Today… Saturday… still at home, sitting on the couch reading the forum. Thinking about all of you who made it to the warm ups game at Pagosa. … wishing i were there, too!
no RE in my TIRED yet… just a lot of SICKAND.
I haven’t started to gather the gear yet, but I am still way ahead of last year in the getting ready part of the trip. We don’t leave here until early NEXT Sunday morning and will get to Tellurde on Monday… in time for Smugglers!
I can work hard and post, but ADD might have something to do with my Multi-tasking
I am down to 1 day and 1 hour till it is time to roll out!

Well I am somewhere I shouldnt be! My flights thru to Nashville got messed up due Chicago weather so ended up on tour bus with Back Door Slam to Bonnaroo via Buddy Guys in Chicago,Bluebird in Bloomington IL and tomorrow Bonnaroo TN. Presently running up to Chattanooga.
Hell I havent even touched base enough to buy any camping gear yet!Its fun on the road but cant wait for T’ride
Festivaaaaaaaaaaaal!
Not to worry, your on the righteous path to music … how bad could it be?
Slam’s Bus? NOT BAAAA-AAAAAD! Just don’t let the front door hit you on the a$$ on the way out! Your tix will be there Wednesday as of now, may change back to Tuesday, but so far the car pool says Wednesday!
Plenty of gear to get in Telluride. If you see a walmart or sports authority, pull it over and grab some gear! There are lots of those between where you are and T-Ride!
Thanks folks-its actually Back Door Slams tour bus with wifi which is sweet.Now in Chattanooga having dodged thunderstorms all evening!
Will need some bare essentials in Roo but guess will buy my winter woolies on arrival in Denver!
See you soooooooooooooooon!
At the Cali Blue G association annual festival. It’s a good one! Much different than Telluride, very old school, traditional bluegrass. There’s a great parking lot for jamming, and no joking EVERYONE picks or bows a couple of instruments. The kids here shred! I arrived Sunday for the workshops and leave Sunday for Telluride. There are some great instructors and lot’s of opportunity for one on one. This festival is in Grass Valley, CA. (an hour north of Sacramento) every year the week before father’s day. Often the same week as Telluride, but not this year! No dilemma.
Still in Louisville, CO. Waiting for our travel companions to fly in tomorrow, then after a brief rest we’re headed to Great Sand Dunes & Pagosa hot springs… only then… will we be making our way to TBF. Won’t arrive at Ilium until Wed early afternoon. It wouldn’t surprise me if our enthusiasm carries us there earlier - I’m about to jump out of my skin & head west without everyone. practicing my deep breathing… but its not working well… WOOHOOOO!!! :flower
Phoenix, counting the days (4, to be exact) til we leave… I’m absolutely SICK with anticipation… Can’t frikkin WAIT!!!
Nate, are you SURE you’re not sick?? I think you should call yer boss right now!! You are definitely not well enuf to work these last few days… ~ Hey a girl can TRY, right? LOL!!!
:cheers
Stoked in Brookings, SD.
Taking a road trip with my 7 year old son. This will be his first time getting off the prairie and seeing the mountains! Im more excited for him than myself.
Welcome Jerry, I was planning to go into town today & buy ya a beer but Wanda had taken my truck keys to work with her. I’ve been stranded down here in Kachina Village with a bunch of packing to do so I didn’t try to dig out the bile & peddle into town. I might could a made it but the 7 and 5 year olds would’ve gotten pretty mad at havin’ to do so much work to get me into town. I’ll track you down & buy yo breakfast if your still around by 7 or 8 Saturday morning.
:cheers Well Wanda helped pack the kids stuff and has put it by the front door for me. I got the car all loaded up. It seems to list a little to starboard :bash so I’ll have the seven year old hold a mandolin out his window about half way and that should right things up a bit. :thumbsup Out a here in 6 hours. See ya soon. :rock
