Revised CDC Guidance / 2021 Telluride Bluegrass COVID protocols

[kernstb]

GA added.  On sale now, with individual Mary E camping and vehicle passes offered.  $300 for the 1st weekend, $400 second.



It'll be interesting if they continue to try to sell the remaining corrals, or just pull them for GA.  I was hoping for some Nightgrass or new artist announcements, but I think this may be it.

Yep, good move by PB to take out the remaining unsold corrals to switch to GA. Also, looks like they are lending a helping hand to the folks who bought corrals + camping, but ended up not being able to go, which is great because quite a few folks were stuck with $4-5K.

I believe artist announcements are finished. Nightgrass, Elks, & Firstgrass seem to be off the table, which is sad. I really hope I am wrong on that, though! Elks park would be especially cool to have this year because we start music so late this year.

Glad they did it too, but unfortunately still not going to pull the trigger for $400 ... which is definitely not unreasonable in light of their attendance cap at 2,500!

Now that we know PB is totally fine with putting hundreds of us in gondolas & then a closed room...

I wonder if PB is considering 86ing corrals & moving the fest to full GA with TARP RUNS! MAY THE MUSIC GODS BLESS US!

Vaccine protocols are being treated similar to motorcycle and helmut laws in CO...one can ride a motrocycle and not wear a helmut, that's one's choice....only now all the no helmut riders have been thrown in one big soup..where they can all not wear helmuts together, what a party!  If one of them falls, well then........I think many of the states are taking this line of logic..it's a Darwinian approach, got to give em that...I know a lot of places gave out the vaccine card after just one dose, the place i went to did....so i guess we will all just have to wait and see how this works out.

Probably all the bigger vaccination sites did that. They stamp your card on the first shot and tell you to bring it back so they can stamp it with the second. Being fully vaccinated is my helmet as well as yours!
Hope you have a safe and festive time!
Cheers!!

I ride a motorcycle .. and while I do always wear a helmet (not 'helmut'), I have no idea where you are coming from with your stated analogy. Is it your position that anyone who has made an intelligent, lucid, conscious decision to not be injected with an experimental, non-FDA-approved Wuhan lab-created toxin is somehow thrown into a 'big soup' .. and if "one of them falls ... well then.."??

I can think of only one thing to say to that ... "Baaaaaa-Baaaaa-Baaaaa".

I believe what darkhorse was alluding to in the analogy is that everyone is free to choose whether they want to take the vax (for whatever reason); however, public health measures are enacted in such a way as to create a firewall between those who take it and those who don't so as the increased risks of transmission are somewhat contained to the population that elected not to take the vax.  It's not a perfect analogy with helmet, but I think it does get to the heart of the matter in so far as limiting exposure / risk to only those who've made said choice on the vax front.

This comment, FOM, was so much more measured and restrained than how I would have responded to RockyMtnguy. So thank you.

Thanks FOM. My appreciation to you for your measured and kind response. Praying for a safe and wonderful festival with no disease outbreaks. Stay safe festivarians and dance, dance, dance for me

Missing you this year my lovely friend. Get up close to Greensky during their set and wave to me. 💚💙

I'm betting the Planet is not going to change the corral structure as there are some people out there, I'm guessing, who bought tickets because of those corrals and want that peace of mind.

If I could I would let them find buyers for my 2 extras for each weekend. I sure can't afford to pay for 3 just for me and no way would I ask my podmates to make up the difference. I just need 2 more warm, fun, dancing, happy bodies to fill my corral so we can have us a proper rodeo! YEE-HA
