******** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ********
KAMP DUK TAPE, CAMP TOTALLY LIT ANNOUNCE TBF MERGER
The benign dictators of long term Telluride Bluegrass Festival Town Park Campground establishments, Kamp Duk Tape of the Primitive Area, and Camp Totally Lit of Bear Creek Preserve, today announced the execution of an Agreement of Merger, joining these two groups of degenerates in what the organizers hope will become a Bluegrass Festival Town Park Campground tradition of “aiming for the top of the ‘B’ list.” The Agreement of Merger was the culmination of heavily negotiated, liver-debilitating talks which took place during TBF 2010. The final document was signed at an invitation-only, ‘guided inebriation’ ceremony held in Meadow Park during RockyGrass, 2010.
Full details of the Agreement remain confidential to protect the innocent but an inside source who requests anonymity reports that the newly fermented group intends to occupy the Camp Totally Lit site in Bear Creek Preserve, heretofore occupied by Totally Lit pursuant to the doctrine of Manifest Festivation. The new camp will be officially known as “Kamp Duk Tape, presented by the Totally Lit, featuring Blaze, the Trusty Steed” (Take that, Allison Kraus!) although actually, most folks will continue to call it Kamp Duk Tape. Organizers assure us that, regardless of the moniker, the new group is sure to be well lit.
These developments leave the Primitive Area space usually defiled by Duk Tape Man and his cohorts up for grabs.
“There’s gonna be a mess load of drinkin’ and fussin’ and fightin’ over our former site,” stated a heavily toasted Duk Tape man. “We were happy, right where we want(ed) to be ©, for years and years, but the long trek to the green room at night has become an issue. That and Camp Totally Lit’s excellent structuring capacity both helped drive our decision. Not to mention their morning coffee service and excellent party lights.”
Aspirants are advised to get an early start on planning their takeover of the crossroads area where Kamp Duk Tape has been located for the past six years.
Unnamed co-conspirators report that plans are in the works for a new centralized party tent, additional solar capacity and possibly other upgrades for the reorganized camp. Picks will be hosted; songs will be sung; debauchery perfected. A gallery of duk tape art and sculpture will be open for viewing throughout the festival. “Blaze is not for sale,” insists Duk Tape Man, but other works of art may be commissioned on a “first-come, maybe served” basis. “Come around first, with whiskey, you might get yourself a little duk tape dinosaur,” claims Duk Tape Man. “Come by late, empty handed, and see what happens – I dare ya.”
The usual precautions will continue to be advisable when interacting with Duk Tape Man.
