Best spot to see bands up close: the Food court and Palace after 2

Best spot for a snooze: Top of the field @ Avalon (many acoustic bands, mellow atmosphere)

Best spot for a tryst in public: The woods a few meters from the boardwalk

Best spot to be when it rains (and it WILL rain, friends): The gondola, the Red Marquee (just after getting a drink), the Lark Cigarette pavilion @ Orange Court.
