:wave HI! my name is Deb and My husband and I-- as well as our son (11) will be attending our first Town Park camping/ TBF. I have been lots of times but have never had the pleasure of camping in Town Park… Could anyone give out some good advice? I’ve seen that there are many different group camps within Town Park… how does this all work?
In over 20 years of TBFing, I only learned 1 lesson: when you take off your sandals, always turn them sole-side up. That when you won’t burn your feet when you put them back on.
Have a wonderful time.
HOwdy Deb !!!

Welcome to the Town Park Family! 
As you’ve gathered from the forum, there are indeed many camps within Town Park, established over the years, some ancient, some relatively new…
As a TP camper, you are under no obligation to camp with one of the historical camps, the fun is open to anyone who wants to join in! Most regulars will welcome you with open arms and initiate you to the TP traditions: a lot goes on, a lot of food is cooked, a lot of instruments are picked, and there’s always room for more! When we get closer to the festi-dates, you’ll see a schedule of prefest events posted on the board, that will give you an idea of how keen TP is to kick off TBF in style!
Now, my advice is: stick to the forum, get to know everyone. They’ll be delighted to answer your questions, give you some useful tips, rub you up the wrong way… :evil :lol
Your essentials during your TP stay: a big smile, a festi-attitude and willingness to make new friends!
Enjoy! :cheers
rub you up the wrong way…
I soooooooooooo Loved that line !!!
:cheers
It was actually aimed at you Ron, I nearly added SUR just to get the message across, but I see you got it anyway :flower
It’s all fun and games with this lot… :lol
Not only will you be welcomed with open arms! Last year I was greeted with an open rain coat (and very little underneath).
You’re gonna love TP, especially if you love the smell of bacon.
So did ya smell that bacon before or after he opened the rain coat… :cheers

Wow, you totally ruined that for me. I had a vision and it was not when"he" opened “his” raincoat!
EEEWWWW. Now I have to poke my mental eye out again. :eek
Telluride is a very gravitational place You will gravitate somewhere and find yourself around soon to be friends. Just happens. Fate will place you where you should be, and you will probably say wow!
Its Funny how that happens !
:cheers
and yes Lala … I got it !
I am and Old Fart after all !
:cheers
As Phil Lynott said, (when it comes to Ron) “Dont Believe a Word…”
Here’s my advice. But since it’s coming from me then it’s to be taken with me then you will want to completely disregard most of it. But here it goes anyway:
- No walruses.
B. Decide if you want to camp very primitively (not close to the bathrooms but not a lot of people walking by), or if you want to camp closer to bathrooms but away from “the action” or if you want to camp near the action. When I say “action” I refer to all-night pickin’ and partyin’ and/or being able to hear the actual festival music during the day.
-
Arrive way early and give yourself time to relax and enjoy.
-
Bring bacon. Seriously.
-
If a Hispanic guy with a pony tail wearing a thong offers to let you use his private shower it’s actually quite safe…but only in Town Park.
VI. Earplugs for kids (and you) to help you sleep through the noise if you actually want to sleep.
- The goose is a bit gassy.
6.02x10^23 The campground is completely rearranged after dark, so don’t assume you can find anything at night just because you could find it during the day.
Somehow it always makes its way back to the topic of bacon, Ron in a thong, and the gassy goose of The jailhouse! :lol
Imagine combining all of those into 1 thing. Scary!
I will NOt sir!
Very wise. I just tried it and blanked out unconcious for over 3 minutes.
Hooch your Killing me …Much Love from us !
A. Lalagay’s first year was last year.
B. She’s makes an Auntie very proud.
C. Hooch’s line about things being re-arranged after dark is very true. Don’t get caught after sundown without a flashlight of some sort or another. It will hurt and leave a scar!
D. Welcome to the madness!
F. Well, “F” is always for FESTIVVVAAALLL!!!
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
The Tears in LalaGays eyes and hug when when we were Loading out will haunt me Forever l
The perfect moment for me last year …
