Last night Karilee was trying to find us and I texted back that we were at Twin Peaks. Granted, I don’t think she got the text message until after the show, but I thought I would explain what our meeting area for the past two nights has been.
Essentially, the easiest way to find a spot in the crowd is use landmarks to guide your way. For example, years ago in the Kapuskasing Arena, Mike and I would meet under a certain ceiling fan from the stage (let’s say the third ceiling fan from the stage). So that way, you can look up and realize if you are off the mark or not. With 30,000 people at an event, you can be trying to figure out where your friends are all the time simply by meandering around the crowd!
So in years past, we had an excellent system. “Left speaker of the main stage, and then back by three trees (the trees were lined up all along the fairgrounds in equal distance)” but now we have a new stage layout.
In the end, I have deemed our meeting area the Twin Peaks. It is “Left screen (or maybe speaker now…last night I was at the speaker and Vero was looking for me at the screen. That’s a difference of 15 feet. 15 feet can mean a lot in a crowd of 30,000 people!) at the front, and to your right is the Twin Peaks; the spot between the merchandise tent and the beer tent. I have included a diagram for those interested!
