Rockfest Kansas City (unofficial) Best Practices

• DO NOT wear flip-flops
• 
  
• DO NOT wear jewelry that you plan on wearing again
• 
  
• DO NOT wear sunglasses that you like and/or want to see again
• 
  
• DO NOT wear a hat that you like and/or want to see again
• 
  
• DO NOT CROWD SURF! This one I highly stress. I have seen more broken collar bones and/or concussions than I can remember. Not worth it. Don't do it. Note: This especially applies to girls. Ladies, if you crowd surf you will be all but raped. There are a ton of A-holes and Pervs in the crowd. They WILL try to violate you. If you break this rule, don't acted surprised. 
• 
  
• Crowd Surfing Exception: If you feel the need to get close to the stage (within 15 rows or so), the only chance you will have at getting out will be forward. You will have to crowd surf the final five or six rows. When you reach the front, security will grab you and help you over the fence (if you're lucky). When over the fence, walk toward the center of the stage and you will find an alley that will lead you to the back of the crowd.
• 
  
• DO NOT wait to pee. Figure on a minimum of fifteen minutes to navigate the crowd and make it into a port-a-potty. If you wait too long you will pee your pants!
• 
  
• Claustrophobia: This is an important one. If you are the slightest bit claustrophobic, STAY BACK FROM THE STAGE. There are 55,000 people there, and they all want to be close to the stage. Simple body motions are limited. I'm talking backs to chest. Shoulder to Shoulder, pee pee to pee pee. IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH PEOPLE IN YOUR PERSONAL SPACE I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU!
• 
  
• Leave your wallet in the car. Only bring what you need. 1. Your I.D. (Can be replaced, MUST have it to drink.) 2. Cash (Don't bother with the plastic, there's nowhere to use it.)

Things that WILL happen you can't get pissed about. 

• People getting in your way. (55,000 in a small place, deal with it.)
• Waiting in line. (Potty, food, beer) be patient
• Drunk people. (Everywhere, if you can't beat them, join them. You will have a lot more fun!)
• Beer spilled on you (It dries, I promise)
• Mosh Pits: Try to stay back, you will break a nose.
• Someone rubbing against your girlfriend (Chill, there are hotter girls than her here.)
• Getting kicked in the head/upper body (If you get close there are crowd surfers, be vigilant. Look out for you neighbors and they will look out for you.)
