LIB pro tip: Find cheap beers and ‘secret’ shows at the Bunkhouse

Turns out Life Is Beautiful's west-side entries won't be your the only way in and out of the festival. The renovated Bunkhouse Saloon, host to acts like Built to Spill, The Breeders and Bob Mould since reopening in August, will have its own "back door" to LIB, a gate next to the Ambassador Stage at the east end of Fremont Street.

Anyone with a festival wristband can access the Bunkhouse through that portal by picking up a free Bunkhouse wristband there any time after 5 p.m., Friday through Sunday. Why go? A blast of air conditioning, for one, along with charging stations and free wi-fi. Also, the Bunkhouse will offer drink specials—$3 Dos Equis, $5 Jack Daniels, $5 Kettle One—along with the rest of its drink and (surprisingly addictive) food menu.

And there's this: The Bunkhouse promises to announce "some very special, super-secret, surprise after party shows featuring top LIB artists. These shows will be announced by the artists during their festival performances, and the news will then come to you via all Bunkhouse social media channels and any other rooftop we can shout it from."

In case anyone out there's taking requests, here's one for TV on the Radio, after OutKast closes out the main fest on Saturday.
