:wave Hi Y’all
this was my first time in TP and had a great time got there on tues am and was overwhelmed with the fact that most folks arrived on friday of the previous week I found a spot in primitivie camping far from bathroom and shower but all in all a great time… nice neighbors too!!
is this the norm in TP to come friday or sat to set up? i still saw tarps on sunday night ( the last day) of fest still not used. hey to everyone if you have your spot then lets others use the area too…it makes for happy festavarians!! :flower Tess
We often have a few tarps down for our late-comers but - except for this year by happenstance - always accept newcomers - all they have to do is ask if we have space. :wave
We bend over backwards to accommodate and welcome them with offers of food, drink :cheers and bad jokes :lol And more often than not, we’ve made new friends, ones who get a reserve tarp thrown for them for the next year’s festival if need be.
Me festivarian bio says: “Annecdote: the very first people I met in Town Park (@ Site #28!!!) my first year are still the same people I camp with every year!!!” We just asked if they had space – that was 13 years ago – now they’re family. :flower
After 10 -11 years of TBF from town, left town to travel. Met wife, came back w/ her after being in Ca. for summer of festivals, camping, work, and looking for a better living spot than Telluride. Rather than stay w/ friends we landed in Town Park just before FESTIVALLLL and wound up close to the front line under the largest pine. Nestled in w/ a little kitchen and such fine neighbors Steve and ____(haven’t seen since then) and Bob and Denise from Chi-town. Unfortunately Brandy (Wifey) was w/ cold, fortunately w/ our first child. I made alot of trips from vendors to camp to tarp to vendors to tent to tarp to tent to vendors. . . Love Town Park during Bluegrass, good use. Always good to ask if there is space, esp. since there is.
:wave will try that next year if I can get TP ticket,just ASK a festivarian if there is a space available 
I really had a great spot though. right on the water will a primo view and great acoustics!!!
LOOKING FORWARD TO 2010 Tess :flower
