Mary illium lowdown

[Debbiefromtucson]

Some other plus' for the high school- showers right there and there is a grocery store almost across the street so you can get your breakfast there too if you rather fetch than make...

[Debbiefromtucson]

As for getting bitten by a Rattlesnake, I assume there is a camp host at Illium?? someone correct me if I'm wrong

[Yard Gnome]

mmm...so if I miss my shuttle because I absolutely do not leave concerts early, especially shows I paid out the ass to see and traveled a lot of miles to see, what are my options?  are there taxis?  Can I hitch rides? 

High School camping resolves all of these, and you could get the sleep needed to rinse and repeat...just sayin'  

Yeah but HOW against the rules is the drinking, I mean I'm fine with the "no pulling out your wang and barfing all over the place" rule but if I'm not able to just sit there and drink a beer, I mean that's some Saudi Arabia type stuff there man. 

[BillyBeru]

Then it's Saudia Arabia.

If you decide to drink a beer then so does someone at the next site, etc then what's the point of the no alcohol policy?

Planet Bluegrass has one no alcohol campground and its the High School- please respect those rules.

Just trying to be amusing friend.  Not bothered by the family friendly campground, just somewhat bothered by the extreme expense of this endeavor and only to find out I might not catch all of nightgrass.  You'd think the shuttle would run 24 hours. 

[BillyBeru]

You asked how against the rules and I answered your question. No harm, no foul.

Excuse me, I'm going to crack open a beer now

You will get so much music in during the day that you just may decide you need a good night's sleep and end up not going to nightgrass. Don't stress so much over it, it all works out the way it is supposed to. There are several places that serve food pretty late so you can always eat after the fest is over for the day, then you may not crave a late-night snack. I know at the Palm they did have some munchies for sale.  
Just remember that you are among friends, you are ALL there to have a good time. It's a marathon, not a sprint.  Pace yourself, don't suffer from FOMO, and you will have the best time ever.  If you get there pre-fest, please come up to Run A Muck and introduce yourself.  Much knowledge can be gained there. hee hee

See, I was told by a dear friend that nightgrass is the highlight of Telluride.  This is my 30th birthday present to myself.  As I enter into adulthood and gaze upon the depressing sights of friends getting married and getting pregnant intentionally, as I see my drinking tolerance go down and the need for exercise increase, I am craving one last tour of the battlefield.  I picked Telluride so I am hoping to suck all the marrow out of this experience that I can. 

[Hot Sugar]

The only bit of nightgrass you MIGHT have to miss would be the encore, and probably not even all of that.

Yes there is a camp host, Well there is the welcome tent when you first to the campground. There is or will be someone there pretty well 24hrs a day. No, I have never seen a rattle snake at Mary E.   Come to think about it about the only wildlife I have seen(other than us) was some deer down by the church about four of five years ago.

No High School camoground then if you want to raise some hell!!!

So at Mary Illium, if I stumble back drunk at 3 AM and get bit by a rattlesnake, what are my options?

I almost positive there are no rattlesnakes in Telluride (too high elevation), and my guess is that Illium is at most 1,000 feet lower ... so you're probably OK.  I do know they live in Norwood though, so I guess it's possible ... but very unlikely.

[Matt]

Both The Palm and SOH are very close to shuttle stops as well.  If you're pushing it for time, just stand by the door for the encore and get out before the crowd.

Oh the marrow will get sucked, but mostly out of you!         
And yes, Nightgrass is wonderful. All is wonderful, all is there to be enjoyed and experienced.    Gonna be my 37th, good thing marrow replaces itself.

No snakes, but I have seen some goddesses wearing BOAs!
