The Music Fog crew is preparing for The MusicFest in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Sounds simple enough…but you would marvel at the various alternate plans we have considered to get there.

It is akin to those old WWII movies that feature the “War Room” where troop movements are monitored on a large glass map in the middle of the room. There are uniformed men and women swarming around the map with long wooden sticks, pushing toy soldiers, tanks, airplanes and supplies around on the map. All of them are smoking. Some are yelling on telephones to god knows who. That is what we look like right now.

Plan A: Get on a plane and fly to Denver. Then take a Go Alpine taxi up the mountain to Steamboat. Total cost (with equipment) One bazillion dollars.
