Hey you down in the front!

[TheLoftisTrio]

It has been fun reading all of you guys opinions on the down and front issue but the saying I go by is: “When the music gets down in your soul it makes you want to lose control and there aint nothing wrong with that.” -Robert Randolph. So basically I just feel as though every now and then a person feels they need to get up clap, shout, whatever, I’m cool with that. Just as long as this does not go on all day anyway. Can’t wait to meet you all in 13 days. Can the clock tick any faster?

Okay, here’s the plan. Whenever you see Pat, say “Howdy Pat” or Hi or whatever but include his name. Walk up to Pat and shake his hand. I love it. All these random strangers soon-to-be friends that know his name, I love it. Last person to say Hi to Pat is a rotten egg.

(It’s all your fault John - I love it)

good idea, Court!

I will bring a present to Pat! John can make sure he gets it… but not until we have all said our howdies!

Getting down to the wire is always streesfull for me,
Packing, trying to organize, flaking out at work, fixing gear, ect
But I gotta say Pat is my Telluride Happy thought!
If I am swamped I just pull up the You Tube Clip,
and Yeah I remember the work, effort and sweat are worth it
to see old friends and make new ones, and give Pat a hug too!
See Yall soon :wave

uh… I didn’t say that part in red…not that it’s a bad thing … i could have said some of it if i had thought of it… just goes to show you how easy it is to put words in my mouth! :lol

:cheers

i just watched this video and was wondering why t-ride fans have went from dancing everywhere… to (for the most part) only dancing in the dust pit behind the sound board?

ya’ll got any ideas?

the tarp situation, as it’s “evolved”

Dancing - Sit down at the movies. Dance at concerts - w/in reason, of course. There’s no reason to entirely block someone’s view and stomp their buzz if you can dance many places. But then again, no one can stand in one spot and dance all day, so if someone in front of you has the spirit inside 'em, maybe let 'em boogie a while. They’ll move along eventually.

Talking - Talk at camp; or in town; or in the corn dog line. Listen at concerts. I’m not there to listen to someone’s conversation, I’m there to listen to Bela pick it. And if you gotta say something, it’s possible to talk with your tarp-mates without drowning out the music.

And unfortunately, as I always say, “there’s always a clapper.” Dang it! I’m not there to listen to someone’s poor sense of time. If you can’t sit still, please tap your feet. Clapping along (when not solicited by the performer) is often worse than talking over Peter Rowan telling his story about the Free Mexican Air Force.

Oh and I’d also vote to leave the video cameras at home, lest we jeopardize the long-sought freedom to make audio recordings. My tapes, from back in the day when taping wasn’t legal, well, those tapes suck.

Bring on the twirly girls!!! (sorry, LuAnna :flower)

Great name for people that insist on talking during the festival. From another Fest frum “chatting f*^k wits” or CFW for short!

I can stand in one spot and dance all day and all night and all over again the next day and as always I’m respectful of the culture around me

:thumbsup In 2011 we had a large group of loud CFWs (love it!) next to our tarp during Edgar Meyer’s brilliant morning set. Half of them had their backs to the stage, just to top off the rudeness. Since it was morning, we easily moved up front to an empty tarp, but people’s lack of awareness is just mind–blowing sometimes.

Newbie here, still a little confused on the whole tarp/ seating situation. Does everyone do the tarp run or only those trying to get the best spots. Some days I probably won’t make it in the festival grounds til early afternoon and wanted to know if we’d be able to find a spot to set up a few chairs if we didn’t do the tarp run. Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

I noticed they added spotted laser lights behind the soundboard the past few years, that draws people.

Hey Headlight, I bet you a donut I’ll be the longest lasting dancing fool at the fest even with my bad left knee and mid age

[headlight]

See you sunday!

[headlight]

So MissA, did you make it through the House band set?

No doughnut taken!

Made it thru! Literally started to shed a tear as I skip-waltzed to Gentle on My Mind, stage left, back and forth under the cool mountain moonlight down the long path made clear by fellow too tired to dance Festies. Free as a Birdie. So Happy!
Where’s my Donut?!

[headlight]

Guess we’ll just have to call it a draw then! :thumbsup

Oh I think I lasted pretty good for an old fart with a dislocated right thumb that made twirling my baton a bit tricky! The music, the people, the beautiful box canyon, the vibe, it just makes you want to be the Energizer bunny and keep going, and going, and going…
Apologies to anyone who may have inadvertently gotten a baton on the head. Really don’t think that happened, but just in case…

Likewise, I don’t think I hit anyone spinning my blue glow stick, but just in case…

Me too! I usually attend Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival in June, which I LOVE but rarely any dancing; therefore it was SO EXCELLENTE to not be the only dancing fool - I’m constantly told by strangers that I am the Energizer Bunny - glad to know I have a twin - next year I’ll have to bring some kind of whirly gig too.
