Backwoods Tickets Online - Collectable RFID Wristbands for Backwoods Music Festival
We're moving to RFID wristbands instead of paper tickets for the music festival this year! When you order your Backwoods tickets online, we'll ship your RFID wristbands a couple of weeks prior to the festival. You MUST have an RFID wristband to get onto the festival grounds and campsites. We will not be selling tickets or wristbands at the gates, so be sure to pre-order your tickets online! Please spread the word to others since this is a change from year's passed!
NO Tickets for Backwoods Music Festival Sold At The Gates
It's important to know there will be NO tickets for Backwoods Music Festival sold at the gates this year. In years passed, we previously sold tickets at the gates. We're moving to RFID collectable wristbands this year for better experiences at the festival entrances, campsites, and music venues. These RFID wristbands must be registered to an individual for security purposes and will happen prior to the festival. The only way this can be done is by purchasing a your ticket ahead of the festival so we can ship your personal RFID wristband to you at home. There are only 10,000 allotted tickets for sale this year, and the festival is expected to sell out many weeks before the actual festival date. Be sure to order your tickets ONLINE as soon as you can to save on ticket prices, and SPREAD THE WORD to others! We want to make sure everyone has their chance to attend!
How to Build a Rage Stick - Rage Stick Wars
Can’t find your friends or have cell service? Circling around campsites that appear similar to the one you thought you set up? Nobody else could have cleverly thought to purchase a brightly colored tent to stand out amongst the trees. And yet, all you see is the color orange.Maybe it truly is the new black.But alas! In a *hand-to-forehead* moment you scan just above the sea of nylon searching for the witty (or at least you think so) rage stick you and your fellow campers crafted.Huzzah! There’s Crazy Eyes!In recent years fashioning rage sticks has become quite the frenzy among music festival goers in order to easily meet up with scattered friends.Here are some things to think about when it comes to building your rage stick:
- Creativity - Be creative! The rage stick loses its usefulness if there is another just like it floating high above the crowd.
- Faces - Giant faces are not just for sporting events. Just ask the group who brought the second Danny Ocean…. Apparently George Clooney was all the rage (pun totally intended) at Summer Camp last year.
- Height - Build them tall enough not to obstruct others’ views.
- Light - Keep in mind a rage stick should be light enough for each member of the group to at least hold up in a crowd, not necessarily carry from the campsite to aforementioned crowd.
- Power - Your rage stick can be battery operated. So maybe try your hands at adding a neon sign from your favorite neighborhood bar—not that we’re condoning stealing!
- Wind - Last thing to consider is the wind factor. The more surface area at the top of the stick, the more susceptible it is to blowing over.
Kat D. Hoops & Friends to teach Hoop Dance and Perform at Backwoods 2015
Kat D. Hoops, a professional silk, lyra, and hula-hoop aficionado has been confirmed for Backwoods 2015. The creative stage designers and producers at Backwoods have discussed integrating two places (one on each side of the main stage) for silks, hammocks, and lyra performances built into the stage design. Additionally other areas such as the enclosed 6,000 SF Air Conditioned club "Elevate" will also showcase Kat and her friends.Kat will also be holding hoop dance classes in the early afternoons both Friday and Saturday at the festival for those who would like to learn.
How to Hula-Hoop
Is hula-hooping like riding a bike? We suppose you’ll provide us the answer seeing as it’s most likely something you haven’t done in years. Riding a bike, however, you probably did yesterday.Let’s recap proper technique:
- Step into the middle of the hoop.
- Pull up the hoop to around the waist.
- Then, spin the hoop while moving the hips in a back and forth motion.
Below is a very good example of what to do:
This kid…not so much:
Now you have the basics down, try it.
How to Cure a Hangover
So you’ve spent Day 1 partying, drinking, dancing, yelling (or what you like to think of as singing), etc. The final band is wrapping up, crowds are dispersing, and hopefully you or a friend are remembering at least the vicinity of the tent you’re supposed to pass out in for a few hours.After wandering for what seemed like miles, you’ve stumbled to the tent that boasts a giant spray painted X because it would look unique amongst the hundreds of other pup tents, kind of like a luggage tag does to the frequently traveled black suitcases.The slightly deflated air mattress feels like a Sleep Number bed rather than a deflated pool raft barely keeping afloat. You may not even notice that crick in your neck in the morning.Why?Because you’re head aches worse. Good morning! You’re hungover!
But don’t worry. You’ve prepared for this, prepared for the over confidence in your tolerance, prepared for the stupidity of a friend (because you weren’t going to be ‘that girl/guy’ this year.How? Here are the top-10 hangover cures so the festivities can continue without too much of a hitch.1. Trick question: Backwoods only happens once a year. No sleeping.
2. Hair of the dog. Chug a beer or take a shot. It’s like you never stopped…prolong the ill effects.
3. Aspirin/Motrin/Advil/Ibuprofen. Don’t take these on an empty stomach; the after effects aren’t favorable for anyone in camp.
4. Water. Despite the consumption of an abundance of liquids, you’re still dehydrated, and that’s why you have a headache in the first place.
5. Watermelon. Not kidding. It’s food, and it’s mainly made up of water. So the summertime fruit is really a two-fer.
6. Chips. Hopefully while you rested your friends who manned (or womaned) up and saw dawn and didn’t munch too much.
7. Go for a run. Take 15 minutes to exercise and sweat the alcohol out. If you drank flavored vodka the day before, you’ll have a rather sweet smell as the alcohol discharges out of your pores.
8. Ginger Ale/Tea. Ginger is frequently used to cope with nausea. Wouldn’t advise eating sushi with that just yet, though.
9. Emergen-C. It will help replenish the vitamins lost while you were having a great time killing them off.
10. Coffee. This one is a toss up. The caffeine may help the headache, but the boosting of your blood pressure could just make it worse.
Honorable Mention: Abstain from drinking. But really, where’s the fun in that?
