SOH abandons "sleepy town" posture re: security

[FaceOnMars]

Telluride is tucked in a remote pocket of the world, seemingly remote from the violence and tragic headlines that plague other towns, other countries. But the reality is that the unforeseen “it” could happen here.

I don't really have concerns about this as long as the coat check is free and it doesn't take me an hour to get my coat after the show.  We stay in Mountain Village and there have been many nights that we barely made it to the G on time.  I would hate to have to leave a Nightgrass show early just to get my coat from the coat check so I ensure that I make it to the G before 2:00.

I know, don't wear a coat, don't stay in MV, find alternate transportation, etc.  Cool.  Thanks.
