We need to bring the Festivarian Forum back!

Hey everyone. Before I first started going to Telluride, I started checking out posts here, or on the old Forum. When we finally got tickets for Monica’s 40th birthday, I signed up, and like all the newbs started asking questions. So many awesome people, some who are no longer with us, gave us amazing advice, invited us to events and to come visit, and eventually we finally landed in Town Park. Since then we’ve come to know and love so many folks via TBF/Forum/TP and have spent time with folks from TBF in alternate realities outside Telluride!
Seemingly since pandemic times, and definitely after the Forum platform switch, there’s been a decline in activity from a lot of the usual suspects. I’m finding the social media apps where there’s TBF activity is either super private or full of the typical social media BS. So I’m hoping for a revival of the Forum. Should we discuss best chairs, bedding, tarp line, or planning the super secret fun we all love in pre-fest.

Hi my name is Todd and I’m a Telluridaholic, see you in June!

Hopefully it’ll liven up as it gets closer to June but I agree. It’s a bit quiet!

Y’all gonna do you potato bar this year?
What’s your favorite color?
What’s the over/under on how many frogs Monica does?

We’re having a camp retreat in February, skiing Monarch on Sunday of Presidents’ Day weekend. We’ll be choosing our food party plans then.
I like brown
Betting Monica does only three frogs. Frogs after midnight don’t count!

A camp retreat! That sounds neat. Lampshades required on the slopes?

I pulled out my frog stamp card recently and discovered I only had 5 frogs in 2024. Don’t tell @Hooch - I can’t imagine my fate if he found out.

Only 5??? Appalling. You weren’t even trying. All heads of camps have a daily required 2 Frog minimum or you return to newbie status and have to camp at Lawson Hill next year.

Your punch card reveals all.

I guess I need to up my game, I didn’t even know there was a punchcard. :joy: I am always excited for the annual sticker.

For Christmas I got metal tent stakes since the regular ones always bend…… I’m up in the tent world. lol

I’ve been checking out some of the new (to me) bands…… nice lineup for 2025, just missing LoS though.
:v:

Todd, I hear where you are coming from. Give you my honest opinion that I have always found this new interface to be a little clumsy. It’s not that intuitive and you really have to poke around toi get to where you want to go. So i really don’t use it as much as I used to. But having said that, am thankful that PB keeps it running.
Meanwhile, I am ready for some frog!

Hi! I am a complete newbie! This will be my first TBF and I am beyond excited!! I would love to see the forum get a little more lively and will
be more than happy to contribute as much a possible (likely in the way of questions, like “Frogs”?).

Thanks for being here. Looking forward to chatting and very much looking forward to meeting folks in person in June!

Frogs, especially the Crunchy kind Run A Muck during Pre-Festival days. They get a little harder to find once the festival main stage kicks off. But, not too much can be said unless you’ve read the disclaimer! But, I’m not an expert, and I’ve found since I first discovered the Frogs on my first Town Park walk-about, that I’ve definitely lost some brain cells since then, so my memories get Froggy!

You just were just so busy with the zoning…
