This makes me sad. :frowning:

This makes it slightly better.

Sorry for all the troubles. I hope things turn around for you soon, and weā€™ll look forward to seeing you next year!

:cheers

Thanks Dustin. I am definitely your biggest fan from Australia. The only thing that makes me feel better is that I have sent two young Aussies off for their first time. I know they will love it and will spread the word.

Have a fantastic time festivarians, I will miss you all so very much but I wish you the best time. It is a life affirming and wonderful celebration and my goodness we so need that these days. Peace and love. :flower :flower

I know it is NOT Telluride, but you may be interested in making plans to attend this festival in Eureka Springs Arkansas. Itā€™s a small festival in the same vibe as TBF. The acts are 90% bluegrass with a single main stage. You can camp at the festival, or stay in nearby historic Eureka Springs (which may be one of the most unique towns in the world, a hidden hippie hold out). This years fest is loaded with the top names in the Jamgrass scene like GSBG YMSB, Leftover, Stringdusters, Keller, Railroad Earth and others. Definately worth checking out. If anyone is going and staying in Town, look up Basin Park Hotel, the New Orleans, or the many ā€œhauntedā€ hotels in historic downtown.

Itā€™s a bit of a drive, but try Ouray, Ridgway or Montrose.

25

Sorry, Iā€™m an Australian

Iā€™m terrified of driving on your roads

You drive on the wrong side!

Seriously - we are only interested in being in town and walking everywhere. It is the essence of the TBG experience and I love walking home after Nightgrass and smiling and talking with other festivarians.

So incredibly sad to miss it this year

Thank you

Just like having a Plane ticket and being dragged off a plane :huh. Has anyone questioned their rights? I mean reserved should be reserved. :rolleyes

I had a condo reserved and they moved my condo unit to a very badly worn and malfunctioning unit. That was the last time I attended
I took the time to reserve it before I left town for the next year. Man if thatā€™s not reserved in advance I donā€™t know what is.

I feel ya ā€¦disappointed I am sure. I know I was.

But good thing the music and surrounding are extra fantastic. See you next year :medal.

Exactly. The horrible thing is that Air bnb cancelled my accommodation for Telluride one week and for our big festival here ( Byron Bay Bluesfest) THE DAY BEFORE! Seriously - a festival with 100,000 people, accommodation booked and paid for nine months in advance both times. It is not a coincidence and I will never trust them again. So sad. I would never treat anyone that way.

See you next year with love and respect, gave a wonderful festival xx

AF, we have had to miss several TBFs in the past. One salvation for us has been the fact that KOTO broadcasts almost the entire festival over the Internet. Now I know that for you it probably starts in the middle of the night at the beginning of winter so you may not be able to do what we do. We spend almost the entire time of the festival outside with the festival playing non-stop. You will find that you can actually grab on to a portion of the magic just by listeningā€¦close your eyesā€¦and yiu are there! So sorry for your woes!

29

Thank you! We will definitely be streaming KOTO and being with you in our hearts

Sadly, we will be streaming in the background again this year! We will toast to you down under as well. :cheers

Hello Friend.

I have a hotel reserved that I cannot use in town with two queen beds and a small fridge. Iā€™m only looking for the face value of the room. The check-in is on Wednesday and the check-out in on Monday.

Thanks,
_August

Sorry, we canā€™t do it now, everything cancelled. If only we knew a few weeks ago. Thank you :smiley::smiley:

33

Hey August - potentially interested in your room. PM me details?

34

Thanks Pirate! We offshore Festivarians will be streamingā€¦with a few tears streaming I donā€™t doubt.

Love to everyone, oh my gosh, it is so close now

Some days I canā€™t read the forum, it makes me too sad to be missing it

Then I dive back in and feel happy for all the new people who are about to have the best time

Peace and love, sunshine to all

Havenā€™t been on for a while and come back to CRUSHING news.

I was sure the third time would be our charm.

Heartbroken for you both.

Love you ladies,
Auntie Hope

36

Thanks Auntie Hope. You know my heart is there. I will be streaming and sending everyone much love. I have already booked accommodation for 2018. I will be home again! X

Hi! I live in Denver, and unfortunately may not be able to go this year. I have a private bedroom with a queen bed reserved in an air bnb that is right in downtown telluride, and would be happy for you to take over the room and the rent! I believe you will need to share bathrooms, but there are 2 in this house. There are 3-4 other people staying in the unit who are all great people, and would just want to make sure to intro you to them first. The cost for just the room is $500/night. Please email me at mrmrswright15@gmail.com to continue the convo if you are interested

Thank you, you are lovely and very kind. Unfortunately we have canceled our flights and passed on our tickets. I canā€™t get time off work now, I will be back next year!
