Davey Boy 2.0 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'm sooo tempted to email Bluesfest and ask if i can bring 3 or 4 lawnchairs so i can set one up at each stage, just to see what they have to say."...and I'd like to hold each of them in place with 8" steel tent pegs to ensure that they are there when I return the following day" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 i dunno...that might give the lawnchair idiots an idea they hadn't thought of before. then i will have to kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Simple solution ... spontaneous moshpit at whichever main stage does not have an act currently playing, that way the lawnchairs will be destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 If you do send that letter Daveyboy, please post the response. I'm curious to see what they say. I'd send the letter but I email them all the time so they'll know it's me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothedShredder Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I thought it was a great idea, so I sent one too. Here it is: Hi,I have been a long fan and attendee of the Bluesfest. I was curious as to your policy regarding lawnchairs. I have noticed on many occasions that lawnchairs can be left in front of the stages and the owners are allowed to leave their chairs and visit the rest of the venue, in essence, saving their 'spot' for the WHOLE day. In my younger days I found this very annoying. But now as I approach the big '30', I supposed I've mellowed, or got weaker, and the idea of a lawnchair seems more and more appealing, especially since there has been little attempt from the festival (outside of snide remarks from performers on stage) to curtail the use of lawn chairs. So I figure, if you can't beat them join them. My question then becomes more specifically... is there a limit to how many chairs you can bring in at one time? I would like to bring in a chair to put in front of two or three stages so that I can secure a decent seat for those artists I actually want to get a good view of. I won't be denied anymore! Looking forward to another great year, and also being able to get within 100' of a main stage!!! Sincerely, William Schiestel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
