Telluride Blues & Brews Festival: Telluride, CO 9/16-18/2004

I took my 2nd annual trip to the 11th annual Telluride Blues & Brews Festival and, as expected, left impressed with another well-run weekend filled with great music and, of course, great beer. They held the festival a week later this year which led to some cooler temperatures, but also peak foliage on the ride from Boulder. We had a little rain on Saturday, and a lot more Sunday morning, but all in all, the weather held fairly well, and we were rewarded with some impressive mountain rainbows. Spending time with a friend from Boulder and my brother in T-ride was an added bonus.

Closed highway exits around Boulder led to a late arrival on Friday, and since the curfew for the festival was moved up a few hours, we got in late. But that
