I found I don't sleep much for the first week before the festival, and then once the festival hits I 'rest my eyes' out on the tarps. Not sure if thats a choice of mine, or just a combination of sun and exhaustion which shuts my body down...

So do we abandon the tea & stock up on STRONG coffee?

Perhaps I'll stock up on sleep before I fly out 'cos I don't want to miss a second of the action.

OK, we get it: sleep as much as you can before the festival, cos there's no guarantee that it'll happen while you're there  Thumbs Up

ProPlus and Bacon sarnies and coffee all round for the week.

My two years training a SXSW wasn't for nothing.

You're going to be so bitterly dissapointed trying to get a bacon in the US Mark, get one in Manchester airport before you fly .... and at £10 a buttie, you'll remember it fondly 'til you get back. (In fact at £10 - you might still be chewing it!).

I still have a piece of the last bacon buttie I bought in Manchester Airport behind my back teeth.

I bought it with a buy-to-let loan from Northen Rock

"OK, we get it: sleep as much as you can before the festival, cos there's no guarantee that it'll happen while you're there  "

Lol no guarantee is an understatement if your in TP or Warner.

   Late Night Dance Party in Warner last year at 3 a.m. rocking 80's music prior to getting in the tarp line at 5 a.m. and watching Festivarians pick tunes around a monster pot of cowboy coffee is one (of MANY MANY MANY) of the sleep deprived memories that I will always cherish!

And if you get shut out on the 'Formal' nightgrass shows, the numerous bars with smaller acts and people all over town pickin' will keep you entertained!  I almost missed the start of 2nd set Emmitt/Nershi late night because I was standing outside during the break and got caught up watching a group of people jammin out front!!

God I can not wait!!!!  Cheers

Statelax, I now hold you personally responsible for re-fuelling my total over excitement concerning TBF and Nightgrass in particular  Wink
I don't think I'll manage to sleep at all anytime around, before, during or after the festival, I can barely keep to me seat right now after the single day line up anouncements....
I'm gonna be on a TBF high all the way till the kick off in june...  Thumbs Up

Well....Good luck on gettting sheridan YMSB tix, you'll need it.  As for the opening event, last year it was Yonder (hopefully this year too), and it is at the Telluride conference center.  This is a great way to kick things off, its a Yonder Concert to open TBF, WOW!  This show is all ages and the best part is riding the Gondola up the mountian side to get into Mtn.  Village area.  The visuals are unbelievable at sunset!!! This is the only show that takes place in Telluride Conference Center and in Mtn. Village.

Miss Lala, I am more then happy to accept the challenge Wink

  Last year was my first TBF as well (And I had zero excuses, I have lived in CO my whole life) and it exceeded all expectations I had, truely the best festival I have ever been to (and I have been to alot of them).  Once you get down there and settled in it's hard not to get caught up in the excitement, and it's worse in Warner/TP because you are ALWAYS surrounded by like minded people who are just as excited to be there.   

  And I am happy to toss the late night/drinking cap into the mix, I'm a proud Colorado Native but my mother was born in Scotland, so the 'Lets have fun' gene is in the blood!!!  Cheers

PS - If Railroad Earth or Greensky play Late Shows (Lol One I am positive on) DO NOT MISS THEM FOR ANY REASON AT ALL!!!!
