Messed up? I didn't see any messup. Are you sure?
And I thought one became among the best of people by showing up. (Sort of like the Mountain Climbers' club, no entrance requirement, everybody's welcome at the annual meeting at the top of Mount Everest.)

No sign needed. Except maybe one that says "Keep Off The Grass" ?
