered the question.
Vanessa:Just try to find a big landmark that everyone knows where it is, and meet there a few minutes before a set and all go in together, because trying to find people in a crowd when it's crowded is doable, but it's very hard to do. Okay, rapid fire round, best time to pee every time you pass the bathroom underrated stage panhandle, favorite non-pornographic magazine, what is it?
Sunny:what is it good?
Vanessa:housekeeping, yeah good housekeeping um shoes or boots. Oh, rapid fire shoes, unless your boots are comfy. Okay, very last thing we're gonna say is any items that we swear by.
Sunny:I like to bring a mini sunscreen stick band-aids. There's always somebody in the group who needs a band-aid for something and I like to save the day. So band-aids and an emergency blanket. They look kind of like foil and they fold up really small. What about you?
Vanessa:must-haves have to have my handheld fan. I have to. I sweat so much. She has it right now. I have it in my hand right now. The butt wipes a portable.
Sunny:Yeah.
Vanessa:That's like the one thing I will never not have.
Sunny:Good ones. Let's see. I think we've covered a lot of ground here. But any last advice for newbies, Should I say mine Just take it all in.
Vanessa:Go walk through the trees at night, damn it. Oh, is that yours.
Sunny:Yeah, sorry, it says it right here when At the bottom. Oh, I didn't even look Just kidding, that's okay. I'll say it.
Vanessa:You can expand on it.
Sunny:This is a for sure thing you should do, since we're both saying it At night, take a moment to wander through the foresty areas and check out all of the lights.
Vanessa:It's really pretty looking at them from the main stage at night. Look around all the lights, it looks really cool just remember take care of yourself, have fun.
Sunny:Don't feel pressure to do anything you don't want to do. Do you boo do? You boo boo also wanted to mention that eargasm earplugs are the official earplugs of outside lands. Do they have cool?
Vanessa:branded ones. They do nice. Make sure you pick some up.
Sunny:I want to to be like get the Outsidelands ones, because I have Outsidelands ones, but also you can get them for 10% off if you use our Festies10 code online, but you most likely will not get those in time for Outsidelands, so do with that what you will.
Vanessa:I don't know. I got mine in like a few days, oh you did days.
Sunny:Oh, you did, so you might okay if you're listening to this on friday and you order them now you might get them in time for outside, so another must have in our backpacks there's going to be a a booth there where you can try out their earplugs. Yeah, you can't use our code there, though, but I know that's why I was going back and forth about it. Either way, try them out and then use the code later.
