Has anyone seen these before?

They also come in frogs. What do you guys think? I'm thinking about about buying about 1400 of them. I can just see them flying everywhere on a designated night... We had them at an employee party and they were easily the most fun part of the night.

Re: The Gorge 2012

If anyone comes across an extra Wildhorse Camping Pass, please let me know. I already have mine taken care of, but I have another friend who hasn't set up where he's staying yet.

I told him Wildhorse is the place to be!

Thanks!

Hope everyone's Monday is rounding out well. Just one less we have til Night-0.

super cute, but my environmental earth loving side comes out in full force about stuff like this (and the stupid glow sticks)...i imagine the lawn being littered with them at the end of the night, straight to a landfill, makes me (and the earth) sadz... just my 2 cents.

Re: The Gorge 2012

But on a happier note, you guys should come with us on Saturday to a show at the High Dive in Fremont. Zombie Walk After Party: featuring Quinn, Buzz Brump, and Nafarious Jones. Only $8...two for one if you dress as zombies!

Good point. I didn't think about that part. I'll save some monies then.

Pretty please no glow sticks being thrown. Or anything for that matter. That's how people get hurt. Even stretchy monkeys, as unbelievable as it seems, can be dangerous!

I bring lots of glow sticks but I actually wear them on my wrists! And only give them to people who wear them.

I've abandoned the stretchy monkey idea. I am buying glow sticks but I don't throw them either, just wear them.

Honestly, If they aren't being thrown at the Band or directly onto the stage, it's pretty awesome to see all those flashes of neon lights.

The glowing is cool, the litter is troublesome.

Now what to do about the light-up beach ball I ordered especially for the Gorge......

Re: The Gorge 2012

Most likely this will not happen this year but i am from the east coast and i am thinking that there is a very slight possibility that i may be able to make it to this this year. Only have two general questions for now. 1. Round figure how much u think i would have to spend on tickets and airfare alone? 2. how far away is this from Seattle?

2. 155 miles east

1. Tickets are roughly $80 for reserve and $50 for lawn. As far as flights, that certainly varies based on where you are and timing, so just go on orbitz or a particular airline site and check out the price.

Re: The Gorge 2012

Hello gorgers!

So quick question as I'm planning this trip out...I assume everyone leaves their tents up the whole time, correct? (I'm in premier camping.)

Also, do you leave your blankets and such in them while you go to the show? Obviously valuables would be locked in the car...Just curious I guess if everyone is honest or what not.

I can't believe it's almost here!!!

You're set up for the weekend - claim your spot, cover it, set a perimeter, then go party with the neighbors

In general, most people are honest, but this type of event does draw the sort that will rifle through things while people are at the show. Common sense applies - likely everything will be cool, but make sure it's nailed down

There are patrols, but they're not going to discourage someone who's determined. Mostly they're there to yell at people to not stand on top of RVs and rage at bonfires.

Just use your head, keep your valuables with you or locked up and you'll have an unbelievable experience that will draw you back year after year!
