Ok, I am old! How many quarters are required for a hot shower in Town Park!
I believe it’s $3 worth, 12, if they have not raised the price since last year. :cheers
12 coins for a shower! That’s kind of insane, does that mean people bring almost 200 quarters to festival?
Remind me to show you the dear little chunky Australian $2 coins one day…people of the USA, it’s time for change. ( you see what I did there, very good Lesley, quite funny)
Talking of showers is it going to rain, like a lot? That weather forecast is worrying me. And I don’t have gum boots or anything that makes sense in a storm really.
Though I guess torrential rain will reduce the need for quarters!
Not too many days away now, hurrah, 
Yep! We bring quarters if we want a hot shower. And there is a method to the madness. Since you only get 5 minutes, you lay out all your soap, shampoo, etc… beforehand, undress, pump in your quarters, then jump in, lather up as quick as you can, then save a minute or two for rinsing off.
There are other options. You could always stand under the waterfall or jump in the river, if you don’t mind the cold. But the best option is to find someone renting a condo, and use their shower!
Bring some of them coins. We can compare them to the Canadian ones. When they first issued a dollar coin in Canada, they put a loon on the front, so people started calling them “loonies”. Years later they came out with a $2 coin, so everyone calls them “dubloonies”. I am sure you aussies have some creative names for your coins.
And with rain in the forecast, would highly recommend you bring a good pair of boots, plenty of socks, and a good poncho, or mac. It will get plenty muddy if it rains a lot. :cheers
Oh crikey, I’m already here with none of that stuff. Looks like a shopping thing ahead
Thanks!
Here in O-town, we call them “twonies” (pronounced “too knees”) not “dubloonies”. where the heck are you from?
Quebec
oh i thought you were from Canada :evil
/jk of course.
personally never heard anyone call them “dubloonies” but anything is possible
F*ck yeah you are old! You old older guy you. You are so old that you make dirt look like puppies…or something like that…I lost my train of thought here. Can’t wait to tequila with you!
Woo hoo! Hooch! We are packed…that means there is s*#t all over the house and garage in no particular order…think I will just scoop it up and get an Uber to take us to Town Park! Quarters are packed and ready! Hooch are you sure you made enough Crunchy Frog??? :pirate
Bit of a challenge to stock up on US quarters up here north of the border. I’ll try to find some in Denver or on the drive down to Telluride.
Ya, any bank should be able to help you out with this one.
Ol Pirate, he has more than last time you were here, but he has created a lot of followers who are all thirsty for some of the nastiest swill they’ve had all year. It’s as if they like the stuff!! I think he’s coming up short … :rolleyes
Goodness Lesley, 200 quarters? How many showers you taking? My first year I brought 2 rolls of quarters (that’s $10 each roll ;)), and I was so concerned I’d run out that when I got home I still had 2 rolls! I think I took a shower that year, but I don’t remember where. :eek :hooch
It looks like you may miss the greatest chance of rain on Saturday. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, as long as you have some type of rain jacket. If that hurricane pumps in a lot you can get something in town.
I made enough to make your $3 dollar showers an adventure!!
Lesley, I’ve quite literally got you “covered” in terms of a rain jacket. Just make sure you’ve got some decent shoes - much harder to loan you those…
Or, we’ll do a little shopping trip one day when we’re hiking the Bottleworks Trail into town.
Showers ? we don’t need no stinkin’ showers
we are showered with festivarian love…
note to self: stink = shower time :lol
Ok good, so remember, if I drop the soap…whatever I do…don’t bend over to pick it up! :pirate
The last few years the Camp Host has had quarters for sale (at cost). But it is always a safe bet to bring your own. :thumbsup
That’s quite true in Quebec!
