Tarp Line

[Bevin]

I think most people who line up early are with large crews and are taking turns so that they don't miss too much music.  Personally, I think getting in line before the music is over is craziness.  But it's there for those who really want to do it.

It sounds like bernar has his own solution - get plenty of sleep, make new friends, surf some tarps and have a great time.  You don't have to do the line thing and you can still have a terrific spot, a great time and get as close as you want from time to time anyway.  And you can stroll by the Funny Line People and make fun of them at all hours. 

The line isn't totally necessary and it isn't for everyone, that's for sure.  But if you have a cooperative group and have your system down, you can get a nice spot every day.  That's more important for some people than for others. 

For my crew, the line is a tradition.  We don't miss the music, but we take turns getting in line so that we can get our exact same spot each year.  Not close to the same spot - I'm talking the EXACT same spot.  And if you've ever come to hang out at our spot during the festival, you'd understand why we love it.

Up front and center is really important to some,, that would be me. Ya know why?

I really just want to emers myself in that moment. I don't to talk or eat or sleep or drink or all those other things that other folks are doing. I just really am there for just the music. Just wanna bask in it, be it.

well you better jump on in line behind me and wilco!

I like the tarp line for the first two days, but if you get too WASTED 5 am is too early to get up!

I totally agree with Cindy Lou with her response of blah blah blah.
Perfect!

Ladies and gentleman...we need to get our heads on strait in regards to the Tarp Line.  I largely blame Planet Bluegrass for their Nixon-like deregulation practices.  In my opinion, Planet Bluegrass needs to actually enforce some rules in this process. 

1- There needs to be a set, specific time that people are allowed to line up in the tarp line and that MUST BE ENFORCED.

2- People cannot be allowed to sleep in the tarp line AT ALL.  Although this is already a rule, it is not enforced at all and it MUST BE ENFORCED.

3- You must be present in your spot the entire time that you are occupying that spot.  I walked past the "tarp line" in the middle of the day and it stretched all the way back to the end of the volleyball court and there was a total of 6 people ACTUALLY in there spots.  It MUST BE ENFORCED that you are physically in the line.

4- People need to realize that missing a ton of acts in order to get a good spot in the tarp line is absolutely rediculous.

Ultimately, it's all about Planet Bluegrass's lack of enforcing rules in the tarp line.  This is something that really needs to be addressed and is a thorn in the side of the festival.

But anyhow, besides this, Telluride rocks.  Cheers.

1. 12:00 Day before, otherwise known as high noon.  We work as a team.  Team building is good, we're part of the solution or problem, one large family trying to come together, thanks for trying.

2.  Sleep may be highly overrated but not as overrated as sickness.  Sleep when you can even though you will sleep when you're dead.

3. Allow pee break etc. 5min. max. or your stuff gets tossed, not in river.

4.  We are mostly self regulating.  "Mostly," because occasionally people break the rules, their stance untenable, yet their resolve knotted in self-righteousness.

Did you say Freebornman?
Nixon was one of two non-freemason Presidents; Obama?
Don't believe the hype, believe the positive . . . why misconstrue it'll make you more than just you blue.
