Langerado 2008: Here We Go!

I’ve just arrived in sunny Florida and thought I would just check and make sure you’re geared up to get down at Langerado 2008. Like all festivals, Langerado has a no glass products policy, so make it easy on yourself and the staff and make sure you shuck the glass and opt for plastic instead.

I read an interesting discussion thread the other day that warned of an outbreak of red ants on the site this year. The best way to protect yourself from these annoying critters is to pack and wear a couple pairs of long socks and closed-toe shoes. Also, it’s always good to make sure you have plenty of bug spray. We are, after all, going to be camping in the Everglades in the middle of March.

Speaking of which, have your rain gear ready and waiting; weather.com has predicted we will have thunderstorms Thursday, Friday and early Saturday. Rain is part of the festival experience- pack a poncho, grab those galoshes and have fun stomping your feet in the mud. Luckily, Florida rains tend to be patchy and not ongoing, so hopefully the sun will peek out long enough to send us Northerners back home with a little sun in our skin.

Finally, I have been told that those of you who have the patience to wait out the crowd are welcome to stay overnight on Sunday and pack up and ship out early Monday. Let’s work together to ensure we leave the site as clean as we find it- garbage bags will be provided to everyone in attendance

I’ll be on site all weekend to bring you updates on what’s going on as the insanity that is Langerado 2008 kicks off festival season in the US. Stay tuned, stay dry and of course, have fun.
