Who's going? Anyone planning on being there?

I'll be flying in on Tuesday and leaving the following Tuesday. Staying locally, not camping but intend on staying out late.

Please let me know because I'd love to meet everyone!

I'll be there! First time to the festival, camping in Warner Field!

Looks like fun but why do they continue to call this a "Bluegrass" festival? I haven't been since 1980. My first time was in 1975 and if memory serves my correctly (it often doesn't anymore!) the lineup included Bill Monroe, Country Gazette, amongst others. I was 17 years of age and working at a backpacking camp based out of Durango and that festival and its music really expanded my love of acoustic music and in particular Bluegrass. I believe Main Street in Telluride was still a gravel surface in '75. About that time a new band (to me at least) surfaced called The Newgrass Revival and they started twisting all the bluegrass rules!

I am not trying to be critical of this festival and it's lineup, just hoping we keep the blue in Bluegrass!

Again, my intent was not to take away anything from the music festival and I hope y'all have a wonderful and magical time which Telluride is known for! It really is a special venue for great music and the lineup this year does indeed look superb.

I'll be there Thursday and Friday, staying in Ouray. Love to jam if anybody is looking to play.
