I've been wondering lately about how and when all the TP pre fest shenanigans came about? Which ones that are still a thing are the oldest traditions? Who started them? What events are no longer produced? In your personal opinion what event current or past was the best ever?

I would probably have to say that the longest streak would have to be rumballs and tropical Tuesday, with Bloody Mary Monday the next runner up.

Run-a-muck's oyster feed died out after Jerry moved away from the Bay Area, and the Smuggler's Birthday Bash died a horrible death at the hands of the staff there. :burn
The beer tasting has been an up and down event that has happily seen an uptick recently. Cheers

The pot-luck at Camp Billy has been going on for some time as well, but the Free Box Fashion Show just sort of fizzled out. A lot of fun times were had there. LOL

Clarissa's slide show used to be a popular event as well, but she hasn't been in quite a while.

I think I'd have to say, the biggest and best event we ever had was feeding the entire Town Park campground Eggs Benedict one year. An event yet to be topped.  Flower

While this will be my 32nd Telluride it took me a half dozen years to find town park. The M.A.S.H tent was already hosting the runballs and I think that the potluck, bloody mary's and tropical Tuesday were going on as well. The Leftover Salmon folks started camping in 1986. Camp Flamingo used to have a Mai tai party on Thursday. And A.J. and the run amuck crew hosted the cannabis cup on Wednesday at high noon. And Boulder Dave and crew used to have a turkey fry one night as well.
