Editor's Note: Better late than never. Gavin Anstey of Telluride Newbs dropped me a note saying he had missed this year's Lunar Cup event  – and this week's Monday deadline – because mom was in town. His video from last year's Lunar Cup should suffice,...

It may not be the most known or prestigious of Telluride’s numerous (and I mean numerous) festivals, but Balloon Fest is definitely up there – ahem – as one of the best. It’s low key, it’s free (eg. the night GLO on Main Street Saturday...
