Blues Festival

I've done the Telluride Bluegrass festival before, and I can tell you categorically that the amount of awesome there, if combined into a single place, would coalesce into a black hole of cool that would bore a hole through the very fabric of spacetime itself, and spew unicorns and rainbows all over everything.

I rode my motorcycle from Seattle to Telluride, camped on the infield for the whole time, and have been doing nothing other than trying to get back ever since.

Telluride sits at the end of a box canyon, and they shut the road into town down for the duration of the festival.   Infield camping is done by lottery, so you want to get your name in the box sooner than later.  If you don't get into the infield, and you can't' find a place in town to stay, you'll end up in one of the outlying camp grounds.  They provide shuttle service too and from, but you miss the town atmosphere, which is excellent in it's own right.   

Went drinking in the local bars, and saw members of Leftover Salmon and The String Cheese Incident up on stage jamming.  And also, four full days of Bella Fleck.
