Thank you Festivarians

This was my first time going to Telluride and the TBF.
With my 3 and 5 year old in tow, wife and I were nervous how it would all go down.
But it was truly one of the most magical few days as a family.
Music top-to-bottom was unreal.
The 2 Nightgrass shows I attended were pure magic.
My daughter, 5 year old, with a blue cast for her broken arm was given lots of love and attention as she went native and boogied down.
Kids tent was excellent.
Kids parade huge highlight.
Sam Bush to Bluesky to Tedeschi to Live from Here and more… so many musical highlights.
Loved the early morning line up on the streets for my ticket. Day 1 was 520, then 419, then 297, and wife got 271 by Day 4. Everyone around us super friendly and helpful for us first timers.

SOH with I’m With Her. Pure bliss for my wife and I.
Met Australian Julius at the SOH Punch Bros. show. Looked like you got all your dreams and more on the rail at that show. It was the perfect encore to a long and wonderful weekend.

I could go on and on… but thank you all! I did the scouting for friends and this will not be our last trip to Telluride.

Appreciate all the help on this forum to organize and ensure an amazing time.

Seriously thank you!
:thumbsup :cheers :flower :medal

(And see other thread… seeking nightgrass recordings if available)

So great to read this and wasn’t Jules lovely? So glad he got into Punch Brothers on Sunday night.
Festival was magical and we will see you again.

It has that affect.

Yea, we spoke only pre-show in line, but Jules super nice guy. He was all in on Punch so good he got to go.
Biggest mistake of weekend was not realizing how much Punch at SOH is hallmark of the weekend; stupidly sold our extra so my wife missed it and I went solo. I assured her if the divorce papers are presented this week, I would fully understand.

Their encore was not from stage, but impromptu in a sea of fans right on the main floor. It was spectacular.

Definitely will be back some day. Sorry didn’t meet most anyone on this forum, but all good.
