Telluride - Day 4: Father's Day Morning Celebration

So, Dave and I had been looking forward to doing the tarp run for months. After staying up very late last night for the Infamous Stringdusters nightgrass concert, we were beat, but determined. We woke up at 7 and began to do our stretches. Dave and I jogged the mile down to the site to warm up. The ladies had a bet on which one of us would win the tarp race - Dave and I didn't care - we just wanted to participate in the fun.

Here's Dave with #2 (look how excited he is!)  Anyone who's been to the TBF knows how hard it is to get #2 in line. I was #1, of course, but don't have the photo.

Last day in Telluride, so I started it off right.

So did Sarah ...

 Don't let Tarah and Dave fool you - they had cold beers too ...

The festivities opened with an amazing tear-jerker of a set. Different musicians reflecting on their Dads in honor of Father's Day. You could really tell how much everyone loves their Fathers, especially in our crew. This was definitely one of the best sets of the festival and included some of my favorite musicians (from left to right: Buddy Miller, Patty Griffin, not sure, Darrell Scott, not sure, not sure again and Tim O'Brien).

Then it was off to see Andy Falco and His Infamous Friends at Elks Park Workshop Stage ...


We're pausing for a hot tub break and heading back for Peter Rowan, Punch Brothers, Mumford & Sons and Robert Plant. Then we'll head back to the Sheridan for the Punch Brothers to close out the festival. Another late night, another good time.
