for those of us newbies to the SBO

bus trip experience, please post some info on what we can expect. byob or booze for sale on bus? where buses are loading? can we leave items on bus during game? just one week away and I don't know anything about what is going on except that i'm pumped up to get on the road and start the ride. i know you guys are super busy organizing the whole thing so no worries if you can't take time out now to answer questions right now. maybe other posters who have been on previous trips can offer some insight.
