lol man finally this thread has started, i was waiting! i have been the last four years and LOVE it! except last year it was mad humid, with no wind. You can take any type of tents that you want, and there is a tent section that is back farther away from the stage. near the tents is a field of open seating, where you can lay out with your new, amazingly cheap piece. Get there early if you want a good tent spot.
when it comes to a tent and all that, yeah i don't know about all that as this is a growing community and that would scare me away from talking in public.
I would suggest that maybe you fly a certain flag to advertise your location, i.e. a red pirate flag.
This is the first time the event is happening on friday so i'm pretty excited and will be there all three days, PM if you want to talk about setting up colors.
