Any idea on cost for nightgrass shows?
$25 maybe?
Yes, depending on the act and venue, the nightgrass tickets range from $25-$35. The prized posession seems to be Yonder at Sheridan Opera House, which sold out in about 5 mins last year. (Sheridan holds approx. 300 people)
And what about theYMSB gig in MTN Village? :huh Anyone have any details about that?
Yeah mountain village is a hell of a way to spend a wednesday evening in Colorado seein Yonder. Ticket wasn’t that hard to come by preparty with a bunch of well everybody because everybody is prepartyin and then you make the trek up to mountain village which is just a long line of festivarians snakin through town and up the gondola to party with Yonder that is the details of Yonder Mountain Village :cheers
So, between the daytime shows, Nightgrass, Workshops, pickin’ parties and general festivatin’…when do you sleep. :huh :huh
(Being a newbie, I know I can ask that question safe in the knowledge that I’ll get sane, responsible replies!. ;))
I see us UK newbies have similar concerns Boogiefool 
I am seriously worried that basic survival related activities (eating, sleeping…) just won’t fit into this tightly packed schedule!
Maybe we can make it by eating energy bars at regular 2 hour intervals and having 30 min power naps in our seats between daytime sets…
Any ideas?
If I’m getting this excited at the prospect of TBF I can’t imagine what I’ll be like when I’m there. I’m beginning to think any kind of sleep will be a luxury.
I do like the idea of drifting off as somebody’s picking out a tune. :thumbsup
Can you really ‘drift off’ to a b*njo doing Foggy Mountain Breakdown at 100 miles per hour? I’m can imagine getting ready to finally sleep - but as soon as I hear music, I’d want to be back outside the tent joining in with the picking.
i found myself, at times of intense exhaustion, able to put my hat over my face and stretch out on my blanket on a beautiful telluride day. sleep came quite easy. i guess it just depends on who you are.
that said … i’m not one of the people who does the tarp run, etc. i found it quite easy to stand up front during the bands i ‘needed’ to be close for and to relax at a reasonable distance for the others. that’s just the way i approach the festival, though.
I found I don’t sleep much for the first week before the festival, and then once the festival hits I ‘rest my eyes’ out on the tarps. Not sure if thats a choice of mine, or just a combination of sun and exhaustion which shuts my body down…
You can sleep when you are dead, kind Sir. :flower
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
So do we abandon the tea & stock up on STRONG coffee?
Perhaps I’ll stock up on sleep before I fly out 'cos I don’t want to miss a second of the action.
:cheers
:huh :huh :huh Sleep :huh :huh :huh
OK, we get it: sleep as much as you can before the festival, cos there’s no guarantee that it’ll happen while you’re there :thumbsup
ProPlus and Bacon sarnies and coffee all round for the week.
My two years training a SXSW wasn’t for nothing.
:clap :clap :clap
You’re going to be so bitterly dissapointed trying to get a bacon in the US Mark, get one in Manchester airport before you fly … and at £10 a buttie, you’ll remember it fondly 'til you get back. (In fact at £10 - you might still be chewing it!).
:cheers
Just imagine SXSW Without the hotels… Think about it, better get a good bottle of lowland single malt to drink with the Hippie…
:peace
I still have a piece of the last bacon buttie I bought in Manchester Airport behind my back teeth.
I bought it with a buy-to-let loan from Northen Rock
You had a bacon buttie at Manchester airport? and your still alive? Well done Mark!
I doubt I’ll be eating! I’ll be way to excited and so many gigs to see to think about food… :thumbsup
