Eating: 

It's hard for a Dino to go hungry at Something Else. But it can happen. How? Forget a plate and utensils and a grumbly belly will be your sad reward.

We try to keep costs as low as possible. Part of how we do this is by not purchasing disposable plates, bowls, or cups and paying for the resulting trash hauling and disposal fees. 

Bring a plate and/or bowl, silverware, and a cup to enjoy family-style meals and drinks at our bars. 

We don't have plates or silverware you can borrow. We really don't have a super secret stockpile–don't ask and don't simply help yourself to something you see in the Staff Kitchen.

Enjoy Family-Style Meals:

We start serving dinner Thursday night and brunch Friday morning through Sunday night. We serve meals family style until we run out or until service is over: noon (brunch) or 9PM (dinner). 

• Thursday September 3 • 8pm - 9pm • Pulled Pork or Vegan Sloppy Joe Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls

• Friday September 4 • 11am – Noon • Nachosaurus, vegan cheese available. Bring a plate that won't melt when your breakfast is torched.

• Friday September 4 • 8pm - 9pm • Chicken or Tofu Thai Yellow Curry 

• Saturday September 5 • 11am – Noon • Wafflelord's Banquet, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free waffles available

• Saturday September 5 • 8pm - 9pm • Pasta Night, vegan marinara, vegan garden vegetable, beef ragu, or puttanesca sauce. Gluten-free penne available.

• Sunday September 6 • 11am – Noon • Biscuits and Gravy

• Sunday September 6 • 8pm - 9pm • Rice with your choice of chili–vegan, chicken, or beef (detailed ingredient list for all available below)

There's no provided meal on Monday.

Our Kitchen Krewe are volunteers– we want them to get back to partying with their friends as quickly as possible. Be nice to them.

We aim to feed 75% of everyone on site. Depending on when the majority of ticket sales happen, sometimes we feed less people–about 50%. 

• Choose either vegan/vegetarian or meat and your sides.

• If you'd like more food, get back in line for seconds.

Kitchen Krewe volunteers cannot give you both vegan and meat meals. Please don't ask, they can only say no and you'll make them sad. Feeding Dinos brings immense joy to the Kitchen Krewe. Buy tickets early so we can feed more people and be less sad. 

Kids Meals:

We don't have them. We serve communal meals buffet style to move our line quickly. 

Spicy entrees are spicy. Toppings are not a meal–they are for everyone.

If you have a picky eater, you may want to bring food for them. We have a Citizen Kitchen with camp stoves available for your use. Bring your own pots and cooking utensils as we won't be stocking those this year. 

There is no microwave available for attendee use.

Make Your Own:

We're in fire country so we take fire precautions pretty seriously. You can cook your own food: 

• on a flat surface like a picnic table with a fire extinguisher nearby in your camp or 

• in the Citizen Kitchen. 

The Citizen Kitchen

Behind the Staff Kitchen is our Citizen Kitchen. Here you'll find a lit, shaded area with a heat-resistant flat surface with two campstoves set up. 

You'll need to bring everything required to cook your meal–cutting boards, knives, pots, and other utensils–as we're not equipping it this year.

There's a sink for washing up as well as a dishwashing station for cleaning your dishes after communal meals. Please scrape your plates before washing and no grease down the sink drain.

There is no microwave available for attendee use.

Paco's Tacos is Back!

Dinos do love tacos! Paco's Tacos, our glorious truck full of feasts, is back on Saturday and Sunday! They will start serving at 6:30 pm, and will be there until they run out. Please bring cash, digital payments may not be avaliable!

Dietary Allergens:

Mendocino Magic is NOT a gluten-free or nut-free facility and cannot ensure that cross contamination will never occur. We have processes in place to prevent and/or minimize these occurrences. Volunteers make and serve meals, accidents can happen. Please direct all questions about dietary allergens to food@somethingelse.fun

When known, we post detailed ingredients for everything we serve during a meal. 

For some meals, exact ingredients won't be known until meal service. Double-check detailed ingredient lists provided on-site if you have allergies or food intolerances.
