No boots or hats then Debbie ? Even so, surely not boring  :)

Dont you wear riding gear in your spare time ?

I(ts tough when something is on the ground (terminal Velocity) ususally its used for things in the air?
in order to find the terminal velocity, a drag coefficient (Cd) is required. Examples of approximate drag coefficients include: laminar flow on flat plate (0.001), aircraft (0.03), smooth ball (0.1), bullet (0.3), car (0.3), cyclist or skier (1.0), brick (2.1).
The density of air at sea level is ~1.5 kg/m³), and the strength of gravity is 1 g (or 9.80665 m/s²).
We need to make a snowball then find a drunk cop who will let us use his radar detector.
Then we can make different sized snow balls and have our "Telluride Tequila Snow Ball races" I think more importantly for safeties sake is how big will the snow ball be at the bottom of the mountain?

the snowball might be very large, considering its source point. I wonder what effect the altitiude might have on the  ultimate ternimal velocicity. But then, since we we are talking about June, would the density of the hurled material have some effect on the actual terminal velocity of the thrown object?

Just wondering.

Gentleman, the one factor you have both over-looked is asked in the following question:

Is the material in question being hurled by a Banjo Player or a Mandolin Player?  The velocity of the hurled object will be affected by the counter balance in the musician's other hand or restriction of arm movement placed upon the hurling arm by any given neck strap of said intruments.

Would anyone else like to continue the discussion should picks or, worse yet, finger picks become involved?

Let me add, without bias (and please don't get your feelings hurt or call me):
If one were thinking of making the attempt to measure the velocity of an object being hurled by Ryan Adams, don't bother. The damn thing just won't fly.

Ah Yes you are correct!
But what we would have would be an instant sensation!

i am a total NEWB and have a question. :)

"dancing and hula hooping permitted in designated areas..."

just where are these areas?  i am a total dancer.  and if you are sitting on a tarp and feel like getting up to dance, how far must one go?

thanks!

There's an area just off the left side of the stage.
It's not far, and you can still see the action. Flower

Is anyone else out there travelling light ? We're coming from the UK and will have miniumum gear so will we be put in a corner as "Inadequately Equipped" for others to laugh at ?

We're coming from the UK too. In a moment of giddiness last night we decided, sod it, let's go. So you won't be alone in the "Inadequately Equipped" corner.

And at the late night sets (i.e. Sam Bush, Leftover Salmon...) everyone is up and dancing  dancing
