You Might be a TBF Festivarian IF ??????

[EJ]

spend your weekends practicing your tarp toss in the backyard instead of spending time with your family

did write-in votes for Sam Bush in the last three presidential elections

have never understood why they call those things they play in symphony orchestras "violins"

Find yourself alone in your bedroom admiring your collection of thongs (Ron)

have a drawer with $600 in quarters in it to be sure the government doesn't run out of them just prior to Telluride denying you hot water

you are more pissed about people trying to scalp Town Park tickets for a grand then you are about the war, poverty, or global warming

sit out on your deck in the middle of the winter playing your guitar while freezing to toughen yourself up for Telluride

get into drunken bar fights over whether Chris Thiele, Mike Marshall or Sam Bush is the best madolin player

refuse to talk, associate or even acknowledge the existence of anyone who does not know who Bela Fleck is

believe that when Martin Luther King gave his "I have a dream" speech, he was talking about getting a vehicle pass for town park

you really, truly get weepy when you hear that song "Packing for Telluride"



 Listening to: Packing for Telluride (and feeling weepy)

You have a bumper sticker to elect Sam Bush....

You read through these posts and keep saying to yourself, "I do that!"

It's a long story but when you see him, be sure to request the Telluride Balloon Masacre song to be played. 

You might be a festivarian if you find pink flamingo boxer shorts in January and you buy them knowing someone at Flamingo will totally dig them.
You will be an abatarian if one week just isn't enough.

* you get it in writing that your children will not plan June weddings... or July.. or any month when you have to go to a festival.   

My oldest daughter picked an initial date for her wedding that fell during Telluride.   I told her that if she didn't change the date, I would have to be content with attending her "NEXT" wedding.

She picked the following weekend and planned all the accompanying festivities around the time I was in Telluride, like a good daughter.  Before anyone thinks that my statement about her "next" wedding was harsh... she stayed married to Josue for one year.
Turns out lil'momma knows best!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

1.  For two months before the festival, you run like mad through your neighborhood every morning at 5:00am with a tarp and screaming "FESTIVAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" at the top of your lungs. 

2.  You feel compelled to journey to Town Park once a month every month to make sure it's still there and that nothing has changed.  You belt out a resounding rendition of "Howlin' at the Moon" on the main stage just to make yourself feel better and because you know you probably won't get arrested.   

3.  Your idea of fine china is a KOTO cup, and you have fifty cups from each festival since you started going.   Those are the only cups you and anyone that visits you uses, and you've discovered that you can even eat out of them if it's late at night and no one is watching.

AHH!! HAHAHA     so this is what I have to look forward to??? LOVE IT!

 You decide to go to Cabela's to load up on gear... Cabela's is 3 hours away- you FORGET  that you need to be home to get your 9 yr old from the bus stop... Your 9 yr old ends up being home alone for the 1st time ,for 3 hours ,while you fight your way back from Phoenix in a massive traffic jam.... Meanwhile, your wife who is over 2000 miles away ( is about to have a nervous breakdown) is calling friends in the neighborhood to make sure your child is ok and able to get into the house.....

You are willing to take this person's confession, beg the spouse and children not to kill and hand down the pennance of...

"Son, you shall sing "Howlin' at the Moon" each morning at 4 a.m. to the Tarp Line... in shorts and a tank top... barefoot."

(Man, are you gonna' get it when Mom get's home - Good Luck!)

[Courtney]

Just to prepare, when your shower is almost over and you still have some creme rinse in your hair, you quickly as if surprising yourself, shut off the hot water and when the blast of cold water hits you start singing howling at the moon and your happy because you're getting ready for Telluride.
