RockyGrass meetup for Twitter?

[Mel]

Hi all,

I am basically a RG virgin and I'm attempting to help the twitterverse figure out where to put together a meet up.  Any suggestions within grounds?  In Lyons?  I heard that Wild Bill's is great - and they have a senior discount!!

Oscar Blues is a great place to meet up with other festavarians.
just a few short blocks away planet bluegrass ranch and  Bohn park

Helloooo Mel!  Bill is right....Oskar Blues is a good spot.  The festival grounds tends to not have great cellphone coverage by the way.  My iPhone had little or no service last year.  But, if you walk about 3 steps out of the grounds then you have great service.

Cool!  We're leaning toward on grounds, we're hoping to be able to get a larger turnout.  My initial thought was over by the beer tent, semi-close to the practice stage, etc.  I've only been once, so my memory is hazy.

Someone else also suggested Wild Bill's - apparently they have a senior discount.

I also recommend Oskar Blues they are sponsers of Planet Bluegrass and have a killer bluegrass jam on Tuesdays.

[Boogiefool]

All being well, the Brit contingent will be climbing off their plane and heading straight for Oskar Blues on Tuesday.

Does anyone know how many beer tents there are?  I only remember the one by the hula hoops.  Is there a layout mapping of the grounds anywhere?

Sheesh! I think I'll just say I'll be the one in the hippy skirt dancing to music - just come and say hi!

Basically a virgin?  hmmmm   didn't know that was possible

[Mel]

I akin it to being a 'born again virgin'.  You're right.  I'm not a virgin.  SIGH. 

Perhaps simply 'Novice', 'green bean', 'new recruit' would have been more fitting. 

We decided to meet at 5pm on Friday at the WildFlower Pavilion.  Join us to say hi.  I don't know what to expect, but I'm thinking there will be beer within 50 feet or so, hula hoops, and I heard there might be some bluegrass music goin' on.

I will be making my rounds at the world of beer (tents) too.  Hope to see you there!

Hi back at ya!!!

Y'all should give Wild Bill's a chance.  I live right behind the Outlaw and personally, it's my bar of choice.  For one, they have a wider beer selection...  And their menu is much more affordable.

Is there a place where everyone has posted their Twitter links?  Mine is twitter.com/garian of course.

These are also of interest, I'm sure:

Hi there!  We talked about Wild Bills and Oskar Blues, but opted to stay onsite for the tweetup.

We're posting miscellaneous banter using #rockygrass #tweetup.

Hope to see you there!!
