Found and Lost and Found

What can be said about this year's Bestival that hasn't already? I had a great time and I know y'all did, too...And that's what it's all about! Hoo-ah!

During pack-out late Monday morning we found a navy blue XL "pro rainer" jacket in our camp site. If you know who it belongs to please let me know here...Otherwise it's off to the Salvation Army.

For what it's worth, I'll definitely be at the following concerts this summer:
June 29 (today) - Michael Franti at Red Rocks
July 4 - Blues Traveler at Red Rocks
July 27-29 - RockyGrass
August 10 - David Grisman Quintet at Boulder Theater
August 17 - G. Love and Special Sauce at Red Rocks

Pretty good chance I'll be doing Yonder Mountain at Red Rocks on Sept 2nd as well. If you're going to make any of these shows, drop me an e-mail and maybe we can get together for some tailgating / pre-party.

And in the mean time, remember: Warner Field is more than a place...It's a state of mind.

Hasta luego,

Hi all,
I'm wondering who all is going to be there Monday night. I know for sure it will be JD, Emily, Hagn and I, but anyone else? We need to get a hotel room lined up ASAP. Let me know if anyone else will be there then so I know if we need one or two rooms. Thanks all...can't wait!!

Hey All!!

I am so excited for the music, partying, and hullahooping; but most of all I am siked to spend days in the sun (snow, rain, wind, or cold) with all of you!! The more I think about it I can't concentrate on anything! I was left off on the tent list, but that is okay! I helped plan a little bit on the layout and it seems well organized. I will be there in my new Hobbit tent! I am tenting (that is a new fun word) with Telluride Travis--and he is bringing two friends (Laura and Jason or call him Flarf). See you all there!!!

Love,
Lisa

Has anyone ever camped at Ridgeway State Park......I think it is near Ouray.

Also, who brought the very cool, with the secret compartment, wagon last year? It would be cool to have that again.

We're leaving in 9 days for the great state of colorado.....can hardly wait!

An update on the beer situation:

The folks at Smugglers brewery do not have a pilsner or a Kolsch for us this summer. They recommended we show up on tuesday, sample the beers and they will fill us up a keg of whatever flavor we choose.

The alternative would be to call the local store and have them get us a keg of blue paddle, which is what we drank last summer.

I am undecided. The brewery option is nice but their light beers are a Rye and an IPA. If we want a pilsner, we need to decide that now and order it up.

What do you folks think?

An update on beer:

I was going to go with Smugglers Brewery in Telluride to provide this years liquid refreshment. Here is the issue. They are not selling the pilsner in kegs, they are not making the Kolsch. That leaves us with their Rye and IPA as options. The manager I talked to on the phone recommended that we show up on Tuesday, come down to the brewery and sample the beers and pick one. He said they can fill a barrel for us in a little over an hour. He was sure that they would have plenty of beer and plenty of barrels so there is no need to reserve in advance.

The alternative would be to go with Blue Paddle like we did last summer. I am fairly sure I can call the local store in town and have them get 2 delivered in plenty of time.

What do you folks think? There are advancages to each.... and I cannot make up my mind.
