this thread is amazing by the way...I pretty much just read from page one (even though most of the deal are no good anymore), the websites and deals you can find are still awesome.
p.s. @madeline , I feel like your the queen of this thread, and most of the best sites I've seen are from your recommendations, cheers!
While I'll admit I enjoy being called a queen, you guys have given me too much credit. Lots of people contribute to this thread. I believe it was Katy Mae who posted the ez up. I am happy to help when I can, though.

Tons of people asked me about this chair last year. Here's the website. I know its $44 now but keep an eye on the price. I got mine for $29 last year with free shipping
Target has selected camping gear on sale (in-store) right now. I got an Energizer carabiner room light/flashlight thing that will be perfect to clip to clothing or a backpack.
I found these on Urban Outfitters for 9.99. I'm going to make a set of curtains out of them for my ez up. While I was there, I found this...doesn't do me much good cause I don't drink alcohol, but a seat cushion AND a hidden beverage bladder inside? I wish I did drink alcohol now. No gate searcher would ever find that....
Last year I saw a cute, short little chick carrying around a collapsible step stool and thought it was brilliant. I'm 5'9 so seeing over heads isn't usually an issue. However, I've been to plenty of shows w/ people considerably shorter and I can see how one of these would come in handy. No matter how great the music sounds, you want to see the stage!
Thats a sweet little stool ahaynes! Thanks for posting! I was considering this this year. Bc similar to the law of gravity, the law of shorty is just as true: No matter how early I arrive at a show, No matter where I stand, THE tallest person in the crowd WILL stand in front of me. The only exception to this rule is if I am on the rail. And often, the photo pass dude or the security guy nullifies even that exception.

After an afternoon of research, I feel confident in saying this Camelbak is a good deal. From what I could find it has the largest reservoir and the most amount of storage space for the lowest price. I've seen it going for up to $80 and this site has it for $49. Free shipping too if you spend at least $50 so I bought a 97 cent energy gel to tip the register. www.campsaver.com/rim-runner-hydration-pack-1
They accept PayPal too so I'm not that worried about it being a scam.

I've totally thought of doing this! I'm not even 5'2" and hate not seeing much. I'm just not a big fan of carrying it around along with everything else I've already got. I think I got mine for even less from Ross/Marshalls. Different design but same idea.
You will still need to purchase a separate reservoir for the water. this backpack only has a sleeve to hold the reservoir in not the actual bladder itself.
I've seen Camelbak brand bladders going for roughly $30 I believe for this total price I think it would be better to get the pack mentioned by 10goldbees comes out cheaper.
Bought this last week and got it just a few days later, even after tax & shipping total cost = $112. My partner & I setup it up just a little bit ago and it was definitely easy to setup. We needed to buy a new one because in 2011 there was a HUGE wind gust in VIP and it bent the frame on our old canopy. But just like this one our old one was a dome canopy and it was so great to have, many neighbors hung out in ours because it was so cool. I strongly recommend purchasing this because as we all know shade is key!! Just attach some sheets or tapestries on the sides and you create a nice cool shade lounge area.
Hurry because it's on clearance and I'm sure supplies are limited.
2009 - Bonnaroo (GA - First time going)
2010 - Bonnaroo (VIP - it made it an even better experience)
2011 - Bonnaroo (VIP again - once VIP you can't go GA - IMO)
2012 - missed Bonnaroo due to new job and no vacation time 2013 - Bonnaroo (VIP & Honeymoon - Married 5/3/13)

gotcha. i was just quickly looking in the Camping section on woot and found that. thought mayyybe someone out there would find it useful, but I guess Camelbak still wins, hehe. I have 2 Camelbaks myself.

I've been looking for a good camelbak, this is probably what i will get, thank you very much.
In regards to solar phone chargers. etc., I just saw this: Scosche solar charger, regular $29.99, on sale for $16.99, $11.99 after $5 promo code, free shipping. I have no idea if it is adequate, but the reviews are good and for 12 bucks I'm willing to try it out. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855994080
EDIT: The $5 promo code is good through 2/11.
I bought that solar powered charger and tried it out. As of right now it works great! Just hope it stays that way.
13deals.com/ 13Deals has several possible items for Roo/camping. LED lantern, zip ties, sleeping bag, 2 pack of headlamps, green glowsticks, several types of flashlights, battery operated paper lanterns, solar powered string lights, etc.

Thanks for the heads up! Add another small item (like THIS) and you'll get free ground shipping.
I went to Academy today to see if they had some of their EZ-up deals from online in store. I was able to purchase two 10x10 Sierra II EZ-up brand shade tents, for $50 per EZ-up.
The 12x12 Sierra II EZ-up was $70, they also had other brands that I was unfamiliar with that were on clearance, but those were more expensive and I know EZ-up makes a good product.
They also had glow sticks and glow necklaces on clearance for $.88, so I picked up a couple haha. There were also some Igloo Ice Cube coolers on clearance for $25, I believe.

This is just too good to pass up. Just picked this up and some mole skin to push me over $50. Thanks inforoo! Now to get an EZ-up and I'll be set!
cheers!
