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!!
Mel
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. :thumbsup
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!
Yes…There is the one by the hula hoops… the only one in the festival grounds
and mabe a 100 more little beer tents in the campground… :lol
and…HI :wave
Basically a virgin? hmmmm didn’t know that was possible :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
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!!! :thumbsup
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!!
