1. Did you know that LIB open it's gates at 4pm on thursday? This means that you can set up your camp and be ready to go when the festival actually starts on friday! Last year, it filled up very fast. Arriving early should mean that you get a good spot. I am not involved in this aspect of things. But as someone who heads out to the playa early every year, the best times are had by those who get out there at the beginning.
2. Bring cash. I do not think there will be ATMs on site. Last year there were some amazing things available that I just couldn't buy because I didn't have the money. Bring enough cash for the long weekend. There will be even more vendors this year.
3. Figure out who you are camping with before you get there!
4. Pack things in bins, especially food. There are chipmunks everywhere at LIB. I like to think of them as very small and adorable bears. Bins also make things pack neatly into your car, and chips cannot be crushed in them.
5. Beware of holes. Watch where you are going. There have had a couple of injuries at LIB over the years. Please be careful.
6. Earplugs. Not for the music, cause it stops pretty early. But for your loud-ass campmates in the morning having deep conversations about the nature of the universe.
7. Car camping is completely sold out. If you didn't arrange a car pass, you will not be able to bring your car to your campsite. Keep this in mind when packing. Use wheels if you can. Pack a little lighter.
8. Bring a towel. There are showers at the event. There are also infinite uses for a towel. Also, think about some sandals or crocs for the showers.
9. Do not miss the Yard Dogs Traveling Road Show. Two years ago at LIB I saw them. They completely changed my life. One of the most compelling shows I have ever seen. They are an incredible band.
10. Meditate on actually capturing lightning in a bottle, think of the equipment and danger involved, the lightning rods, the vacuum tubes, the dials and levers... It's so crazy it just might work.
