Hey you down in the front!

[Courtney]

Okay, here's the plan.  Whenever you see Pat, say "Howdy Pat" or Hi or whatever but include his name.  Walk up to Pat and shake his hand.  I love it.  All these random strangers soon-to-be friends that know his name, I love it.  Last person to say Hi to Pat is a rotten egg.

(It's all your fault John - I love it)

good idea, Court!

I will bring a present to Pat! John can make sure he gets it... but not until we have all said our howdies!

I can't believe someone bashed me over 40 points for this topic...  Did I say something wrong or did someone misunderstand? My only complaint  was the talking.... I am good with dancing....I am good with the standing later...  oh oh... did I get in trouble for admitting that I have been guility of singing along? Come on, I said I woudn't do it again!!!!

wait.. it's because I am old?????

ah... okay. 

LuAnna
and I am  NOT dormant in my chair for 4 days.... I am rarely in the vicinity of my chair!

Geeze, if I saw LuAnna on ONE tarp, I saw her on FIFTY tarps last year. You can NEVER find this woman when you want her! 

Tons of Festi-Love for you, LuAnna!

What's with all this smiting?  I LOVE you people. 

But wow, what a spirited discussion we've had. 

I love that line, Miki, about how we're all experiencing the same thing but in different ways. 

We're all guilty of getting all excited now and then!  I just know that now, in a couple weeks, you'll all notice me standing down front, singing and dancing and clapping along.

Hi all,
I am reading an interesting book by Dean Koontz (Life Expectancy) and there is this one paragraph that sums it up pretty good.
We have instinct but are not ruled by it. We feel the pull of the mindless herd, the allure of the pack, but we resist the extreme effects of this influence-and when we do not, we drag our societies down into the bloody wreckage of failed utarpias.
Ok I changed that last word for us.  Speaks to my heart. Let your freak flags fly festivarians!

[Courtney]

What's with all this smiting?  I LOVE you people. 

We should start a smite free society.  We could call it Utarpia.  I can honestly say I have never smited anyone on this forum and usually forget to even look at that little number until someone brings it up.  (Insert Heavy Breathing here)  Ignore the number and you shall grow young Luke Skywalker.   

One thing is for sure, freedom of expression is flying freak flags frequently ---  while we are frolicking.

I like the quote, Walkers!

I was just going to say something probably much less elegant... but the point being- Telluride is a society with all that comes with any society. Gotta love us silly dancing hippies! 

[Cindy Lou]

I  just remember the line from the 70's:
"If it feels good, do it!"
Happiness is contagious. I hope we are all infected with it for a lifetime!

Getting down to the wire is always streesfull for me,
Packing, trying to organize, flaking out at work, fixing gear, ect
But I gotta say Pat is my Telluride Happy thought!
If I am swamped I just pull up the You Tube Clip,
and Yeah I remember the work, effort and sweat are worth it 
to see old friends and make new ones, and give Pat a hug too!
See Yall soon

It has been fun reading all of you guys opinions on the down and front issue but the saying I go by is: "When the music gets down in your soul it makes you want to lose control and there aint nothing wrong with that." -Robert Randolph. So basically I just feel as though every now and then a person feels they need to get up clap, shout, whatever, I'm cool with that. Just as long as this does not go on all day anyway. Can't wait to meet you all in 13 days. Can the clock tick any faster?
