Wednesday Afternoon Kickoff

[wbcohen]

In past years there has been a Wednesday Afternoon concert up in Mountain Village. Does anyone know if anything like that is planned for this year?

Is this what you are thinking of?
Wednesday, June 2011th Annual Bluegrass Kickoff Party with...
Yonder Mountain String Band
@ Telluride Conference Center
9pm show
Telluride Conference Center, 580 Mountain Village Blvd, Mountain Village
All-Ages
Tickets: $30 (Sold-Out!!)
For the eleventh consecutive year, Festivarians from around the world will take the sunset gondola from Telluride to Mountain Village to celebrate the kick-off of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. It's the official beginning to four adventurous, magical days of music and festivation in Telluride, with one of Festivarian Nation's favorite bands. It will be one of the sets people talk about all weekend — a high-energy improvisational freak-out, followed by a Festivarian-filled gondola ride descending into the lights of Telluride. If this is your first Telluride, this is where to begin. If it's not your first, well... then you already know.

They are referring to "FirstGrass" that started at aroudn 4 or 5 in the afternoon the last 2 years.  It's free, set outdoors, and is a lot of fun if you can drag yourself away from the Rumballs!

Don't know if one is planned for this year...but I'll bet that dustin does!

It was nice to have dinner and a brew if you can get a table!  Or just a brew and some grass. 

It's beautiful up there!
