Packing for Telluride

[Auntie Hope]

Okay... I corrected the spelling... is my sink done yet. As soon as the sink is done you can pack the oysters and GO! GO! GO! RIGHT NOW!!! Well, the sink and the radio show. 

Oh Dear Me... I just realized that I'm going to miss the Hippie From Olema Show tomorrow night.  Kinda obligated, being that TOMORROW is the B'Day (I made it!) and the day I get to scream...

RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW! I'M LEAVING FOR TELLURIDE RIGHT NOW!

       

[Sam]

Hey Hope, I hope you have a good trip tomorrow, oh and Happy B'Day by the way!

I am still furiously packing, gonna have to stop soon though, its 11pm here in England and all this packing is making me tired...lol

Exactly 7 days from now and I'll be flying high over the atlantic and at the begining of this amazing journey...

 

[Pearhead]

[connielv]

   Today...my final day off before departure (weird, i work tomorrow & depart on Tues.).

Doing lots of laundry, then start packing.......hopefully I can finish packing and have only loading the van to do on Tuesday morning.   

Plan is to drive to Springdale, Utah (our friends have a restaurant there..yum!)    have dinner there and enjoy the Beautiful Zion sunset  ,  get a good nights sleep   , eat breakie    then  to Telluride (aka Heaven)!

we leave Tue afternoon, been shopping and packing, making our lists and checking them twice, baking cookies for munchies and dreaming of Wednesday when we'll roll into town park and start the festival games!!

Getting there.. Got some weird looks tonite though at the Safeway... My order consisted of 3 large vodkas, about 6 bottles various liquers, 8  large cans tomato juice, lime juice, tabasco sauce, worsteshire sauce, and a gallon of milk and some fruit loops and potarts.....

[connielv]

   My stuff is packed.....just that last minute/fine tuning double, triple check stuff.
I should sleep good tonight as I have been bustin' butt all day getting everything together.
Work 11hr. day .... check everything 3 more times ........  probably not sleep well due to the butterflies infesting my tummy!     Wake early to start loading van......  stop for breakfast and GO!

Are we there yet?

[Pearhead]

NO WE'RE NOT THERE  YET...AND IT'S KILLING ME 

[Hooch]

I spent all weekend finishing the Run-A-Muck bar, packing, buying random items, and admiring the collection of beverages I'll be bringing along.  And now it's Monday and I have to be here at work all week pretending to care about my bickering employees or all the little insignificant problems that creep up.  AHH!

  Are you REALLY sure that was the reason they were staring? 

Or was it that pre bluegrass fever glaze that we are starting to take on?

Yes , sweetheart, your sink is done and I have decided to pack the dish drainer from my kitchen for the wenches to use in town park. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 

Now get back to packing....... How'd the yard sale go?

This just in from Courtness:

Those of you who have downloaded EJs song "Packing for Telluride" should start the song at the stop sign at Society turn. The song will play and end just as you pull into the main bathouse in Town Park.

Just don't hit any pedestrians and OBEY the speed limit.

Just thought all y'all might want to see what I'm doing today.  The little tags are labeled with each day of the festival.  Once it's all picked out, each pile goes into a ziploc with the day of the week on it.  Crazy, I know.  But this way when I'm "festivating" for five days I won't have to think about what I'm going to wear.  Just pull out whatever day it is and go...   

Daniela -

That photograph/packing assembly is simultaneously the most impressive and the scariest thing I believe I've ever seen!  Now... I shall spend the rest of my life wondering if I should give it a go... and never will.  The internal struggle is already beginning to make my head swirl!

As far as packing... I will start tonight and probably continue through the festival and finish sometime around mid-July.

Nice pack job Daniela!  Now... just imagine a front yard with six or seven piles of camping gear, coolers, canopys, duffle bags, etc. and you will have and idea of what it looks like at my place.  By the size of the piles it looks like I'm gonna have to pull a trailer.
Today is my last day at work and all I can do is prepare for departure... had to weld a fender back onto the trailer frame...  that's work related, right?
Tonight and tomorrow I bbq and slow-cook six racks of baby back ribs for the Run-A-Muck ABGAT-ers, finish washing and packing my clothes, and load the pick-up and trailer for take-off on wednesday.  This is my last post folks... so happy trails to you all and see you in Telluride!

The trip becomes a reality when I paste the Telluride Town Barricade pass on my windshield

I have collected all of the gear from Karlos, Kim n Jed, and Jill's family. My front yard is starting to look like Karlo's. The pile seems to grow even while I sit here typing this entry. 

The puppy needs to get started on Heartworm meds before I can leave, so that will take time when I do the last over the hill shopping blitz tommorrow.

If all goes really well, I might be arriving late Friday night in time for the land grab Saturday morning..

Now where did I put the darn Cuisinart?
