Ah, bagpipes....how I love them so.  But don't bring your own bagpipes because they are hard to run with.  Check out the bagpipes topic for more info.

Has everyone checked out all the fan videos from random TBF's on Youtube.com and other video sites?  I love watching vid of tarp runs.  Most people don't understand that tarp running is an art.  Some people have the talent and some don't.  It's not all about speed.  Sure, you need to sprint until you almost (but not quite) puke due to lack of oxygen and over-taxing a hungover body, but you also need the dexterity to dodge/hurdle/climb over/crawl under a wide variety of festival-based road blocks such as: fallen festivarians, wagons, lawn chairs, babies, speaker cables, scaffolding, Kelty shelters, imaginary pink hippos, and tent stakes.  And, while keeping your eye on 'the prize' you have to pre-plan the approach.  You have to understand your tarp and how it unfolds.  And, alternately, your tarp has to trust and respect you.  Being able to skillfully unfolded your tarp with a flick of your wrist in the last 10 yards of your run and guiding it in for a perfect landing can make the difference between having a prime spot for the day or winding up underneath your tarp unconcious with grass stains on your forehead.  A well-placed tarp is a beautiful sight to behold.

I remember that.  I was layin' in my tent and all I could hear was the roar of the crowd after each picker took the lead.  I was sooo tired that I just stayed in bed and listened.  Boy, now I regret not forcing myself out of the tent and over to the jam.

1996 on Thursday Barenburg, Douglas, and Meyer with Sam Bush sitting in. The weather was terrible, sleet blowing sideways. During Sam's solo a rainbow formed  up valley, and as everyone cheered Sam played harder, and when Sam played harder another rainbow formed. Two rainbows over the valley was a sight to behold. It was inspiring.

A funny memory is when I was sitting in an outhouse near my tent when I heard some friends calling me; David, where are you? "In here" What are you doing in there? "Camping!"

Another one of my favorite moments was when I was playing bass for King Wilkie a few years ago. We had been on the road for a couple of weeks and was on the way home. Well, it just happened that we were going by my then girlfriend's house. So I had them drop me off and within minutes of being there I fell asleep on the sofa. Well the next thing that I knew, I was in Telluride and Sam Bush was on stage singing North Country Fair. It was awesome. I can remember seeing everyone there. But then I awoke to The Peaks of Telluride playing on the stereo. It was a great dream and it felt like I was actually there. I also felt a little sad that I wasn't......Does this count as a favorite memory?...LOL

Oh another great memory!!! Last year's Sunday Night Walkabout..... That was a hoot especially when we helped that guy move in.... I think this needs to be an "official" event this year... Actually, we should make it a "progressive walkabout" , like a progressive drinking party..
