Looking for a line sitter/tarp runner Friday/Saturday during the festival!!

[Hey Mary]

My group and I are all attending the festival for the first time. Sadly, we are NOT morning people. Therefore, I am in need of a line sitter/tarp run for our group on Friday/Saturday at the festival. We are staying at the Fairmont Hotel across from Town Park and will supply you with a tarp when we arrive in town on Thursday. You: Will have a cell phone and a willingness to help us newbies have an awesome experience. We: Will be generous in paying you for your time and will give you multiple high fives for your rock star deeds!  If interested, please email me at heymary21@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance!

  I think the best thing about this Fest is everyone after time develops their own strategies. Most Vets of this fest know that the line for the tarp is half the experience and almost a right of passage..lots of music and comradery in the line and can be fun.

Good luck friend!

Good luck Mary! If you can't find anyone to help in advance, keep your eye out during the fest. I've noticed several people selling their numbers around 30 minutes before the tarp run. I've been tempted while holding my 200+, but never pulled the trigger.

Thursday is an easier day to be a part of things if you're so inclined. It's a later start and there are fewer people are around, so if you're in the line by 6:00, you can still get under # 150 or so. The line and tarp run is a pretty cool scene- If you're gonna do it once, Thurs is definitely the day. 

Also, I don't think there is a Fairmont across from town park, so that might be worth checking into.

Hmmm.... I don't know how I feel about the money getting the sweet spot.
Thoughts, feelings!
I personally love the tarp line!

I know how I feel about it....

If we're going to accept and normalize paying people to take care of tarp runs for other people, then we also should have no complaints if they decided to rope off the first 20 feet for people who want to pay $$$$ to have "reserved tarps".   It's all just money ensuring good spots, right?

Don't want any newbies thinking it's cool to sell line numbers: it's not cool and not very festivarian (in my opinion)

Yeah, i think you are right. I know its possible but it just doesnt seem very festivarian. Wake up and do a tarp run kids, stop sleeping the festival away, sheesh

Hey Mary! It's one big dance party anyway really.

 Good luck and you guys stop messin with Mary's thread here.

A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

This. The whole tarp line process in general has never made any sense to me. Why you would have a system in place where people feel the need to have to miss out on music and miss out on all the shenanigans happening in the campgrounds and around town so they can "get a good number" is beyond me. Who really wants to spend their vacation sleeping in a line? I know this topic has been discussed at length and there are no easy solutions, just seems there has to be something better then when you're walking by Warner Field at 7pm on Friday and people are already in line for Saturday.
