What's this tarp business?

[Auntie Hope]

Which brings us full circle........

Trixiemt75,
Tarp business is all about having fun, gutters not withstanding. You're going to poke fun, have fun poked at you, and just have a wonderful time watching tarps be throw or throwing one down your self. It's your pad for the day, the roof over your head at night and it's an art called tarpology (see festival dictionary). It's Tarp Business, and it all happens at FESTIVVVAAALLL!!!

... yes, I know... I said poke, twice.... because once is never enough!

[johnny]

so is there an area where no tarps are allowed that is set aside for gettin' down?  There are some shows i just can't sit down for. 

Thanks!

There are areas off to the sides and behind the sound tower that always have dancers.

[johnny]

that was ninja quick!  thanks, i just thought of that and it was a burning question.

so it sounds like nightgrass is where the serious gettin' down gets done?

[Hot Sugar]

Nightgrass and any of the late night sets. Once the sun goes down, a lot of the tarps come up.

OK, so here's the deal.  Who wants to make a quick $100 bucks?  Not getting in till Thursday afternoon all of a sudden and would like a great spot for my family and I.

  We'll have a good size "Heartlander" tarp going.  You're welcome to share with us!   I'm sure we can get something worked out by the FULL MOON of FESTIVAAAL.
A round of RANGERS goes a long ways with our crew. Just sayin'.    (how many is family?)

[HuckinFappy]

My festival family is only about 1000 people or so.  Have room for us too?

[swander99]

  Why yes we do!  There's nothing but tarp around us.  Share and share alike!

At the most..6 at one time...usually just two at a time  though.  If you have a big enough area, that would be the most amazing thing ever.  I will buy MANY A RANGER!!!!  I was heartbroken to know that we weren't arriving till around noon Thursday.  Send me a private message if you are sure this would not be a burden.  We are very kind midwestern folks that will surely be peaceful and respectful--completely understand if accommodations can not be met on your tarp--would gladly compensate generously (with $$ or multiple Ranger trips! for a tarp to be be laid for us.

And Mel, I've never heard you complain about my bacon and Crunchy Frog...probably because you were gagging.

gagging...on what???

Whoa!  And Billy B goes there!!  I was waiting to see who would take it to the gutter.  Thank you Billy.

Of course it had to go there - I've seen Mel drink numerous Crunchy Frog shots and not once did she gag. Of course I can't say I've witnessed her with your bacon...

AND BILLY B SCORES AGAIN FOLKS! WHAT A DAY! WHAT A DAY! THAT'S 2 GUTTERBALLS IN ONE THREAD IN CASE YOU'VE LOST COUNT! YES COUNT 'EM ALL! ONE - TWO GUTTERBALLS!! GO BILLY! G BILLY! GO BILLY! GO BILLY!

Hooch, did you really have any doubt? He's the master of this game. 

Auntie Hope 

I think Billy was still ridin' high from that Sammy show a couple of nights earlier.

Here is another awesome Tarp Run video from 2009- of course this is also currently on the bluegrass.com home page. You will notice our bacon lovin' friend Hooch around 2:08. For you newbies, he is wearing tie-dye long johns.

peace!

BUMP for the Newbies!!! 

[fundirector23]

This will be my third TBF--but I am trying with all of my mite to be there for my FIRST Tarp Run!!!  Come on LUCK!  Until then, my graces are extended to Swander for possibly letting the fiance and I join his crew should we miss it.  Hurry up June!~

[Mel]

You all should know better than to provoke and/or taunt Billy B.  It's a no-win scenario and he will go after your eyeballs and/or ankles....kind of like a preturbed aging Beagle with a licking fixation.

I can vouch for the Beagle...
