If, like me, you've heard nothing but good things about this festival over the years, take note: tickets are now on sale here. For me, the big draw is Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country (with "2 special sets"), but this is reported to be a lovingly curated festival in Del Norte, CO, between Alamosa and Creede, an easy jaunt from Santa Fe. Colorado festivals have a tendency to sell out quickly, so don't say I didn't warn you (^_^)
