depends on what your type of fun is.
the campground is known to be a non-stop party, if you can snag a pass to the premier section, you'll be guaranteed a little more sleep. it's a fantastic experience either way really, i recommend it over hoteling it-unless you just can't stand camping. getting to know your neighbors, making the walk down the dusty gravel road to the venue with 20k other people, waking up to views of the gorge as the sun rises...nothing beats it for me. there's also another campground down the road called Wildhorse, been sold out for months, but passes do come up for sale. it's got a shuttle to take you to the venue, a cafe, nicer grass, and it's smaller. check this site for more info:

I could really use some Gorge sunshine today.

sorry, had to laugh about the morning bitching...i get up at 3:30 every day. so by 9:30 i'm already well into my day.

hmmm. i am not inclined to keep dropping 100+ bucks on pairs of shoes if i am going to keep having the same issue. guess i'll just plan a week in flip flops after each major trek.
