here is the reality of the tarp nonsense. Some people actually sit in line during the night before, therefore missing the headliners they came here to see (although they can still hear them in line), just so they can be in front for the tarp run. They get a good tarp spot, then go home and sleep, since they were up all night. Those premium tarp spots are then open all day, and anyone is free to sit there, until they show up (and likely, even after, since everyone is so friendly!). Then when it gets dark, most tarps are stowed anyway, since most people stream up front to dance. So, to me, the tarp run is ridiculous. Gates open at 10. You can show up at 10:15 and walk right in and pick a great spot. Or, just go tarpless (bring a chair) and tarp surf all day to meet new people!!
The tarp run is a caucaphony of beauty and magic. To see so many people run into the field, bursting hearts and striped socks with flowing plastic capes is an event not to be missed.
Last year on the last day, a group of folks unfurled the largest tarp I’ve ever seen. Their precision was spectacular, and I’ve searched youtube all year for a replay. Even Run a muck was awestruck.
The best part, IS meeting and befriendng all the tarp surfers. There aren’t many other places on earth where you can meet so many fascinating people. :thumbsup
B.B…please coordinate with no show for a tarp folding demo for the benefit of those needing to see it with their own eyes.
Hooch: it is hard NOT to gag as your retinas are being seared by all of your coats (and shirts and underwear) of many colors.
Mel, I will do as you requested when you learn how to spell…cacophony.
Ummmmmmm…I…Uhhhh…See, right now would be the perfect time for Cruchy Frog to alleviate the sudden awkwardness!

Tee Hee…she said Billy had two gutterballs…tee hee…she said balls! 
:secret :giggle :eek :rolleyes
And Useless is putting a little presure on the reigning champ Billyberu!
Putting pressure on me? Thou, who after 700+ posts still doesn’t know how to quote, is putting pressure on the BillyBeru???
Grow up UJ, tricks are for kids. :lol
Just don’t gag on the tricks! :evil
I feel so cheap and ashamed… :sorry
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.
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!!! :thumbsup
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
… yes, I know… I said poke, twice… because once is never enough! 
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.
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?
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. :wave
:wave 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’. :cheers (how many is family?)
My festival family is only about 1000 people or so. Have room for us too?
:thumbsup Why yes we do! There’s nothing but tarp around us. Share and share alike! :cheers
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! :thumbsup for a tarp to be be laid for us.
