Hey Bluegrass Geoff – thanks for the flagpole info. I’m sure we’ll figure it out closer to the fest along with the tarp scenario. Something tells me that closer to the date would be a better time to plot everything out. I will, however, still want to create a flag or some sort of “here we are” alert
I just also bought tickets for Rockygrass so I’m soberfesting the whole summer and very excited to be in mountainous CO vs. the urban jungle (which i do love in my special way as well
If you search for “flagpoles” in the TBF section of the forum, you’ll find some threads that give some good info on flagpole etiquette and how to play by the rules and stake out a tall pole! If you aren’t trying for a big space front and center, shouldn’t be that difficult to get a spot large enough to gather in the back areas amongst the shade tents! The Tarp Run sounds much more worse than it really is, pretty fun to watch though!
LOL! I will do a flagpole search and become educated on the art of such! Meanwhile, i actually watched some youtube videos of the Tarp Run (set to bullfighting music) and admittedly, it scared the X out of me :). We will be cool in the back…i’m thinking if we have a big turnout way up front, that could be a bit intense. Also, i can do my solo mini chair a-wandering this and get up close and only take up a tiny space…(shhhh…my secret…i use a childs chair and i’m very compact!)
Apparently you can’t go deep in the ground in town park so I found this…
We can weigh it down with something heavy and set up a spot large enough to gather in the back area amongst the shade tents, (per your suggestion - a great one). I could make a flag and find a pole in Telluride (hard to bring from NYC!)
what do you think ToddG…are we makin this happen ???
I will also ask bluegrassGeoff if he can store the pole stand in the office for us!
Wanted to see if you might be able to store this and a flagpole/flag for us at the fest…
i think it might be easier than taking it to and fro. Its better than having to dig into the ground and I saw another festivarian used it years ago when i searched Flagpole on the Festivarian forum! Also, stupid as it may seem, i cannot figure out how to address the whole soberfestivarians group on this…am i missing something? Seems like you have to write one person at a time?
Absolutely, we can either throw it behind the counter, under the trailer, or keep it locked inside. The Box Office is fairly close to the entrance and either me or one of my staff can help you carry it over in the AM if needed.
