SOMD games entry?

Postby Gunny on Thu Apr 24, 2008 8:37 pm

Newb question here.
What are we allowed to take in with us to the games. Chairs? Sports Bag of gear? Cooler with water?
Anything off limits?

Nail on the head, both of you.

Don't forget sunscreen and a small towel or two. Some guys also bring at least one of the following: cigars, beer, scotch, snacks. Especially the newbs. ;) Cash for food, entry fee, whatnot. Sometimes we have some time to walk around and see the other stuff at the festival, sometimes not.

sometimes vitamin p (percs) too! :D :D :D

Dont forget being your first games and all, that you are required to bring at least 2 bottles of Macallans, one box of cuban cigars, 2 cases of red bull, sugar free( we gotta watch our figures! :lol: :lol: :lol: ), and of course, a haggis!

OK, let's see if I've got this right?

1 Cooler of beer (PBR or Schlitz right?)
2 bottles of Macallans (Is that the cheap blended stuff?)
1 box of cubanos' (swisher sweet's work I guess)
1 bottle of baby oil for the sun, and McKenzie's back rub.
1 trash bag with holes, in case it rains.
and
2 Dozen Egg McMuffins


Anything else I've forgotten?
