Sunny and hot at BamaJam
June 04, 2009
That rain the weather forecasters promised came in way early today and it has left us hot and sticky. One hour into the festival and my feet hurt, there is sweat running down my back and I am beginning to feel like it is BamaJam 2008.
Crowd keeps picking up. Long line to get in, but it flows pretty quickly. Long line at the ID checkpoint when you get in. Joe with BamaJam tells me they are sending in help. Right now only two people checking IDs. This is to get a “21 and over” wristband to buy alcohol.
Remember you cannot bring beverages into the gate ... keep them in your camper. If you have one with you, you have to pour it out at the gate. Also, do not forget your lawn chair, a hand-held spray fan (they are $6 out here), and sun screen.
Also an update, the kids zone area is $10 for a day pass. It is not free.
And, OMG, for you survivor fans, Survivor winner J.T. of Samson is at BamaJam with his very own T shirts that say, I love JT. He was parking his vehicle when I went by. I will drop by again.
The crowd continues to pick up. Traffic steady all day. My step-son said it took he and his wife 45 minutes to get in, longer than it took to get here from Dothan.
Gotta go meet the photographer.
Later
