Pitching the Space Station

By Eric Steele
To get the Space Station into Town Park for the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

While this seems simple enough, it involved night strategy sessions and a blind run with six tarps to stake the spot for the Space Station. Having never set up the Space Station, I'm a little scared. Buckminster Fuller was a bright guy, but I'd never put together a Bucky-Ball before. Thankfully my wife was there or I would have floundered for hours trying to figure out the roles that each set of poles play in the structure. Because of Kim, we had the Space Station up in just over an hour and had soon made peace with our neighbors.

Getting bands to play in there proved fruitless, but it was enjoyed by may who visited the Bear Creek Falls nonetheless. We've been asked if it would be back by co-festivarians, which we take as a sign of success.

Mission Accomplished!
