1. If you arrive at the festival early, expect the campgrounds to get very, very dark at night. If you live far away from
urban areas, this won't come as a shock to you, but city dwellers might find this odd. There aren't any skyscrapers or other
forms of "light pollution" in Bushnell, so until the site really fills up, you will probably need a flashlight to
get around at night.( HINT: If you own a telescope, this would be a great place to bring it.)
2. Do not expect attendees to look the way that you think that Christians "ought" to look. Teeny weenie bikini
tops and amazing piercings are common at Cornerstone, as are tatoos, blue hair, and mullets. (HINT: The fest asks that people
dress modestly: try leaving the teeny weenie bikini's at home, and go for a more modest t-shirt or even a midriff-covering
tank top. It's a matter of good manners and sensitivity to others.)
3. Expect to have to dodge golf cards driven by people who should never have been given a driver's license. (HINT: watch
where you are going while walking on the roads.)
4. Expect a lot of loud music being played very late at night (HINT: camp far away from the music tents if you absolutely
have to stick to a sleep schedule).
5. Expect rude people to set off fireworks, bottle rockets, and other loud and dangerous devices in camping areas. (HINT:
This sort of behavior is no laughing matter. Report these people to Cornerstone security.)
6. Expect that the weather will be "wet", no matter what the temperature. In other words, if it is "hot"
it will be hot and humid. If it is "cold" it will be cold and moist. (HINT: Try and pack clothing in natural fibers
(i.e. cotton) which will "breathe".)
7. Expect to find God at Cornerstone. Just not in the places you would expect to see him. (HINT: Keep your eyes and ears
open at all times. . .you might be surprised.)
