Kaptain! Nice to be checkin' in! It HAS been a long time. We had hoped Hardly Strictly was going to be doable last year but it wasn't in the cards. This year perhaps.

We've all got the Telluride fever here. Sam, at three, started spontaneously pointing out "Telluride trees"about a week ago. Usually cottonwoods but anything on a hill/mountain can qualify. In the blood, I suppose.

As for leading you home, t'was a pleasure! We were both lucky I think. Did you see my post over on another topic re your brew efforts this year and how happy I am there will be more TCP in camp? Yahoo! Now we just need to get James a pass! 

Sarah, you're in for the ride of your life. Have a blast and look us up over at fishbone.

happy day music lovers,
kym

Hey Kim!

Nice handle...
I am the lorax and i speak for the trees... what is that thing you've made with my truffula tuft???....my VERY favorite Dr Seuss.

It would be great to see some Fishboners in Camp run a Muck at HSB

I just finished the CD of Ron n Debs wedding about a month ago, does anyone in the Fishbone family want a copy? Send me an addy off list if so. That might be one of my favorite TBF memories, actually that years festival might be the best one. I met so many GREAT people that year. Fell in love... twice.... danced my buns off with a beautiful woman from fishbone... and listened to the thunder roll through the canyon as that crazy pony tailed mexican said I do when we all thought he was gonna chicken out 

My goodness only 81 days to Rumballs

Jerry,
It was a beautiful wedding celebration, festival, year. That's what love will do for you...that's what love will make you do!      Look for a personal note from me regarding the cd. I don't know how widely represented our fishbone family is here but I'd love a copy and would be happy to make copies for others who might also want them. Good reminder to me to get Ron and Deb some pictures I took too! (Ah...the path is paved eh?...)

HSB is just before Pete's birthday so we're going to get there one of these years hell or highwater!   

Peace, kym

My first TBF in '03 with Pamia who has been my bestest friend ever since! Lotsa good memories from that one.  Oh yeah - meeting Drew Emmitt... I'm such a geek.
Also '04 stumbling around drunk with my friend Jeff and having way too much fun at the YMSB Sheridan show!
And all the times Bob Rocks had me and Pam just laughing our asses off.
Jeeeez I could go on and on....

I just remembered this one...  We were staying at Riverside condos one year, and so was John Cowan.  That was the year he got married there.  The night after the wedding, we ran into them in the parking lot, offered lots of congrats and handshakes.  He was very nice and very happy!

Best memories ....hmmmm.....

My first Telluride where I miscalculated the exact mixologist formula for alcohal and altitude with singing all night - did that the first night there and could barely speak for two days (don't recall the night well but do remember the could barely speak part). Also was the year of Ron and Deb's wedding (now there is an introduciton to a couple), to freezing all night (wasn't prepared), and to amazing music on stage and in camp. The first year brought me back.

Or maybe arriving at the eventually-to-be-named Camp Wander-In' in 2005 to find my tent set up by my "good" friends and camp mates. "What a wonderful group of people," I thought. We visited out in the hot afternoon sun for a while but what  I didn't notice was that they were suspicioualy grinning as they drank the afternoon away. When I finally went to the tent to store my gear, I found that they had filled the tent with balloons. It turned into the Great Telluride Balloon Massacre.


Muscially:
Bela Fleck, Stanly Clarke and Jean Luc-Ponty is right up there
Sam's set last year after coming out of the hospital ("Friends you have no idea what it's like to be lying in an ambulance thinking you are about to die from a heart attack, listening to KOTO as Bonnie Raitt is inviting you to come up on stage and play with her")

My best memories are everynight, every year,  wandering around camp playing music all night with great people and players, sometimes freezing my fingers off, but always just never wanting it to stop.

There are way too many memories....I wish I could remember them! Arriving last year and having the Hippie thrust a bottle of Rumplemist through the window of my Rent-a-Car was pretty cool.....and of course the warm welcome by all of WanderIn was just too cool. James ...can I get a T-Shirt this year??????? XL????

The Nields (anyone remember them??)

I am a BIG Nields fan - saw them at Fretical on the Eno in 95 or 96 - can't remember

The two ladies are still playing together I know

What a great thread!

Seems like a perfect place to make my first post…

My favorite memory, among many others, is from my first fest in '78. My then girlfriend, now wife, and I were dancing quite amorously to NGR (I believe to "Deeper and Deeper"). All of the sudden this quite intoxicated fella came up and interrupted us to say that we were the most beautiful couple he'd ever seen (or something to that effect); he was just gushing from that classic TBF emotional wave that we all know and love. Great memory.

Having just discovered this forum, all I can say is that it's sure a great way to get even more excited than I already was! As if I needed the help!!!!

Can't wait to see if I start recognizing some folks here, and vice versa...

BTW, I've gotten into the habit of making pocket schedules to give out each year. If you like to download a PDF of the file I start with, to make some yourself, here it is:

http://jiclark.net/TBF'07.pdf

[One warning: this page has about 1/8" margins, and a lot of printers can't go that small. A Kinkos or something could probably handle it for you.] Just print it out, then turn it over and print again on the other side. Use a paper cutter to cut out the indivual schedules (use lines as guides), and take 'em to Kinkos or Office Depot to have 'em laminated. Vóilá!

Can't wait to see you all there!

XOX,
John
