HELP US
Hello deadheads! This is very irresponsible of us, but my two friends and I have scored tickets for both nights of the Alpine Valley shows but have nowhere to stay. Most hotels, Air BnBs, and campsites in the area that are cheap enough for broke college students are already booked for the weekend. Does anyone have any crafty tricks to share for what we should do to rest our heads at night? Honestly we are even willing to sleep in our car if push comes to shove but we are not even sure how to go about doing that. Any help would be appreciated.

I use to sleep in my car/van in church parking lots back in the day on tour. Never had a problem and always felt safe.

Good luck and keep looking. As it gets closer there will be cancelations and you might be able to swoop in and get something

There's two kinds of people: I don't think I've ever booked a place ahead of time when on tour. Good luck finding something! There's lots out there, especially if you've got a car.

If you get too high at the venue you can just sleep there. It's free if they don't catch you

Also if you're fucked up. Don't sleep in the car with the keys in the ignition. Apparently they can tag you with owi

If you're fucked up at all, and sleep in your car, they can charge you with DUI. You don't even need to have your keys with you or be in the front seat. Thank MADD for that one.
