Hydrate Like a Champ: Don't Forget Your Water Bottles

Listen up, folks. Bring a reusable water bottle. Austin's hotter than two squirrels in a wool sock in October. Shade's limited, so you'll be guzzling water like Antifa does fake news. Water stations are everywhere. Make sure your bottle's empty at entry. Even CamelBaks are allowed, but dump the liquid first — no socialist soup for you!

Pro-tip: Electrolyte packets are your friend. They're allowed and a lifesaver on hot days.
