Liz Does Lolla: How to pack for 115 bands, 3 days, 2 flights and 1 awesome weekend

August 4th, 2011

It’s here, it’s here… LOLLAPALOOZA!!!!!!

I am an over-packer, especially when it comes to a weekend where anything can happen and you never know what you need and what you want to wear! Where do I begin? Well, I know a few things are for sure; a) I will be in the sun b) I will need comfy shoes c) I will need electronics d) I need to look nice (many people are well-dressed) and f) I will need deodorant… so this is what I’ve packed:

Sunglasses

Maybe eight pairs is a little excessive, but you never know what pair will best match your outfit right?

Key day time essentials

- SUNSCREEN!!!!!!
- Ear plugs (you want to protect your delicate little hearing)
- Dry shampoo (you get greasy being all sweaty during the day, so use dry shampoo to freshen up)
- Baby wipes (these come in handy for EVERYTHING – cleaning hands, safety toilette paper, wiping the bird crap off your arm from the unexpected dropping on your arm and perhaps you’re sweaty and need to freshen up… nothing wrong with a little baby wipe- wipe down)
- Advil (being in the sun all day, listening to loud (yet amazing) music… your head begins to throb)

And plenty more odds and ends like a refillable water bottle, camera, gum, lip chap, money, and ID.

Shoes

Always bring comfy shoes, your feet will thank you.

I needed a few pairs of heels for night time events and after parties, a few pairs of sandels to switch things up, running shoes in my daily knapsack so when you scrap the fashion and go for comfort you’ve got them by your side, and moccasins, my best friends in foot wear. No blisters from these bad boys!

Bags

1 bag + 1 knapsack + 1 big purse = I think I did alright on this one!

Whoo hoo! Let’s get this weekend rollin! xoxo
