Retorical Question here, but I’ll ask anyway…

Auntie Hope :pickin
Umm…NO!!!
Thanks Brett. We’re looking forward to it. Can’t wait to meet everyone.
Hey folks,
Been reading all the posts tonight as I am making my virgin trek to TBF in June and these are very helpful to say the least. I have a shot at 4 Town Park spots (friends may have to cancel) and I see that there are some Warner Field spots still open. By the time we get our group in gear and get some decisions made (hopefully in next 3-5 days) we may very well have to look at Warner Filed or Lawson Hill. Coming the whole way from Pennsyltucky and we are all seasoned festival goers. I just can’t determine and visualize the worst case scenario for carrying gear so sorry about that. Assume it can’t be that bad. Anyhow here are my questions as I tried not to be repetitive based on other posts:
-
If we get the Warner Field I assume there is no parking pass that is needed and I would simply use desiginated areas correct? How far could the walk be, worse case scenario, with our gear from our cars to get Warner?
-
If we have to settle for Lawson Hill how long does the free shuttle run up there (hopefully until at least 2am) and how often? Is parking fairly close for carrying gear (if we get there on the 17th)
-
Looking at flying into Albuquerque as opposed to Denver. Anything I should be aware of? Just looks about 2 hours closer.
-
Looked for a couple threads on this tarp line talk but couldn’t find any. I assume if your in TP or Warner (or is it regardless of where you stay?) that you can wait in line in the early morning hours to get a good spot for your tarp? Assume this is your “spot” for the entire festival then? Some of my hombres like to pull this “arrive at the last moment” so assume there is not a bad seat in the house? (if so that is their problem)
-
We are all excited about this to say the least so looking at grooving during the day and then maybe hitting some small downtown shows on the “off nights”. Never been to Telluride so assume the shuttles are all we need to worry about? May also want to get some hiking in outside of town early in the mornings so will it be acceptable to use rental car or is it that once it is in designated parkign it stays until you leave?
Once again tried to read all virgin posts to ga.ther details and these are about the only itmes I need clarification on. Thanks for all your help in advance as it is greatly appreciated.

any questions ?
just ask ?
:cheers
What do you guys think the odds of me getting my hands on 2 Warner Field returns before the fest are?
I’ve got 2 Lawson Hill tickets I picked up before I learned that returned tickets go up for resale on Tuesdays, but I’m really hoping to be able to partake in the Town Park Latenight Festivities. Would I be able to return my Lawson Hill tickets should I be lucky enough to nab some Warner Field returns?
Cheers Festival Lovers! :cheers
If I remember correctly, you have til april to get a refund for your tix. Of course, I’m sure they’ll be someone looking for what you have right here on the forum . . . if Lawson tickets sell out that is. Or even if they don’t! Someone bought mine off the forum last year in May instead of the planet so that I wouldn’t be out the money. :thumbsup
As far as getting lucky with snatching up returned tickets, I have no experience with that, and have no idea how likely it is. good luck!!
ooops! almost forgot . . . Welcome to the Madness! Yeee haaaawwwwwww! :wave
:cheers Thanks for the info and the welcome Maineahhh!! Both are highly appreciated! 
I’m more excited about this fest than I have been for any show for a really long time.
I’m not going to sweat my camping situation too much, I figure no matter what, I’ll end up exactly were I’m supposed to be! 
That’s the spirit! you couldn’t be more right 
:rolleyes Wow–I am getting sweaty palms absorbing all of this!! We’ve been to Telluride for other fesitvals and for camping over the years but first time for TBF. It’s been on our “to do” list for many years. Looking forward to meeting all of you and definetely need to find the “family area” in Town Park (yes, we won the lottery! :thumbsup). We are coming down from Idaho Springs with 8 adults and 5 kiddos. We will be meeting up with friends of ours who are TBF veterans, Latania and Brian and family from Evergreen/Conifer area–know them? Anyway, are tryiing to decide about arrival, camp spots etc. Originally, we were planning to roll in Wed. evening, but now after emailing Dustin, we think we should come down Fri/Sat. I really want a spot by the river, not too crowded and facing Bridal Vail–am I dreaming?? Would love to contribute to the group–what would be good/needed?

Planet Bluegrass takes over Town Park the Saturday before festival. Before that, pretty much all the numbered sites are taken. Friday night a lot of people start showing up for the land rush into Bear Creek Preserve Saturday morning, so it’s pretty hectic. Coming in on Saturday afternoon may be the best bet, and you may find the dream spot you want. :flower
Okie dokie–we’ll dothat then.
Thanks and Later!
Hey Carol Anne-
LaTania and Brian camp with us, come join us! We would need a couple from your crew to come in Sat. a.m. , there is room for everyone! We have “our” area that we like, most of the time we can secure it, but not always. Camping anywhere in T.P. is awesome! You enjoy the beauty of the moutains from where ever your tent is. A spot with views of the falls, well , we have not gone for that as we go for a spot a bit closer to the music and in an area that offers good jamming. Like I said, it is ALL GOOD!
I look forward to meeting you!
