- pace yourself! It's a marathon, not a race.
- take plenty of water/ food/ rest breaks.
- diddley will never cap out, but a lot of the smaller venues will (esp high dive, Atlantic, wooly, Loosey's) and double especially for secret sets. Get there early if it's a must-see.
- be flexible. Your plans will change and you won't wind up seeing every band you want to.
- eat tacos at flacco's and a gator burrito at Boca. Also hit up the hot dog cart.
- if you buy a lot of merch, take advantage of the bag check uhaul at high dive. They let you check it for the day and you can add more stuff to it later.
- if you're not staying at either of the official hotels, still try to hit up a pool party/after party/beer purge at one (warning: you can party out front of the HI, but can't go inside if not a guest. Wyndham, you can).
- Use the Fest app if you aren't already. Keep an eye out for schedule changes.
- hug people and make friends.
- If you don't go to one of the 88 Fingers Louie sets, you're fucking up
