Here are a few things I suggest you bring:\n\nComfortable clothes and shoes (like Crocs)\nSunscreen and bug protection\nanti-perspirant\nExtra TP\nA flashlight (for dark trips to the bathroom)\nblanket to sit on\nextra car keys (a lot of people lose theirs)\na cheap camera (I wouldn't bring a digital unless you want to keep it on you the entire time)\nA container to hold water\n\nI wouldn't bring anything of real value with you because a lot of things are stolen. If you happen to forget anything, there is a general store where you can buy stuff.

i work on a herbal highs stall at festivals and as far as i know it's all about getting in with the organisers and word of mouth. everyone seems to know each other.it's best to plan well in advance. they will charge you fees for the pitch/rental/hire of generators etc... prob best to e-mail a ton of people on lots of festival sites and see if you get any responses. hope that helps

Just invite your closest friends and relatives.It gets overwhelming if you have to many people there.Remember you have to feed all the people that you invite.I just got married two weeks ago and we spent alot on food and the cake and we ended up with food left over.

I would go with a dome tent, they're easy for one person to erect and you can find them in just about any size you might need. After one is up it's more stable than other tents. After a week long camping trip in Big Bend National Park there was a major storm during the night, next morning dome tents were the only ones standing, impressed me.

1.  Before you start planning, figure out what your objective is.  You wouldn't believe how much energy is wasted on planning without having any clear idea of what you're planning.  Ask questions like "What is the product or output I want to produce?"  "What would success look like in this case?"  "How will I know when I'm done planning?"\n\n2. Once you know what you want to plan, figure out who cares about that thing.  Some people call these the "stakeholders."  That just means the people who have a "stake" in the outcome, the people who are affected by it.  You want to make sure all the stakeholders are involved in your planning, or at least aware of your event.  So if you are planning an AIDS benefit concert, you naturally would put down "the musicians," "the funding organization," and "the volunteers."  But you might also put on the list "the neighbors," "the traffic cops," and "the NGOs working with people living with HIV".\n3. In a big event, no one person can know and control everything.  You MUST have a team, and you must delegate.  List on a piece of paper all the different kinds of tasks that will be needed.  At this point, don't start worrying about solutions to problems, just list the kinds of work needed:  "find venue.  arrange refreshments.  control funds.  raise funds.  rent chairs, tent, sound equipment.  create and sell tickets, advertise event.  security and coordination with the police and fire marshall.  parking.  first aid."  Once you have a big ol' long list, group things into natural committees: Organizing committee. Food.  Treasury.  Public relations.  Health and safety.  Artists.  Volunteers welfare. etc.\n4.  Once you know the kind of volunteers you need, list teh committees, the kind of tasks they will be involved in, and about how many people you need for each.  Print a bunch of copies of this list.  Have a meeting (with refreshments if you can--amazing what a better mood people are in to volunteer if you feed them!) and explain what you hope to accomplish (raise $10,000 for care of local AIDS victims) and how you plan to do it (a benefit concert.)  Go over the kind of work that's needed, and ask for volunteers.  Ask the volunteers right at the start if they will commit to see the event through. If people get offended and drop out, so be it. You're better off with 10 people who really want to do it than 25 who won't show up half the time.\n5. Now your job is to get the committees meeting.  A leader usually emerges for each committee or you can ask them to choose a point of contact.  Make sure you have theeir  names, email, and phone numbers so you can pass info to everyone involved in the effort.\n6. Your job is also to make sure volunteers are getting plenty of warm fuzzies.  Plan ways to say "thank you!" at regular intervals.  Give out pins, baseball caps.  Have a "volunteer of the week" prize for extra effort.  Put up a poster listing the volunteers where others can see it.\n7.  Keep a close eye on the money.  Nice people do dumb things when money is involved.  Donors need to know their money is safe and being used properly.  Report to them regularly on how things are coming along.  Do regular cash counts and keep written records of expenses.\n8. Check your objective from time to time.  Are we still headed in the right direction? \n\nGood luck!

Just play it safe. \nMake sure you know where you will be enjoying your experience. Have your cell handy and inform a friend where you'll be and when to expect to see you again. (Set the alarm on your phone just in case you need to dress and run in the AM.)\nIt's an awesome and emowering experience in which you will probably be comfortable tring new tricks and playing out your fantsies. \nI had several encounters, most of which I wouldn't trade for the world. Most imortantly I had a good time while exploroing my own sexuality. Enjoy the future!

I go tent camping every year with my wife and 2 kids every summer.  In Schuylkill county, in the foothills of the Poconos.\n\nThere are websites with use full lists.\n\nBut it depends a lot on where you going, and what kind of camping you doing.\n\nI don't take any food except things around the house that need to be eaten.  I live in Philly, and everything is much cheaper in the Poconos.  So I take a bunch of coolers that fit inside of each other to save space, and have frozen gallons of water to start.\nAnd I buy everything I need there.  \n\nI prefer old clothes.  Take cooking utensils, a tarp and rope for rain, flashlights for everyone, lantern, cards, radio, ax and good knife.  \n \nBuy a local newspaper and hit a local block party.

as an eagle scout i did a lot of camping in various types of weather here is what you need:\n\ntent\nbackpack (you will be able to fit almost everything in one as opposed to suitcases; needs to be at least 4800 cubic inches)\na backpacking stove\neating utensils (such as metal pots and pans and cutlery this will make for easy cleanup)\nas much food as necessary for the trip\nclothing for the season\na Global Positioning System (get one in the range of about 300 to 400. they are good and some can float on water)\nlots of water\na means of communication ( such as a cell phone)\na map and compass (if you re not careful the batteries in the gps will run out)\ntoiletries ( such as a toothbrush)\na shovel to dig your latrine\na flashlight\na watch\nExtra Batteries\nrain gear for everyone in your group\nhighly reflective blanket\nfire starters\nwood (if you're going to a campsite; If not you can just collect some in the woods)\nmatches or another way of starting a fire\nlet someone know where you re going and when you re expecting to be back so they know when to send for help if necessary\nAND LAST BUT NOT LEAST TAKE ANOTHER RESPONSIBLE ADULT. YOU MUST HAVE A BUDDY BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND/OR YOUR INJURIES !!!! YOU'RE CHILDREN WILL NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO\n\nas far as brands go to a place like REI, or Cabela's, or Bass pro shops they will have the best equipment. go look and make a list of equipment then go online and search for the cheapest price on the specific equipment you want. you should be able to save some money for the trip and so you can have some in case of an emergency. HAVE A GOOD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \n\ni dont know any places where you can rent a tent except for REI if there is one down in your area but go to the local sporting goods stores and you will be able to find a tent that suits your needs for around 150 to 200 i know that if you look there then you are more likely to find what you need and what you like.  i suggest you buy the tent and all your camping stuff becauseyou never know what kind of condition the rental equipment will be in and you wouldnt have to pay for anythign should it break or rip in any way.\n\nSource(s):\n\nyears of camping

First ur club must be THE talked club in town before its opening, repend the rumor that there are gonna be too many epople and u have to come early to get in place....invite a great DJ for the grand opening.. depending of the kind of music that is...U can split the club in 2...one half with sofas and chilling music and one half with a real dancefloor...or if u dont have enough space, or money, u can just do 1 dancefloo..people judge a club primarely by its DJ so if the music is great and alcohol is cheap, people will have a great time and come back. The price of alcohol dosnt have to be THAT cheap, just the lowest price of all the good clubs in the area. Build Fire resistant counters and let the barmaids lit it on fire one during a night (with alcohol) always amazez me when they do that! These are all the tips i can think of.
