Doctor's Note!

Next time you're thinking of going to an event such as a music festival, make sure you bring a note.  Yeah, I know this can be kind of weird, bringing a note to a concert. Well, I did it -When the "Gentlemen of the Road" tour came my way -aka the Mumford & Son's Music Festival.  I knew I was going to be in some trouble with getting food, but to my surprise the festival let ticket holders know that if they had any food allergies to bring a doctors note.  They asked for you to present your note to any entrance guide and you would be allowed to bring your own food into the venue.  So, I asked my doctor to write a note and the rest is history.  It was great to have access to the concert field which happened to be an all day and night 2 day event and not have to worry about food.  The festival was great I was always with food and even tried a few food stations within the concert that accommodated my allergy greatly.  I even got a few bun-less burgers on the house from a cute cashier who suffered from the same Gluten allergy I did.  Thanks again Mumford & Son's for making my weekend stress free and musically sound.  Other artists and festivals should continue to follow your lead.  Since the event I have even used a note at the movies and other events with success.  Don't be afraid to shout it out that you suffer from this allergy.  People are starting to recognize what challenges we go through and are more than happy to accommodate you -remember you are the consumer and they want you there.  You don't have to stay at home anymore.  And to all of you who have always hesitated when making plans like this and thinking how you would stay fed, get a doctors note and know that you can always stay full.  Cheers!
