Since we are on a roll…are rum balls an edible or a formal dance with rum? And is tie dye required somehow? I am telling you I am just picking up bits and pieces here and there. It is as clear as wallowing in mud…which is half the fun of it. And are oysters really oysters or is this an alternate universe as well? There really is a learning curve when you are a Festi-newbit. :dance
rum balls are semi-edible, semi-drinkable, and very … umm… lubricating. Tie dye isn’t actually required, it’s just the default fabric of choice (next to pleather, of course)
Thanks…you festiexperts are all awesome!! :thumbsup
In one post you mentioned both “rum balls” and “wallowing in mud.”
Clearly, you are going to fit right in. :medal
Rumballs are as described above a concoction created by the good folks at the MASH tent. Really quite tasty, however matches, lighters, and any fire source, are strictly prohibited in the area :burn! There is a dance step related to Rumballs as this celebration seems to attract the Crunchy Frogs from the area, so people do a kind of dance to keep from stepping on them :pirate
'nuther virgin here
Does virgin status put me at a disadvantage on the erections/goddess thing? or is my tbf hymen something of a prize? curious. I’m a dude, btw, if that matters in the overall virgin appeal.
food - won’t be able to bring much of my own. are there vendors etc available during the week - breakfast and dinner mainly - or are they around just during the festival?? I’ll have something to share for the potluck by the way, but not bringing a full 10 days’ and it’d be a bit of a bummer for you guys to have to step over me all week. Is the weather cool enough at night to chill my body when I lose a pulse?
so many questions …
Wow, tbf hymen. Interesting concept. There’s no gong or anything you’ll need to ring upon entering the campground, but depending on where you end up around two in the morning, there may be, um… certain rituals.
There are some awesome vendors in the festival grounds for relatively cheap, but only Thu-Sun. Outside of that, there are a couple of markets within walking distance and plenty of cafes / restaurants in town. Also check out the farmer’s market on Friday just south of Elks Park where the workshops are held.
It can drop below freezing at night, so you should be good on that point. I’ve observed a few people who appear to have been in suspended animation over the years.
And that’s why I lick BillyBeru…oops, I mean “like” BillyBeru. (dammit, I did it again…did I just see a frog wearing a tuxedo?)
:cheers :kiss :drunk
And the dermatologists are still at a loss on how to get that stink off from it! :eek
Oysters are alive until you eat them, goddesses walk until they can’t, Santa comes to town before New Year’s Eve, and virgins get sacrificed. You’re in for a ride Aloha Girl.
Greetings! Will be my first time coming to Telluride, although I’m a regular at Folks in Lyons. I plan to arrive on Sunday, staying in the Town Park campground.
My question, is there any accommodations made in this campground for CPAP machine users like myself? In Lyons, we’re allowed to camp in a location which has nearby electrical outlets. Is there anything like this in Town Park?
If not, I have the option of bringing a marine battery/inverter setup, but there’s still the issue of where do I recharge the battery? Actually, it’s a larger question than that - where do I recharge anything? Nearly everyone has phones to recharge these days.
The on,y electrical outlets are near the restrooms/bath houses. Those spots will most likely be gone by Sunday, but ask. The worst part will be having to run a long extension cord across the road. But you might be able recharge the battery. Many camps in TP have solar recharge stations in the camps. :pirate
Pirate’s comments are accurate. Also, I think you will find the festivarians in Telluride are wayyyyy more friendly than those at Folks Fest from my experiences.
So given that I would have to purchase a battery setup at a rather large expense, and I’d rather not incur that expense, it sounds like my best chance to camp near an electrical outlet would be to arrive on Saturday? Would there still be an issue with an extension cord and the road? I don’t want to get there and be told that I can’t use the machine.
To echo what Hooch said, if folks no guy have a medical need they will most likely accommodate you and let you join their camp. We really are a happy bunch, and very friendly. :pirate
I think you should call Planet Bluegrass today and soon to have them answer your questions (before they leave).
Here’s the #: 800-624-2422
We just can’t type…
I don’t think there will be much of a difference if you arrive by Saturday instead of Sunday. Most of the spots close to the bathhouse are already taken. But, as others have said, we’re a friendly group and there will still be room. Ask around in that area and explain the issue and someone will help you find a spot close to the outlets. Those of us camping in Town Park look out for our neighbors. You’ll find what you need.
I have the answers you seek… :cheers
I’ll pm you my cell# to talk more, but in my experience, the CPAP and a marine battery works great! We use it to run computers and charge cell phones for nine days in TP and haven’t needed to recharge yet…thinking it’s a 80ah battery. (it could be because I don’t sleep much, tho?)
There are many folks with carts/wagons to carry it (damn heavy b***h) to the ice arena or someplace nice to charge for a while and still hear the music, too, if needed.
Hello!
I’m new to all of this! I will be camping at Clayton Campround in the San Juans and only will be attending the festival on Sunday. I’ll be driving in and I heard I can park for free at Mountain Village, ride the free gondola up to the festival. Is that right? Where do I go after that to get my tickets traded for a wristband and how early do people starting lining up to go get there spots to listen to the music? Do I have this all right? I dunno! Help!
Thanks!
