This whole tarp thing has me confused.

Crunchy Frog is a fictional confection originating from a Monty Python sketch titled "Trade Description Act", inspired by the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 in British law.
Mr. Milton, the owner of the Whizzo Chocolate Company (Terry Jones) is approached by two members of the Hygiene Squad, Inspector Praline (John Cleese) and Superintendent Parrot (Graham Chapman). The officers confront him about the odd flavours that are used in the Whizzo Quality Assortment, and cite inadequate descriptions of his products as a violation of the Trade Descriptions Act. They ask him to explain the confection labelled "Crunchy Frog". Milton describes it as an entire frog that has been coated with chocolate, using only "the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose." Circular logic is used to explain why the bones aren't taken out: "If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?"
Other questionable items include the Cherry Fondue, which is "extremely nasty", but not worthy of prosecution, Ram's Bladder Cup (made from "fresh Cornish Ram's bladder, emptied, steamed, flavoured with sesame seeds whipped into a fondue and garnished with lark's vomit"), Cockroach Cluster, Anthrax Ripple, and Spring Surprise (chocolate wrapped around two stainless steel bolts that "spring out and plunge straight through both [of the victim's] cheeks"). At the end of the scene Milton is arrested, and the Superintendent, who has been vomiting during the entire conversation (having sampled the Crunchy Frog and some of the others), faces the camera and warns the public to "take more care when buying its sweeties".
A later sketch in the same episode features a North American Indian, played in stereotypical fashion by Eric Idle, eating a Crunchy Frog and indicating approval.



Memories from long ago college Sunday nights also know as hash night.

so. am i correct in believing that there will be peoples tarps placed all the way to the front of the stage? and not designated dancing area where people wont be mad im dancing like a loon.

While things do work out the vast majority of the time, it's not always unicorns and butterflies with tarp situation up front.   During the day, there's often giant swaths of tarp space that you're welcome to occupy while "owners" are away.   Have NEVER had this sort of problem, but wound up getting into it with someone last year during Peter Rowan while I was dancing like a loon in between SBD and stage.   A "type 1" guy -- who was almost directly in front the SBD (back against the fence) -- kept dispatching his wife to get everyone in front of him who was dancing to sit down, but I wasn't "complying" & he got very confrontational ... it went on and on.   I kept dancing, but it was very tense & my loon dancing adopted a martial art defense aspect to it.   If I were at a show somewhere else, I'd most likely would have left and found a spot with "better energy" (even far off in the back), but something inside of me would not let that happen:  Peter Rowan is by far my favorite,  the amount of empty space up front was significant, and the way in which they approached me wasn't very cordial (to say the least).

Gonna try somethin brand new. Walk in and sit down. Sounds like a solid plan.

Be polite if my butt is bouncin my name is Free Range Mary, got tarp?

For years we secured optimum tarp position and it was dusty but groovy. A few years back I wanted the full meal deal. So I moved back and the sound is amazing. Who knew. The field is sloped, who knew the sound and the visuals were outstanding.

Walkin in and sitting down. No tarp plan and I will let you know how it rolls.

With so many empty seats all the time, I will  simply sit down.
And it cracks me up all these folks who think they actually own real estate. ONE NATION!

Respect for others, friendly and polite. The only things required to join my tarps in the past but noticed the last few years a shift in social behavior. A girl, chain smokin and her back to me, like I was invisible for an entire set. I felt so cheap and used.

I say all non dancer to the rear! LET''S GET JIGGY WIT IT! No kung foo FOM! I wanna see a clip of that

If folks want to sit and watch the show, they should go see a movie.  It is farcical to expect or ask a fellow concert-goer to sit while the music is playing. 

Sitters yield to dancers in a concert setting.   If you want to sit and there's someone dancing in front of you, you should get off your rear and move to another seat.

RG? Rocky Grass?

Tickets and camping for the 46th Annual RockyGrass - July 27-29, 2018 - are on sale now at shop.bluegrass.com or 800-624-2422.
Late every July the small mountain town of Lyons, Colorado becomes the center of the bluegrass universe as generations of legends and future-legends and Festivarians converge under the red rock cliffs of the St. Vrain River. Originally founded by Bill Monroe and members of the Colorado Bluegrass Music Society, today's RockyGrass is known internationally as one of the great traditional bluegrass festivals. After 2014's rebirth celebration -- held just 10 months after historic 500-year floods devastated the town of Lyons -- RockyGrass has become a symbol of Lyons' strength and resiliency.

Bluegrass aficionados there will not tolerate such rude behavior as Mr. Bevin and Mr. Mars described. Finally a place where someone isn't standing in my view.

How did this person manage to chain smoke in the crowd without setting something on fire, like herself?
Agreed, there are a few folks who attend the festival that could use a lesson in respect. Maybe invite them up to RAM for a glass of frog?

RG a tad stiff fer sure but there is a time and a place for everything. I can appreciate sitting, more and more so moving over and over again to accommodate a dancer seems to accommodating to me a dancer! Ying/Yang.

Be polite and conscious of others. I told Ms Jaci to bring her squirt gun and she snaped I do not participate in such a thing and dont squirt me. LOL

Be kind but have fun!

Up to the Vets to teach they were not around when love was the theme

[completejohn]

Bevin is right about dancing.  But please don’t stand in front of me and blab away while ignoring the music.  If ya wanna blab please move to the side so the rest of us can enjoy the music.
