Tips!

With the Rothbury date nearing (2 DAYS!!), you may want to start your packing list. It sounds silly, but seriously, there are some items you do NOT want to be with out. I found a pretty comprehensive list from a guy who is clearly a festival veteran...here's a link to his list:

The only correction I would make to the list is to make the grill optional... after a long (and hot) day of concerts, activities, events, etc. there was no way you were going to get me to cook on a hot grill. Then there's the trouble of keeping any meat or dairy cold, which is not only annoying, but expensive ($7 per bag of ice at Bonnaroo). Pack sandwiches or splurge on pricier meals from vendors if you're not into the whole grilling thing.

Also, if you like camping but you're not so into the roughin' it stuff...Waterless shampoo is available at most drugstores. We tried it for the first time at Roo and it worked like a charm.

Oh and take the man seriously when he says bring tent stakes. You really don't want to go chase after your flying tent when a big gust of wind comes.

Here's good general information I found on the Rothbury site and on various blogs...its good, useful tidbits about the festival:

With each festival, different rules apply...According to the Muskegon Chronicle, the folks at Rothbury are only allowing one sealed water bottle per person (up to a gallon in size) into the concert area.
You can find that and more info here: http://blog.mlive.com/chronicle/2008/02/rothbury_will_have_it_all_rule.html

Or you can just find it on the Rothbury website:
