As I ponder the excitement of travelling to my first TBF, I recall all the advise and wisdom and knowledge that Telluride Tom has given me.  His guidance has been priceless.  So to honor him, I change my profile picture to honor his likeness.  I look forward to breaking beer with him and open this topic for praise and reflection of Telluride Tom... Cheers

I was honored to receive T-Tom's last hug good-bye in T'ride this year. Seeing you climb into that truck and pull away just broke my heart.

Thanks for all the love and wisdom over the last five fests Mr. Mayor!  Thumbs Up

Already looking forward to NEXT YEAR!  Woo hoo

I, for one, find Tom to do a reprehensible job at Mayor. His organizational skills are lacking (no official pre-fest schedule until May -- really?), the events he puts together are all yawners (who wants to watch an *electric* pedal steel video at a *bluegrass* festival anyways?), and -- you didn't hear it from me -- but I think he's skimming off the top from the official TP budget.

Anyone else with me on a coup for next year?

Please note that today is opposite day, and I'm in a terribly silly mood trying to get past my post-fest blues.

TBF would be a pretty different experience for me without Tom playing host in TP all week long. He enriches everyone's festival, so I raise my nearly empty bottle of Telluride whiskey to him!  Cheers

It sounds to me that you are feeling a bit put out because you weren't standing behind T-Tom in the beer line.  Next year, be sure to follow him around, and if you're behind him, he'll buy you a beer on the condition that you buy the guy behind you one.

I try to stay behind him the whole festival.

Love you Tom!
