If folks want to sit and watch the show, they should go see a movie. It is farcical to expect or ask a fellow concert-goer to sit while the music is playing.
Sitters yield to dancers in a concert setting. If you want to sit and there’s someone dancing in front of you, you should get off your rear and move to another seat.
Tickets and camping for the 46th Annual RockyGrass - July 27-29, 2018 - are on sale now at shop.bluegrass.com or 800-624-2422.
Late every July the small mountain town of Lyons, Colorado becomes the center of the bluegrass universe as generations of legends and future-legends and Festivarians converge under the red rock cliffs of the St. Vrain River. Originally founded by Bill Monroe and members of the Colorado Bluegrass Music Society, today’s RockyGrass is known internationally as one of the great traditional bluegrass festivals. After 2014’s rebirth celebration – held just 10 months after historic 500-year floods devastated the town of Lyons – RockyGrass has become a symbol of Lyons’ strength and resiliency.
Bluegrass aficionados there will not tolerate such rude behavior as Mr. Bevin and Mr. Mars described. Finally a place where someone isn’t standing in my view. :oconnor
How did this person manage to chain smoke in the crowd without setting something on fire, like herself?
Agreed, there are a few folks who attend the festival that could use a lesson in respect. Maybe invite them up to RAM for a glass of frog?
RG a tad stiff fer sure but there is a time and a place for everything. I can appreciate sitting, more and more so moving over and over again to accommodate a dancer seems to accommodating to me a dancer! :lol Ying/Yang. :lol :medal
Be polite and conscious of others. I told Ms Jaci to bring her squirt gun and she snaped I do not participate in such a thing and dont squirt me. LOL :lol :lol
Bevin is right about dancing. But please don’t stand in front of me and blab away while ignoring the music. If ya wanna blab please move to the side so the rest of us can enjoy the music.
Just re-read. Strangely enough, I had moved away from a another local who was hooting and clapping VERY loudly in a tourrettes sort of way. It was very distracting to me, but I could hardly begrudge him … and put that sort of thing into different category than being a “show talker”. So, wound up leaping out of the frying pan & into the fire.
There was a good 15 feet of open space behind me & in front of him … so it wasn’t as if I was in his space in the least bit. If I was aware that he was physically unable to stand, I wouldn’t have hesitated to find another spot. However, he clearly demonstrated this wasn’t the case by standing up and grabbing his private parts while giving me the finger. I’m actually slightly concerned of getting sucker punched or prodded this year … since he likely will not forget. The tension was that bad! … not sure I want to see a clip.
Or just get off your rear and dance too. I can’t sit, I get too stiff! And if it’s a low chair I’m stuck until someone helps me get of it. Old knees and bad hips do not combine well with low chairs. I sure don’t go to Telluride to sit when there’s amazing music on!
