It's that time of year once again to get ready for one of the coolest events on 30a. Jim and I have been screening the list for the best to show to you. We're getting a larger screen this year, and a more powerful projector also. And, we're on track to bring you some pretty special guests. Be sure to get your tickets early and often.

Of course this is all designed to get you to want to come to Telluride for the festival. www.mountainfilm.org

It's going to be in the mid to low 40's on Friday and Saturday nights, so dress warm and bring more than you think you'll need, since you'll be sitting still near the water for around two hours, in your low back chair.

also, full moon is on the 5th, so it's going to nice and bright out there.

stay tuned for some posts about the happenings in Cerulean's over the course of the weekend; breakfast talks by our guest presenters, booksignings, special exhibits brought in exclusively for Mountainfilm, after parties, etc...

and remember, the Mountainfilm '05 loop of 11 films is playing in Cerulean's to wet your whistle.

Mr. BB goes early as possible and sets up chairs. However we usually bring the taller chairs folding chairs (sorry John R) and sit toward the back. There is really not a bad view anywhere. We like being closer to the food and wine:biggrin:

It was so cold last year I wore a faux fur hat, gloves and boots. Should have seen the look I got in the hat and boots when we walked over to Fish out of Water for a drink later:shock:

Mr. BB bought us a bunch of the shoe and hand warmers, you know the kind hunter's use...they were great, we stayed toasty warm...only thing that got cold was my nose. I bring two blankets for each person....one to drape over the back of the chair, so the draft does not get you from the back and one to drape over your front.

They have the best hamburgers ever and the gumbo was very good. They also had a really good cheese tray. Yummm...getting hungry just thinking about it.

Hope to see everyone there.:welcome:

Bb...y'all sound well prepared! It was so cold last year!!! I ended up eating tons of smores and drinking hot chocolate just to keep warm! I agree that the food was extra good and seemed to be priced well.

Building the venue today, drop by and say hello if you're in the neighborhood.

The ILCP show got here yestrday and was installed last evening at Cerulean's, go by there for a sneak peek, and a cup of joe(get it?). If you haven't seen the DVD yet, it's playing also.

Another show being installed tonight, and then another on Friday.

So what you are saying is that if I go now, I may be able to score some good blankets and chairs? :funn:Wouldn't it be funn to go over there and rearrange all of the chairs, mixing them in with other chairs and blankets? :floor: At 5:30pm, the sun will be setting and darkness begins to fade in, as do all the people. CHAOS NOW! I love it!:floor:

I suspect you will be waiting a while. So, when are you heading back to the Big D?

I am sad for you. I have enjoyed living vicariously through you for a month! I think perhaps you had a very good time. ;-) Glad you will be going back in April though!!!! Have a very safe trip home!!!
