Guest WaterBoy Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Okay, okay, maybe my comment was a bit wrong. You are recomended to eat to remain healthy. Food supplies may not be as much as you may be used to in the outside world. How much you eat depends on your metabolism and the energy you use each day at the show. Is that a better comment?

Moderators DavidB Posted April 13, 2005 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2005 Ooooh Red Bull .. tastes nice at first, then I realise how sick it tastes on its own, and then I become kinda numb to the taste n just drink it anyway if I have enough of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New advice... Chemical stimulants are bad. You will be on an adrenaline high, you do not need to be kicked any higher!! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IloveSpike Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I tend to survive on glucose tablets, boosts your energy really fast which is good (saves me fainting) only bad thing is you get a tad bit hyper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rain Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I don't eat in the evenings either. I basically eat nothing at all for 5 days. This is bad right? But your very good at throwing up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnick Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Other thoughts. Wear good comfortable shoes. You'll possibly be on your feet for 12 hours. Water. Water is good. It stops dehydration. Loo breaks. If you get a chance, take it. If you think you are going to need a loo break in half an hour's time, ask for it now. It may take half an hour to find a replacement for you, and you can't just wander off. Don't "do favours" for people in the queue if you have been given an instruction that you would have to break to do the favour. If you let one person, for example, push in, other people will expet to be treated the same, and will complain loudly and embarassingly when they are refused. Remember, people can't do the impossible. The hall gets very crowded, and just getting from one end of it to the other may take someone several minutes. If you need something fetching it will take time. If a guest is getting upseet because the impossible takes time make sure your pit boss (your immediate supervisor) knows about it too.

Persnickety Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Ummm, okay definately wear comfortable shoes, although remember that city ligts won't let you in with trainers, but they will let you in with bowling shoes on! (try and figure that one out!) Also, pack lots of pro plus and nuerofen. And always carry some sort of chocolate on you for those quick sugar highs. Although not in your back pocket, because then it just melts everywhere! Oh and listen to David B. Obviously. He's done quite a few of these now.

sarah-4-eva Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I always get friends who aren't crewing to bring me food, or my stomach would never forgive me I get it forced on me, hehehe. Although them friends are crewing this time round so.. I'm a bit f***ed lol Shoes, most importantly.. definitely. And try and eat something in the morning if you can. Collectormania is more stressful that lfacc, so if you havent worked before, keep in mind that it is going to be crowed. You can always help and tell people who are standing still, (at the end of crew lines) to move along.. :) It'll take a while to get through those crowds. Eek!

Dum dumdum Dum Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Ok the food thing is a total myth - I can attest that Tara and I really don't eat for like the whole time and if we do it isn't much HOWEVER there is McDs in the center for breakfast and Nandos so food is available it is just getting priorities right. Chocolate is your friend!!!! Alcohol - well as Davey said it is not good to wake up drunk BUT it sure beats a hangover!!!!! Tara is very very very good at throwing up - Absinthe works well! Sleep - people haven't mentioned the sleep thing. Basically not much of it happens. The times that we have actually been good (cough) and gone to bed we like haven't been able to sleep and end up in fits of laughter sooooooooooooo you might as well be out. The adrenaline rush is amazing even without the added Red Bull and Pro Plus (my stimuants of choice). On a more sad note - you will probably get a cold afterwards at about the same time that the depression sets in. There is not much to be done about it and just think of it as a reminder of the event and know that lots of other people are feeling it too! I was petrefied my first time but now I love it more than anything I can think of and being a part of the team is just WOW (oh sentimental moment!)
