I ran across this copy of a painting by old-time local Birdi Boyd of the Sheridan Opera House - before it was "renovated" - and was stunned by the memories it invoked. How quaint and quiet Telluride was in "back in the...
Telluride Inside... and Out witnessed two outstanding films to open the 2010 Telluride Film Festival: first, "Carlos," Olivier Assaya's 5 1/2 hour epic, the first film pick by Festival directors Gary Meyer, Tom Luddy and Julie Huntsinger. And then this morning, "Precious Life," written and directed by Shlomi Eldar.

Telluride triumphed in Monterey's BLUE Ocean Film Festival when the homegrown documentary "Bag It" by Reel Thing – director Suzan Beraza and her team – won in the category of Ocean Issues and Conservation. "Bag It" profiles a self-proclaimed “average guy” – Telluride local Jeb Berrier – who undertakes a global pilgrimage to explore our plastic world and understand our addiction to the supposedly disposable items. As we are learning everyday, plastic is amphibious, polluting our waters and lands with equal vigor and effectiveness.

"Fillm" in Telluride and Returning to Revisit, Relax and Review
Mercury is retrograde in Mercury ruled Virgo this week and will remain so until September 13th. Combined with a waning Moon, the ongoing conjunction of Mars and Venus in Libra, and incredibly dark, blue-black night skies, we are certain to have plenty of opportunity to get lost (in romance, on the road or at the movies) and be deeply intrigued by what we see, what we hear and where we end up. As always, Mercury retrograde periods favor all things beginning with the prefix “re” – return, recharge, relax, review, regenerate, research, revise, remodel, redo…the list goes on and on. It’s kind of like driving in the rain, with wipers flapping and our vision slightly impaired. The world is mystical and magical, edges are blurred and distinctly delineated boundaries disappear.

The number of stars on Telluride's streets and silver screens rival the glow dome in the sky. But the razzle dazzle does not...
With the excitement over the 37th Annual Telluride Film Festival, and the work in covering the event on Telluride Inside... and Out, it's easy to overlook the "old Show" going on in the high country, as it has for millenia.
This morning I needed to get a little outdoors before burying my face in my computer. An easy ride down the bike path toward Telluride is Mill Creek Road, which works my legs and lungs whether I run it or ride my mountain bike. Today it was the bike. The reward for the effort is a series of vistas, including several angles on the Wilson Range, and a peaceful overlook across the San Miguel Valley and the town of Telluride, looking much quieter from my perch than within the town.
