Friday is my reconnaissance; it’s the day that I set aside to simply scan the perimeter and peruse the middle festivities to get my bearings, especially since the configuration is so different this year, and to see everything that there is lest I miss something in the insanity that can become any music festival of this scale. What did I find on my mission? The Angry Orchard Arcade that I plan on visiting heavily in order to try and win a ground blanket. It will definitely take some time. Funyuns has some surprises in store for you as well as an unlimited supply of various kinds of Funyuns. Go slow though, I had three bags in 3 hours. The Zippo tent has some pretty cool prizes for you, so get there early to avoid a line. Toyota has pulled out all the stops in order to bring music and art together for your listening and viewing pleasure. Stop by the Toyota Den to hear some of the bands from the festival perform again in a much more intimate setting. They’ve also partnered with VH1’s Save the Music program to spread tunes throughout the country.
