It’s mid-July and we are getting excited up in here about two nights with SEATS at Labor Dave weekend + Brandi Carlile!!! Aside from pre-listening and composing our setlist wishlists, we’re playing the setlist game on Ants Marching, and thinking of our outfits. I have one outfit, but need to come up with a second one before the big show. As for Saturday, I’m not certain what I’m going to do about my current swimwear situation–I have nothing SUITable (pun!) But there’s no money and no merch, so I’ll have to get creative about that one. . . But in the mean time, here’s a list I generated last year about things we need to remember this time. And I’ll add to it as it gets closer.
Things to Pack:
Emergency kit with: IB-Prophen, Pepto tabs, sunscreen, CHAPSTICK
Cooler, ice packs
**ziplock bag with damp washcloths in the cooler
SUBSTANTIAL food meal
thermos full of a mocktail
gallon Gatorades (3 minimum)
camping chairs
ball & Frisbee
extra pair of socks and shoes
Clearasil sports wipe carry-on packets
makeup in the cooler
all phones (for venue picture-taking purposes)
cash
sm pad of paper & pen (for setlist game)
sleep mask
For a Private pic-nic and maybe camping right on the Columbia River:
From Quincy, head east on Rd 11.2 NW
Turn right on Rd U NW
Turn left on Rd 11 NW
Turn right on Rd S NW
Take 2nd right to WA-28 W
Drive a full 10 min.
Turn left on Spanish Castle Rd
Turn right on Rudolph Rd
Park before the train tracks
Walk down the hill toward water.
Looking at river, should be to the left of Grant County PUD 2 little sheds
Walking back up the STEEP mountain is terrible, and fine sand.
Catty Remarks
