Is it more you can't travel here or they won't let you back?

Unless it’s exceptional circumstances ( eg medical or family emergency) we aren’t allowed to travel to US. We certainly wouldn’t be allowed back in easily. Flights back are rare and very expensive - sometimes $15,000. Then there is a fourteen day hotel quarantine at your expense. There are many thousands of Australians unable to return back.  I get it though - Australia has almost no active community transmission so we have travel bans. The only place we might be allowed to visit in next year is New Zealand. Life is very different isn’t it?

Missing my Telluride family very much. Cannot wait until it’s safe to meet again, what a party that will be.

Sending all my love & fervent wishes for safety & peace in the US. Thank goodness for streaming services 💙💚💙💚

Sorry to hear you're unable to make it to Telluride anytime soon AF!  Just my own speculation, but not sure the festival scene will be in full swing this summer anyhow.   

FWIW:  I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat.   I have a cousin near Adalaide who has described a far different experience with the pandemic than what we've allowed to transpire and grow accustom to in the US.

Regardless, hope you continue to remain safe and do well ... and hopefully you get to come back to enjoy the Telluride and the festival when the time is right.

Thank you. To be honest, as soon as it’s safe ( and we are allowed to leave Australia) I will be on the plane and hightailing it to hear some great music and be with my people.

Anything Ferg?

June is looking bleak, but I am hoping that they are working on pushing to August or some point later in the summer. I know that was talked about last year in the town halls (obviously before everyone realized how big this thing was going to get), and the issue was the other events that were scheduled. If they got on it early enough this year, I am holding out hope that there could be some semblance of Bluegrass in 2021.

A man can dream...

Stay safe everyone. Can't wait to reunite, whenever that ends up being.

You're right about there normally being a fully packed summer with just about every weekend being occupied; however, there are likely open weekends near the end of the summer.  Blues and Brews is scheduled for the 9/17-19 and they recently said they're taking a "wait and see approach".  I suspect the weekend prior and after is open for town park and would be willing to venture a guess that most parties involved would be flexible to a late summer Bluegrass if it's something PB wanted to do.

Having said that, the shorter days and also higher chance of far more inclimate weather can make it a different experience than what we're used to at the solstice.   The rare snow that shows its face on one of the four days could easily be a three-day snow storm in late Sept.  By the same token, it could just as easily be 70's and sunny every day.  For certain, the sun would go down earlier and the nights would be much cooler.  Having said "having said that", personally I'd welcome the chance ... even in the worst case scenario.  In the same way I'd welcome the chance to get soaked to the bone at Folsom Field in the deluge at D&C in the summer of 2019.

Check page 9 of the Lyons paper. Planet Bluegrass is quietly optimistic.
