Oh and to Hippie TOOO !!!
Yes, Yes, Thank You, Thank You… Please, be seated.
It’s nice to finally be a Festivarian, well a Virgin Festivarian, well, not exactly a virgin, I mean, :blush I’ve been to other festivals before, just not Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Actually, I’ve never been to Colorado before, been to Albuquerque and Phoenix and drove I-10 out to there, well, I flew into Albuquerque to see the Flecktones and Bumpershoot was there, but that wasn’t the first time we met at a concert. That was in Lawrence, Kansas, and now that I think about it I’m pretty sure Lawrence was the first gathering of the “Pod”, you know, the core members of the “Hippo Campus”.
Don… Ron… Paul… Jerry… why are all these people staring at me? :talk
Does this mean I should change the ratings to make Festivarian some unattainable number till Hope Lin actually attends a festival? I’m not so sure a “Festivarian” title is appropriate for someone who hasn’t been yet. 
:evil :evil :evil BACKOFF BUCK-A-ROO BANJO!!! :evil :evil :evil
Hope Lin :flower

Not to worry Rhonny… The Bluegrass Mafia became involved. Dustin is on our side…now. :lol So… get to it. Crank that rating up!
Ron… Pretty tired of never having been to TBF!
Hope Lin :pickin
Thanks Hope! I was worried there for just a minute… but I honestly didn’t think that Dustin would really do something like that to us!
come on baby, you can do it!!! :cheers

P.S. Now I’m off to the RRE show, and then home to do laundry, clean my entire house, file my taxes, do my expense reports and catch a plane tomorrow AM at 6:30. Remember? Life is, and always will be, a full-contact sport for this girl!!
so I should just keep making posts even if I have nothing to say? That is what counts, right. Well, NO problem… and I can learn from the best, right?
Rhonny, how was RRE and what do you think of the Duhks’ new lead singer?
okay… on to make some more posts. shoot maybe I can even get someone to applaud me… seems I have been left out of that for not having time to play. Well, I am on a break right now so I will play!!
:oconnor
:hop
:clap
Well I guess there is another level !!
^5’s Tom
Back at ya! I didn’t even notice it. :lol
Who knows what we may find the further we go? If Tom didn’t even know. I don’t think I have to worry about getting there with as little as I have time to peruse this list. 
YAAAAAAAAYYYY! I LOVE my new rating! I only wish it could be mine all mine! :baby
oops… ok, I’m not 4 anymore. I’ll share.
xoxo
