Auntie Hope has just passed the “Welcome to Colorful Colorado” sign and is officially within the state’s borders.
IN celebration of her arrival to the state she has offered a trivia question:
The prize: A still sealed, homemade, yet unloved jar of spiced mango chutney that needs a Festivarian home.
The question:
What beloved Telluride Band inspired a jazz musician a number one single and what was the song.
I’ll check back later to see if anyone has won the coveted prize.
safe and happy travels down that dusty trail that leads to paradise… :drive :hop :horsey :angel
Update: Auntie Hope is in the good hands of Kenny and Carolyn in Denver. THink she is going to move on to GJ on Friday. So far, so good!
She’s Here! :thumbsup
She stopped off in Den with Kenny and Carolyn for a couple of days to let the the little pony rest. Carolyn said it looked like an ant carrying a potato chip and she was right! Arrived in GJ yesterday, safe and sound, about 7pm.
Did a little prefest training, both food and grog, will finish staging and the “Packing for Telluride” today.
Car made it…what a relief!

RE: the Trivia Question… (thanks Dustin!)
New Grass Revival inspired which jazz musician (that has played at Telluride and with the Dead) to write what #1 popular hit song?
There is still one jar of unloved, homemade spicy mango chutney up for grabs!
