telluride 2009



























































We always go to the Telluride Blues and Brews festival for Brad's birthday and this year was no exception but it was an exceptional weekend. We are glad we didn't take our motorcycles since we LOVED our 10x10 tent in this weekend of sun/rain/hail/snow... our regular tent was SOAKED at the end (but we stayed dry) and our 10x10 didn't fair well through the last wind storm so had to be sacrificed but it served us well while it lasted. We had a great time listening to GREAT music including Big Head Tod (subbing for Xavier Rudd who cancelled at the last minute to my supreme sadness since I LOVE Xavier), Jackie Greene, Joe Cocker, Buddy Guy, Umphrey's McGee, Anders Osborne, Ruthie Foster, Taj Mahal and Bonnnie Raitt AND the BONTAJ ROULET with Taj and Bonnie together which was fantastic! We got to hang out with the Sisters (our friends from Lyons who make GREAT Asian food) and tons of friends from all over. We got Vendor access, Back Stage and were even on-stage for Anders Osborne which was AWESOME and we got VIP access for the major hail storm! IT WAS GREAT! We showed a friend who had never been there an awesome time and he would have frozen without us (all he had was flip flops and t-shirts and fell in love with our Mr Heater).
We got back today to the frenzy of getting ready for the week. I already tutored Shinta, went to a hospital meeting and started to answer my 84 emails. ALSO dried out the SOAKING WET tent and got VERY MUDDY clothes laundered. Even got to wear and wash Gloria's awesome hippie skirt which Kay gave me which EVERYONE always comments on and loves (thank you Kay and Gloria). Wearing that makes me channel Woodstock ESPECIALLY when it is as muddy as it was this last weekend. Anyway it is back to my 6 day work week with call (ughh)...
Love to you all, Me
