With our headquarters right here in San Francisco, it seemed only natural to reach out to fellow locals (and non-local lovers of "The City") for their thoughts on the City by the Bay and one of its favorite festivals.

So, starting today, we'll post two questions a day on the Esurance Twitter feed, asking people for their insider opinions on San Francisco and Outside Lands. Anyone who opines using the hashtag #insideoutside will be automatically entered for a chance to win the Esurance Outside Lands VIP package.*

Some lucky Tweeter will score two three-day VIP tickets to Outside Lands, two Esurance shuttle passes for each day, $100 in meal tickets, and two backpacks stocked with absolutely indispensable festival survival gear.

Esurance shuttles ease Outside Lands festival congestion
Esurance is going green by sponsoring a few alternate transportation options, including shuttles that will run back and forth from Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in the heart of San Francisco to the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival entrance in Golden Gate Park.

Concertgoers will also have to the chance to catch a ride on one of 10 Esurance pedicabs, which will sweep attendees from the park entrance to the festival and back for free. Learn more about the Esurance shuttles and free pedicabs here.
