I definitely feel honored to have been at the Grateful Dead show in Telluride.  It was a huge mecca for many friends, and marked kind of an end of an era for me.  I'll never forget drumming down Main with Hart and Olatunji.

Actually, Furthur in Telluride would be a hoot.  They likely could pull off a better show.  Grateful Dead was a gas, but the shows weren't exactly stellar.  No matter, cuz I was with great friends IN TELLURIDE!

You're probably right about the airport.  Man, to have had money to have invested in property before the market went insane.

Yeah fundirector23 - and to adding to that, I scheduled Step 1 of my med school boards (the one that determines what kind of residency I can get into) for the day before I fly out ... which was a week-ish earlier than I would have been most comfortable taking it. This festival is going to be my reward for two years of studying more than any human being should, and now I'm worried I'm going to get skunked. I got a taste of the forbidden fruit last year and re-evaluated my stance that nothing could ever top the Merlefest experience. I've been practically hourly checking craigslist and the forum for 2 months now with no luck, and I guess I'll just keep it going through boards studying and see what happens.
Thumbs Up Cheers

I don't think the lineup, although obviously stellar this year, had much to do with the scalping problem.

Seems like many tickets were sold prior to the lineup being announced (at least all the hard to located town park tixs)
