FREE TICKETS: Outside Lands 2010
Holy shit bags. Slap our faces with a cold wet hand. Why? Because we’re obviously dreaming. We’ve got one pair of tickets to the 2010 Outside Lands Festival at Golden Gate Park and one of you is meant to have them. Like Ron Burgundy, this is kind of a big deal. You know the lineup. You’ve heard the story. You’re tired of us pimping this. Just describe what’s in your Outside Lands preparedness survival kit in the comments below. Creative answers encouraged. Til then, stay classy, readers.

just the essentials- altoids, sigg bottle, ear plugs, rolling papers, lighter, lid of medicinal marijuana, flask of medicinal tequila.
Sunscreen- enough for everyone I'm with plus the lobster at the festival who thinks he has a chance to wind back the hands of time
Water- heat stroke will be a Debbie-downer
Money- for happy hour and for buying new CD's!
Hoodie- I hate freezing my ass off after sunset
Fully charged phone/extra battery- Photos to tweet/facebook, exchanging phone numbers with new friends, finding friends you were separated from, keeping track of the festival schedule, calling friends who weren't able to go so they can hear their favorite (insert festival performer) tune!
A "la lucha libre" mask modeled after a pigeon's head to wear to the Kings of Leon show. I'm gonna wear it in the front row during their set. Hope the brothers don't freak out and end their set early on account of me.
Aloe-Vera, Band-aids, Camera, Dice, Ear plugs, Fingernail clippers, Gum, Hair ties, Ice cooler, Jump rope, Kleenex, Lighter, Mask (porta-potties, yo), Necklace (the candy type), Oreo cookies for the snacking, Paperclip (cheap-mans money-clip), Q-tip (to clean ears pre-ear-plug sharing… ew
, Red face-paint for Empire of the Sun!, Sunglasses, Toilet paper, Ultra-violet sunscreen, Vaseline, Water, X-ray machine (now there IS a doctor in the house), You <3, Zebra striped undies.
Cheers!
Whiskey and cigarettes.
1. Ukulele. Important for many reasons. If the bands aren't up to par, Ukulele jam! If I get terribly, horribly bored between bands, Ukulele jam! If I spend all my money on outside lands tickets, put out a hat for some cash and have a Ukulele jam! Portable fun for everyone.
2. Hat. The wider the brim the better. This would qualify this hat as a sun hat. Important to protect my skin and eyes from the harsh sun, and also for the purpose of looking ridiculously glamorous.
3. Leggings. It is a given that at a summer festival I will want to wear a sundress, but as we all know, it gets chilly in the later hours. Slip on some leggings and girl you're good to go! Plus, if you want sit down and you got your leggings on, you don't need to worry about the world seeing all your business, unless that's what you want… in that case, don't wear leggings! Put them in your bag!
4. Bubbles. There's something about bubbles that blow (no pun intended) everybody's minds. It's a strange phenomenon that I cannot explain, but if you bring bubbles to any public gathering, you are guaranteed to make some friends- or meet a lot of people on acid, either way, you'll have a good laugh.
Bus pass, bike, water, costumes, warm layers, girls guys friends, little bi I cagfir the san franpsycho booth!!! Yayyayaya!!!!!
A sexy man, a snazzy hat, red licorice, some awesome sneakers, and a bottle of water flavored with liiime.
ice cream from bi-rite, a couple bottles of Pomelo and the quilt my gramma made (just in case!).
Always take condoms for porto potty escapades, some weed for afternoon relaxation and a flask for night drinking ( drinking in the sun is pointless), I need to use my anti-chafing cream to keep my inner thighs lubed up so I can walk around senselessly, Baby wipes cuz using toilet paper in portable toilets is a horrible experience, a nice pump bottle of sanitizing gel, two pairs of sunglasses (one for the sun and one to look cool in at night), Shorts for the day and some capri like pants for when the fog rolls in, Sunscreen, and some peanuts.
comdoms, hypodermic needles, and ear plugs.
I'll be bringing a lawn chair for comfortable people watching and a camera to take photos of all of these crazy commenters who plan on bringing the shit show to Outsidelands!
MOIST TOILETTES, a Clif Bar, cigarettes but no lighter (so I can meet people), tums
I will be bringing a temperature controlled bubble that is impenetrable by other humans, unless I invite them inside. The bubble can expand indefinitely in size and circumference due it's amazing elasticity in order to incorporate as many people as necessary.
I would bring a magic carpet that not only flew high above the crowd so I could pick the best view of each act, but also came with a genie that served my friends and I ice cold beverages. I would of course share all these beverages with everyone from the OwlMag. ps The genie might also have a delicious taco pizza from Z Pizza.
lipstick, jockstrap, power-aid, teasels, police badge, doc martins, white lighter, i phone cord, newports, blanket and of course.. chuck norris
lorna doone shortbreads cause the, shits is hella tasty, vaseline cause i might need lube or i might get ashy, merino wool socks casue new socks are always fresh, nipple clamps cause its san francisco…..and you never know, marijuana bunt cake to share with friends, formula 50 vitamin water cause i need to hydrate like a gangsta, my snuggie cause i might have to teach someone how to dougie" under the sheets!
Diapers so I don't miss a thing!
Plenty of water; alcohol, drugs, sunscreen, glasses, total anonymity and binoculars that double as flask
my free tickets the owl mag is providing me with, some ear plugs, a bag big enough to hold a light jacket and a enough room to buy tons of merch and samples of things they always give away at festivals.
Plenty of water, trail mix, a lighter, a phone/camera/method of documenting the experience, a sweater, mouthwash, wet ones hand sanitizers, toilet paper, cash for purchasing some new tunes/souveniers, and a towel because Douglas Adams has taught me the importance of always bringing a towel.
Cash-Id-water-light jacket-phone-pack of swishers-toothbrush n floss( if there’s room I take it anywhere) sunblock- lighter- chap stick- camera- and if it would fit I’d bring extra good vibes for everyone!
Lighter, corkscrew, bottle opener, jacket, long pants, muni card, and signal flares.
Only bringing one thing, orange man thong,
With that on I can get anything else needed for free.
A graphing calculator, a spiral bound notebook, a slide rule, a pocket protector, and a world almanac
a heart full of love, a pocket full of smiles, and shoes full of dancing
I've never been to Outside Lands, but from what I've heard this is really tight!
What i would definitely bring with me is all my energy to enjoy this fabulous event!
Gotta enjoy it while you're there right?
Some money to buy food!
MUST have a camera.
EVERYONE needs one! at least to take a few pictures and take advantage of the privilege we get to have ;D
I wouldn't need much.
Just my Giovanni on the side having fun dancing and jumping to the music.
What's there to enjoy? EVERYTHING IS THERE! music, food,partayyy!,fun!
no need to bring the whole emergency kit.
IT'S ALL GOOD!
As noted above, this IS kind of a big deal! It'll be magical! Well, my Outside Lands preparedness survival kit would consist of tickets to Outside Lands 2010 of course. I mean, there would be no point in preparing without having the tickets! I'll bring someone with me who's willing to rock out and have multiple eargasms! Money to buy food and souvenirs. Sunscreen is essential; as well as a cozy jacket (or warm blanket). A fully charged cell phone with it's charger. WATER! You'll be surprised how many people can get dehydrated and suffer from heat strokes at concerts! Yikes! Comfortable clothing along with my most radical sneakers! Gotta look spiffy man! A camera to take tons of pictures, so when you're 60 years old and your memory is bad, you'll remember those nostalgic times on August of 2010 where you've never been happier(except that one time Ron Burgandy waved at you). Some killer shades to protect your eyes from uv-rays and the artists on stage, e.g. Julian Casablancas, Chromeo, Phoenix, Kings of Leon. Definitely some hand sanitizer and toilet paper. I don't know about you guys, but I would bring bag of goldfish crackers to grub on while I wait for the bands. Last but definitely not least, a backpack to fit everything in! All of this would be more than perfect to be ready for Outside Lands, wouldn't you agree?
Screw Willy Wonka! This is the REAL golden ticket! OwlMag, you're the ones with the golden ticket to imagination and adventure! Although Mr. Wonka couldn't say it any better when he said, "So shines a good deed in a weary world."
A few crucial items for a date in Golden Gate Park.
*Variety of colored wrist bands for all access.
*Fog Horn
*Pee funnel. Can't loose your spot up front!
*A flag to wave with excitement! Also a key meeting point with friends and family.
*A leash for my boyfriend. Sunglasses for him..so he can check out "talent."
*6 lighters..because we'll loose 8 of them.
*Bubbles, everybody loves bubbles.
*Garlic for vampires.
*Whiskey & Pickle Juice.
*Water..hole lotta water….and fun-yuns yeaaah.
these are making me laugh. way to go people!
A specific credit card which allows access to the best bathrooms, a previous year's VIP wrist badge to allow me access to less crowded viewing areas, water bottles filled with various things, all the food I will eat that day, ear plugs and it's starting to look like some warm clothes will be essential.
Step son of 16, who came all the way from New York for is first concert, iphone, water bottle, open mind, back pack, MONEY, smile, dancing shoes =uggs, sunscreen, tootsie pops, corkscrew, blanket, screaming voice, ID.
sunscreen, lighter, vs card, ear plugs, hand sanitizer, snacks, SMILES, camera, arm warmers & probably leggings, cozy hoody, condoms, my ranger dave keep it green t, water bottle, and if i win tickets: the cream of the crop!!! some arm candy!!!!
1) a hoodie, i mean cmon we're in sf here! although it might not even be used since i plan on being indulged in the crowd for most of the time anyways. youd be surprised at how hot it can get with all the body heat.
2) my camera, im a photography major in sf and my greatest passion has always been taking photos at shows. ive never gone to outside lands before, but just imagining how beautiful it must all look right in the middle of this park thats similar to a forest just gets me so stoked! not only will it look like, but at the same time feel like, we've all travelled back in time to the summer of love and gathering together for the human be-in festival in golden gate park.
3) my phone, for festivals as big as this its easy to lose your friends and we all know a show is way more enjoyable with people you know singing along right beside you. i just hope theres good enough reception…
4) my lucky purple kazoo, i know it sounds ridiculous but i take it with me to each show and it hasnt let me down yet.
other than those few things, i think im set! keep doing what you all do at the owl mag, really enjoy this site.

Hell ya I’ll go with you (even though I’ve never heard of that band before).
Yay!, lets drink wine. Cheers!

Water, cash, condoms, camera, lighter, and lots of energy drinks.
But most important bring and open mind and lots of spirit.
Don't understand why a lot of the posts are saying they're bringing sunscreen? The big yellow orb in the cosmos is unlikely to make an appearance, it is more likely to be colder than a look given to you by your girlfriend after checking out some hottie across the street so I'm going to take a warm sweater. I'm probably going to be treating my palate to some the food and most of the wine at the festival so I definitely need to bring some greenbacks with me. Won't be sitting down anytime so I'm not bringing a blanket but since I will be standing I do need the appropriate kicks. I have these brown shoes with some special padding on the inside that feel like you're walking on a tempur-pedic mattress, very comfortable. The last thing I would bring with me is my friend Andy. She digs the music and anything I forget to take I know that she will have it in her survival kit. Also, after the festival is over her place is close enough to G.G. Park that we can walk there and keep the party going. That's pretty much it, because most of what I'll need will already be at the festival. I need to see the My Morning Jacket, I need to see the Strokes, I need to see Al Green, I need to see Chromeo and I need to see Empire of the Sun.
binoculars in case i'm far away…ear plugs if i get lucky enough to be too close…sunglasses and bubble gum cigarettes (lucky strike is my brand)…lomo camera…my tiny moleskin notebook and a purple pen in case i discover a new band i like or a cute boy…cash money…sunblock, excedrin, and hello kitty bandaids (just in case)…
