those of us up here in the artic (NY) have to wear winter clothing this time of year

we cant pile all our coats in the 100sqft pit area

so what else can we do but put our coats on a chair?

I dont consider that saving a seat - if I get to the event at 8AM and put my jacket on the seat Im using, then get up to wander around for a while, am I suppose to carry my coat around with me all day, everywhere I go? Thats absurd

I dont think leaving your jacket or bag on a seat is 'saving seats' and yes, I would feel upset if I came back and someone was sitting on my jacket, eating food, spilling drinks on it...whatever.
