Getting There

As every good vacation should, this one has started with a bit of randomness that has resulted with putting me in a far better situation than I had originally planned.

I traveled to Denver this morning to meet up with G-man and his girlfriend Lauren. The original plan was to take Lauren or G-man's car to the festival. Through a roundabout series of phone calls, we found out that the band Cadillac Sky, who is playing the festival, had ended up stranded in Denver and was looking for a way to Telluride. Lauren was able to make arrangements to swap G-man's car for a huge passenger van that could carry us and the band together.

The deal was made.

It's been fun getting to know the band in the drive up here. They're ll nice guys, and jovial traveling companions. Banter was light and spirits remained high for the whole journey.

We got here without any big incident, got the press passes and did our best to figure out our accommodations for the night. My camping passes apparently are at the campsite, and since it was getting dark I wasn't even sure I'd be able to see enough to set up the tent. Amazingly, the Cadillac Sky folks had some extra space in their hotel rooms, so we're staying with them tonight.

I'm in the midst of an all star jam right now: Cadillac Sky, G-man, Dominick Leslie and a few other folks. I'm gonna stop posting and just enjoy myself.



More to come tomorrow!
