About the only way to eliminate the "chatters" in the tapers section would be to tether the mic's 20 feet above the crowd on helium balloons. The problem with this, is there's no way to control the direction they're pointing. EEK!

You can stroll in leisurely after the rush and have excellent seats. The rush is overrated.

Who are you and why do you sound like my therapist??   huh huh  The tarp run is the single greatest experience of the entire festival and if you are a newbie, you absolutely MUST NOT miss it.  If you aren't hooked after the first day, then you can sleep in after that.  But I invite you to come join me, and see what all the fuss is about.   Wink Wink Wink

this man tunes the system for you:


And does a FINE job in one of the most challenging acoustical environments i've ever listened in.  When the wind starts whipin, and the rain is fallin, it's really amazing walking down the path past the beer tent, hanging out in town, sometimes even up in the mountains......   

Not a bad seat in the "house"!!!    Medal Medal Medal Medal


Also, I second the thanks of the taper section LuAnna!!  Thumbs Up

WHAT?????  The tarp run isn't just about good seats.  It's also about meeting new friends in line and planning the run strategy together, pumping up the excitement for another day of festivating, and experiencing the stomach-churning thrill of sprinting while hung over after only 3 hours of sleep. 
and then passing out  Sleep

I'm bummed. It'll be my first time and I'll barely be walking by then from Fiddle knee surgery, much less running. Hope my traveling partner can pick up the slack...

travelin partner here....  let's see how it stacks up.  I'm 2 feet BELOW sea level.... tride is a like 1 or 2 feet above sea level ..... i'm fat... w/ nightgrass tickets.....therefore it looks like we'll be in the back of the seating area.  We'll give it hell though.

Hi Hope.  Yeah, Daniela and I are typically the runners for Utarpia every morning.  But Daniela is the primary runner.  We'll be helping Run-A-Muck some this year though (line sitting and maybe running), so hopefully CSI Mike (of Utarpia) has been getting his running legs in shape.  Did you here that CSI????

Bobby, that was FUNNY!!  Don't worry about it.  You only have to haul ass for about thirty seconds!  Then you can have a heart attack and die.  We all do.   strong strong strong

Don't be bummed, Vin.  You can sit on our tarp!  Bring a wheelchair, and you can run interference for me.    Clap Clap

You're right, it is! I've been doing it for the last 10 years and wouldn't trade it away for anything. I was just trying to say that you could still get a decent seat even if you didn't partake in the rush. It's more the late afternoon line forming that peaves me but let's not get started on that (or I may need to see your therapist!)
