Packing for Telluride

[Courtney]

Wander'in will be well taken care of by all of us, but especially, Tom and Courtney and Jen and Connie and AtotheJ and whoever else I see Monday when I get there.  We'll do our very best because ..... we're festivarians and that's what festivarians do.   Plus, if it keeps you where we can keep an eye on you EJ

I'll bring the Saran Wrap...

Well after an exhausting practice run...... I have discovered that I can indeed fit an upright bass, a guitar, a mandolin, a fiddle, my brother, and enough camping gear and beer for us both to be comfortable for ten days into a Toyota Camry  ..... It aint pretty, but it will work!!  Now I just have to break it to my brother that the bass is riding shotgun 

See ya all soon!!!!! 

Doesn't Yakima make a Bass Rack?!?

Have I ever mentioned I failed spelling class in 1st grade?
Can't wait to see you in town park Mayor....

Speaking of packing.... I haven't started.

I do have a couple advantages though.

1. Most of my stuff is still packed from last year (cleaned of course).
2. I only have an hour and a half trip.

I'm going to go through my stuff in the next couple days to figure out what I packed last year that I don't need (didn't use), then load the trailer and head out Monday morning.

Have you checked your wagon tires?
I remember as we were loading you up last year there were some issues
Good luck

Don't forget your Shower dress/robe/caftan/muumuu!!  For the easiest shower experience, while still in your tent you divest yourself of all your dirty clothing, (it goes straight into your laundry bag) & you don ONLY your shower dress and flipflops.  You then go take your shower, making it very fast and easy, (as the next person in line is not waiting for you to dress) and you then return to your tent and dress there.  This also helps you avoid the dreaded Skivvy Foul, wherein you drop your clean undergarments on the path en route to the showers, or the even worse FOUL Skivvy Foul , wherein you drop your DIRTY undergarments in the path whilst returning from the showers.  Note: Only those members of Camp Flamingo can commit a Fowl Foul Skivvy Foul.

That is the second best advice I received at Tride last year, the first being "drink more water it goes well with everything"

I had to replace a tube when I got back as it spun on the wheel.
They're all aired up and ready to go.
I'll keep an eye on them this year, so it doesn't happen again.

[itsRick]

OK we are going to start packing this weekend.
I have the song - where's the damn list?
EJ

James, just remember the names in the song, that way if you forget the list, some one on the song list will have you covered?

P.S what kind of mansion on wheels will I be parking for you this year? just kidding, I miss you and Kyung, can't wait to see you again.

 Listening to: Steve Earle / Rich Mans war

you bring a tear to my eye. we're doing all we can to show up as early as possible but as J. Lennon once said " Life is what happens while your busy making other plans"

 Listening to: Waybacks / the river

[EJ]

You guys are great as always. I am with Rick about the tear in my eye (evil tears). Thanks Courtney as always we can depend on you (and yes I will try to stay on my side of the tracks).

Rick: Kyung and I will arrive on Saturday early afternoon and set up hopefully in the same place near Boulder Dave (a somewhat less grandiose affair this year but no 7 hour drive from Denver) and will be ready to pitch in.

I am in full music mode now (trying to remember words to songs) and playing every day. Can't wait to see everyone.
EJ (that is short for Eternallygrateful James) 

 Listening to: a new song I am writing spinning in my head

[Debbiefromtucson]

We'll be getting there late thursday hopefully- we'll help keep an eye on things if needed as well til the rest get there.
