Shout out: where ya from?

Hey, Matt...let's touch base on Telluride, bud.   How was the Joe Val Fest?

Howdy John.  I'm hoping that T-ride is in the cards - shouldn't break a 10 year streak.  No Town Park ticket at this time.....but I'm more worried about securing one of those bracelets like last year! 

Joe Val was, again, a pleasure.  Another cold snap came in which adds to the cool nature of the event: being holed up in the Castle catching picks in my summertime cargo shorts while the winter winds blow outside.  Infamous Stringdusters really stood out.  And Chris' HTGABB project was nice with B.Sutton taking over the guitar spot for the next year.

100% sure on Rockygrass.  95% sure on T-ride.

Where in the Boston area?   Do you go to the Greyfox Bluegrass Fest in NY?
I'm curious how you do the TBF camping when you have to fly out.  It sounds like we do the same type of camping at greyfox~ w/ the kitchen,bar & common areas.  I can't possibly bring all that on the plane    
I feel that we must know some of the same folks that run in the NE bluegrass community & like to party!      Let me know! 

Howdy Missy!  I now reside in Quincy.  Having made many friends with Colorado folks over the years, I've managed to whittle down the amount I have to fly with.  Before that, we were bringing tents, coolers, canopy on the plane (checked, not carry-on!) but that is a huge hassle. 

Seek out a camp to adopt, is my advice 

Let's be sure to meet up one of these days.

Been to every venue in Boston I imagine.  And haven't been thrown out of any......that I recall. 
Greyfox - yeppers; it is its own special fest.
Narrows - not yet, but I'm keeping my eyes open.

hey wyeknot108,

I'm up around you (Southern Maine) and was curious when you go about buying your plane tickets to ensure the cheapest price, or from what carrier, or to which airport, etc. Sounds like you've had many trips to Telluride, so any advice you could give would be great!

There's no easy answer.  I always depart Logan and have arrived in: Telluride, Montrose, Grand Junction, Durango, and Denver.  They all have various drive times post-arrival with Telluride clocking at a mere 10 minutes and Denver logging 6-7 hours.

And price just fluctuates a lot year-to-year and week-to-week.  Monitoring a site like kayak.com helps.

Good luck!

Found a flight from Boston (directly to denver) to Montrose for $311. Pretty good!

That is as good as you can get - nice work!!!   

And Montrose->Telluride is just over an hours drive.  Good time to pick up provisions on the way unless you're taking the shuttle.

Where are all the Northeasters??????????? There must be more of us out there!

Hey Sarah,

You've got one down here in DC (though this could technically be the Mid Atlantic).

woo hooo! close enough....

haha, you wouldn't be "forumming" while at work now would you???

[BillyBeru]

Hey Sarah,

Actually I was at home today and called into the blah blah blah. I saw Sam Bush rip it up last night and, of course, I was ripped up as well.

Got to say that your enthusiasm for Telluride is AWESOME! I can't wait for you to experience it first hand.
