I almost forgot about this but it keeps popping up in my head,,,,,
all through the festival, for all 4 day's no matter where I was,,,, there he was.

This guy,  who had on (I swear) Rushad's (from Crooked Still) taco hat from last years set. Did anyone else see him? Could it of been him?
He made me smile every time I saw him. Silly taco hat LOL

Could have been my buddy with the watermelon hat. Looking

Or "Roach" (Travis) in his strawberry hat. LOL

That's the afore mentioned buddy...

In the summer of 2008 I enjoyed what must be one of the best times of my life.  It was my first Telluride.  Town Park camping was amazing, and it was the people surrounding me that made it such a great experience.  I cannot wait to go again this year!  I LOVE YOU ALL, FESTIVARIANS!!

Last year was my first Telluride.  I stayed in Town Park and met some of the nicest people I think this country has to offer.

Once fond memory-
I sneaked through a closed off trail on the outskirts of town and hiked across some sliding rock slopes.  I almost fell off a cliff and died but in the end i found a huge waterfall that nobody seemed to know about.  I spent a while behind the waterfall and stood under some of the tide to feel the chill of the water in the hot summer air.  It was quiet, peaceful, and serene.

I really enjoyed hearing/seeing Counting Crows a couple of years ago. I hadn't ever seen them and wasn't very familiar with their music, but they did a great set and I wouldn't mind seeing them again.
Don't know if that is my BEST memory, but right now it is one I can actually remember. LOL

2008 was my very first tbf... and my favorite bands, the swell season and the frames were  there. i'll never forget when the swell season was just about to play and my friend had to leave to go back to utah and i knew it would be months before i saw him again. i watched him leave on the bus as i entered the concert area. the swell season played as the sun began to fall behind the mountains and i knew my friend was riding out with the sun. i balled my eyes out, for the music, the memories the friends the setting sun and the beauty of telluride and vibe of the best music festival i have ever been too. i can't wait to see what next summer brings!

I have only attended one festival so far, 2008, so I don't have enough memories to fill a book like some of you. I can say that TBF was the best week of my life. I came down from Montana with two of my brothers as well as Chris Elliot, the banjo player for Spring Creek.

This first one isn't about the music, more the town but still a good memory
I don't remember which day it was, I think it was the second, when I got heat stroke. My brothers and I went to Brown Dog where the waitress brought me numerous pitchers of ice water and some asprin even though she could get fired for it. I ordered nothing that had a price that day but still gave half of the 40% tip we left. The next day I saw her in town and she asked how I was, she was also attending the festival which showed me the strong since of family shared between the festivarians.

After John Oats left the stage during the Sam Bush set, he ended up 3 feet from where I was standing.

Getting to see Darrell Scott play then getting to meet him will forever remain one of the best moments of my life. Darrell is probably my all time favorite singer-songwriter.

Towards the end of the Cadillac Sky set, when They said that they had been playing a lot of original stuff and were going to do something we'd enjoy...a cover. They then went on to say that they thought it was an old Flat and Scruggs song and then did a Greenday cover.

Back to Darrell Scott. river take me is one of my alltime favorite songs, so when he and John Cowan did their half an hour version of that song, I could have died right then and I would have been happy.

The marshmellow fight.

Before my brothers showed me bluegrass, I was a hardcore metalhead, so when Sam Bush broke out with Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin, I was in heaven.

One I had meant to put on the last post but didn't was one of my favorites.

On the way back home after the festival had ended, we passed another loaded down car on the Interstate, my brothers and I decided they were probably coming from Telluride. As we passed they looked at us and us at them and we both showed off our wristbands. It was pretty cool.

Also on the way home we passed a beat up classic convertable painted pink with longhorns on the front. It was pretty sweet.

I have so many beautiful memories,, most of them I save just for me but this one I will share.
Day two of the FESSSSTIIIIIIIVAAAAAL and who is there to greet me, Barenaked Ladies,, all of them. Flower

I just locked eyes and smiled warmly... I did not want them to get swarmed with fans. It was very special. So real, so in the moment. Made me feel like it was just for me.... Flower I hope everyone feels like that, almost each song hits home and feels like it was written just for me,, about me., each song .

My favorite moment...................

Diagnosed with a nasty brain tumor before 04 Telluride...........they told me it didn't look good.......

I said piss on it.......you can do the surgery after the festival.  I staggered around like a drunk for 4 days and listened to some pretty good music........

After that I spent a lot of money going to see the best Neurosurgeon in the world............

Guess What.........

I'm coming back..............
