I have removed ribbon tied around chairs. I was at the SS Mardi Gras Festival and saw many older people standing while many "reserved" chairs were empty. I went over and pulled the tape off the chairs so some people could sit down. More people need to take action before this unjust system changes. The chairs are free and available on a first come basis. There are no reserved seats. If you come across seats with cushions and ribbon, it's up to you to do something to make a change.

This is just my observation, but it would appear that "we" have allowed the line dancers to take over the squares and the chairs. Beginners on one side, plus on another and intermediates on another; and if Scooter is playing then you will not find a chair all night.
When we first bought and moved here the squares were open and space was available to all types of dancers, you would see some really good dancers (ballroom), but now it would appear that the squares are filled with mostly line dancers - of which I am one - however, I do not dance at the squares, I choose to dance elsewhere. I came through LSL last night at about 6:30pm and it was so cold and windy that you had to be an eskimo to be out there last night!

Some People here are mean...
I slid an empty chair a few inches down to allow me to place our home brought chairs in, and some dude standing behind us yelled at me, A woman. I simply said sorry, and squeezed on in. There were 5 chairs, all empty, I mean really. I moved it over about 6 inches so I could squeeze our chairs in. No one ever sat in them, including him, and we stayed for 3 hours, but he protected those chairs with his life....... What happened to kindness... sometimes it makes me wonder...... |

Some of these people were the ones who bit their fellow preschoolers.

Not saving chairs could be part of the general announcement. Just like no coolers and smoke free. Even though it won't help in the beginning of the night, it gives a reference to the situation.

I have no problem with saving chairs as long as someone is in each chair at 5pm.
But to save them until 5:30 or 6-that is not right. IMHO

There are also police on the squares. I would think that if one of the entertainment staff had a problem or sensed that there was going to be a problem with someone, they could have an officer there as back up. Having the entertainment staff handle these situation, to me anyway, is much more preferable than having two of the audience members going at it.

We should organize a group of us to go to one of the squares and tie ribbons around all of the seats. We could just explain that we are saving the seats for people who are coming. Then we could just allow people that we want to be seated. How would that be any different than saving twenty seats?

I do believe that signs could be of help in minimizing the problem. At least those who are gererally consirderate of others would know that mass hoarding was not acceptable.
Those who still practice hoarding would also know that was not a protected activity. That said , there is no real answer for inconsiderate people.IMHO

What I plan on doing is being one of the 10,000 people that come on TOTV and complain about this issue once a month and never take my complaints up with anyone that could actually do anything about it.
For some strange and inexplicable reason ... I will feel better yet nothing will actually ever be done to solve my issue. |
