I've never been. Won tix from @The_Buffalo. Thanks man!  I'm super excited.  Any tips you guys/gals can share?  Should I bring my own beer?  I saw pics of people sitting in lawn chairs.  Do people bring chairs?? I also saw a huge line to get in. Get there early?  Or a little late and don't wait in line?  What else?

    Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, and stay hydrated (not necessarily all beer)   As far as the lines, they move kind of quick.   I haven't brought a chair in years past    There are plenty of tables, chairs, etc. to sit on.   Oh yeah    Don't eat breakfast :)

    My first one this year.  I'd bring an umbrella since the hurricane is skirting by.  I'm bringing a collapsible chair that I can sling over the shoulder.  Bringing a 20 oz yeti to make drinking easy.

    The closest I'll ever be.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I was there a couple years back and they work the lines efficiently. Grab your swag bag and enjoy. Most don't bring chairs and coolers but when you see those that do you might wish you did. 

    We stayed for about 3 or 4 hours and had our fill and were quite full. I've done some cooks that have become favorites that were done at the Eggtoberfest so be sure to pick up recipes of your favorites. 

    The best part is in addition to the food is just the site of all those Eggs and the smell of all the smoke. 

    Be sure to see where Dr. BBQ and what he might be up to on the XXL egg.
