Where can you listen to live music, surrounded by beautiful mountains, look up at the sky and see paragliders drifting down? On a Saturday evening surrounded by hundreds of my new best friends, I saw two paragliders swinging down from nearby mountains as Elvis Costello sang. I couldn't help but wonder if the paragliders were close enough to be serenaded by Elvis as they peacefully sway down.
The Telluride Bluegrass Festival was a big success. The weather held out for excellent camping, Elvis Costello was great, as were the Lovell Sisters (pictured) and David Byrne. After all of the campers packed up and the musicians were well on their way to the next gig, it was time for the town of Telluride to breathe for a few days, suffer through a little rain, and get ready for the wine festival.The Wine Festival is this weekend; tickets are still available and the festival has grown in popularity the past few years with the wine makers of Napa Valley. With Citizen Cope concert tickets starting at just $28 per person and Sunday Brunch tickets available for $55 per person, the Wine Festival is an affordable way to experience Telluride with a wine glass in hand.
