Plan Your Visit

The Old Cabin

The main headquarters for the weekend, the cabin is where most people will be hanging out during the day. There are several spots available to set up a cot or sleeping bag on the floor. The loft can hold three to four grown men, and we can pack in another three to four downstairs. An old cast iron stove is available for warmth if it gets too chilly at night.

You will be the first awake, as we'll be banging around pots and pans early to get breakfast started.

This cabin was originally constructed in the late 1840s and has not been fully restored yet. There are no windows, insulation, and hardly any light. It's dusty, but we'll do our best to address that. Once we get a fire going inside, it becomes very cozy.

An outhouse is located nearby for those sorts of purposes.

The Campgrounds 

There are several cleared areas around the cabin that can be used to pitch a tent or hang a hammock. These spots are first come first serve. Electricity may be available depending on how close you are to the power pole. 

Pass out on the Ground 

Of course, anyone is able to just collapse on the ground and sleep where they wish. When this has happened in the past, we have made sure to remove your shoes and put a blanket on you. A goodnight smooch on the forehead must be booked in advance.

In your Car

One of the more classically comfortable options after a day of partying and carrying on and whatnot. If you plan on sleeping in your car we will direct you to designated camping/parking space. 

The Fields

After unloading you will be directed by staff to park your car away from the main events. There will be several designated spots in a nearby field. An old tractor shed is also available for covered parking. 

If you plan on sleeping in your vehicle, we will direct you to one of the nearby campsites for parking and setup. 

Here is a list of what you'll need for the Hangover Games during a warm mid-October in Alabama:

In mid-October, Cooper's Bottom typically hangs onto summer longer than we'd like, meaning we'll be dealing with some classic Alabama heat this year. You can expect warm daytime highs often pushing into the low-to-mid 80s°F, we will try to stick the outdoor events in the shade. Evenings do eventually cool off once the sun goes down, but the afternoons will feel warm and humid. Pack light clothes for the day and something to layer with at night. Some folks have been known to remove most of their clothing during particulary competitive games, an intimidation tactic as well as a way to stay cool. 

• Beverages and Snacks - Please feel free to bring any additional snacks or beverages that would make your stay more comfortable.

• Clothing for Cool Weather: Pack layers to stay warm. A few long-sleeved shirts, a jacket or hoodie, and pants are a good idea.

• Sturdy Shoes: We'll be running around the woods, swinging axes, and building fires, so a pair of trail shoes or boots is appropriate.

• Spare Clothes: Be sure to bring a spare change of clothes, including extra socks and shoes.

• Essential Gear: A flashlight is a must-have for navigating in the dark.

• Sleeping Equipment: Depending on where you plan to sleep, pack a cot, sleeping bag, or blankets and a pillow to stay comfortable.
  
  

Prohibited Items

We have a strict "no discharging of firearms" policy during the games. At the least, firearms must remain stored in your vehicle for the duration of the weekend. 

What is the cost?

$50 if you're feeling generous. I don't like dealing with this stuff. 

Do I need to print my ticket?

There are no tickets. Just show up on time at 8:30 am on Oct 17th to play. Oct 16th for the early birds. 

What happens on Friday?

We all work to get everything set up and then sit down for a steak and martini dinner to celebrate. 

Do I have to attend on Friday?

No, that pre-event is completely optional. 

Do I have to spend the night?

No, but we will have to ensure that you are safely able to drive. Otherwise, your keys are getting put into the freezer.

Is there cellphone service?

Yes...mostly, if you are on the ATT network or a network that uses their towers.  

Is there potable water at the cabin?

No, we'll be packing in all of our drinkable water. But, you can wash your filthy hands, face, and feet in the creek. 

Is there a bathroom?

Yes, there is an old outhouse if you really gotta take care of business. Otherwise, feel free to use a tree.
