I sent you a PM to explain what’s up… Plenty of close camping and tickets… :flower
Hey Dustin, what were the stats of this year’s lottery? How many people entered, etc?
Oh my gosh - I am so excited. Just found out we got Town Park passes. This will be my first Telluride experience. I did Rockygrass for the first time last year and loved it. Yahooooo!
not completley shut out, Kerri and I each put in for 2. I got shut out, kerri scored.
:vibes goodvibes for you Marilyn
Lucky again! Evil will be stalking Town Park in June!!! :evil :evil :evil :thumbsup
The Search begins for the rest of the tribe - who all needs one?

This is hard for new folks to understand, but as a 17-yr Telluride Bluegrass veteran , it’s my opinion that Town Park vehicle passes are a waste of time and energy for most people and I think the Planet should further reduce the number available. You won’t realize it until you’re there, but camping in your bus, rv or car in Town Park isn’t ideal, and should be reserved for the less elastic or more differently-abled Festivarians, and people with brand new babies.
If you get to Town Park 10 days before the festival starts, there still might not be any suitable parking/camping spaces available, and the vehicles that will be in Town Park by the time you arrive will be crowding up against one another in the drive lanes, won’t be in the shade or in an official camp site and, generally speaking, the few “real” campsites will be taken by the truly hard-core who got there a month or more before you did (no sh*t - this actually happens). So my two cents is to ditch the vehicle pass idea unless there’s a very serious reason to have one.
I’ve got a VW bus myself, but after having gotten a vehicle pass once before, I’ll never do it again. Not ever. Not if you gave me a vehicle pass. Not if you paid me to take your vehicle pass. Seriously. I’m not making this up.
The tent camping is just sooooooo much better and there are so many more options for nice campsites. Use that bus to haul your rig to Town Park, then get it the heck out of the way and find yourself a spot in the shade.
Again, just my two cents (although those who know me well will tell you I toss those two cents around a lot :wave)
I’ll say some extra prayers for Marilyn, and send some good FestiKarma her way too. :vibes :vibes :vibes :vibes
Will lead to :woohoo
hah… love it
Late in responding, but I too got shut out. 
ok, I feel the need to express just a bit of jubilation
aly is excited also, it is great to see my 10 yr old daughter
have the same love we all do about this most special event.
and my little blue pony, aka, 95 corolla wagon has been
kickin, buckin, and fartin trying to bust out of the corral already
she’s always ready to hit that old lost hiway and make the trek up to the mountains
:woohoo
:cheers Let the games begin! I got mine for another fun Town Park year. I wanna pack right now! :clap
Yo Captn Dummy
you have just pissed me off like no on else can !
Laura works her Ass off !!!
so she has to be the Bad Guy …
get the freak over it …
and I want an apology for her …
Dude way over the Line !!!
Bevin Right behind you Bro But for those that have Health Issues…I think there should be an Allowance…
Well, work my “ass” off may be a bit of a stretch, especially this time of year, but I do have a lot of years under my belt!
But, rest assured that the Captn & I exchanged witty retorts off line & he no longer takes my rejection personally. I did not take his mean words personally, we all say things we don’t mean in the heat of passion.
But, thanks for coming to my rescue Ron!
Most of our group were shut out also, 12 or more seperate registrations, and as far as i know only one got lucky in the lottery. I guess we will just have to keep our eye’s open during the coming months. Hope everyone has a great holiday season.
Peace & Love
Kenny & DeAnne
Weell in that case I retrack my Capt Dummy remarke
and apologize
Much Love Laura !
Guess what, Jen?? ~ THE GOOD VIBES WORKED, I’M IN ~ THANKS!!!
:woohoo happy dance :woohoo
Still sending out good luck vibes to those who might still need it… and of course to those who struck out on the lottery, we’ll find a way to getcha into the party!! As others have pointed out, these things have a way of working themselves out!
:bubbles :peace :bubbles
~ Can I start packing yet???
So if we end up in Warner do we still get to be part of the party. Ya know party, visit, wander, jam, then chill . and sleep at the base camp. :cheers. What could ya do. LAst year I remember a lot of ticket swapping was occurring that week and I seen some have know problems findin their spot. If it is meant for us then so it be.
To answer your question, almost never. Even then, in trade for something almost equally rare- like an all venue nightgrass pass or something. If health is an issue, there are very kind souls out there, so it’s not out of the question.
But I wouldn’t want one either unless I had an RV or a nice pop-up.
Not to have all of Albuquerque gang up on you, but as has been said, if health is not an issue- use some of the vehicle pass funds for a decent sized tent between now and then- I snagged the 11’X13’ one we’ll be bringing on Craigslist for 1/3 the cost of a vehicle pass. Leaves plenty for an extra bag, blankets, tarps and/or self-inflating pad. Come early and find a good spot.

“China” IS a sweet pop-up, and its SO nice to have the kitchen and two rooms in your vehicle, but thankfully health is not an issue, nor are there babies involved (chronologically-speaking :lol), so looks like we’re tenting! :thumbsup
How far away is parking after you set up camp? Is there a special “lot” for Town Park campers, or is it wherever you can find? Wondering b/c if we have to get there early to get good spot, I want to go play in the mountains B4 the fest instead of after like I orignally planned b/c I only have so much vacation to do this whole thing.
