Ken and Tom's announcement: 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference

Date

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.


Conference Venue

Timbers.jpg

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.



Lodging

For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:

  • Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
  • Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on Cabins link) - Yellow Pine Cabins

Getting to Cuchara

Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports

Denver Internation Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)

Colorado Springs Airport to Cuchara (2 hrs)

Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)


Weather (What to Wear)

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

  • The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
  • The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.


Things to Do in the Area

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

Sangres.com Loads of information about the area.

Southern Colorado Homes Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

Rio Grande Scenic Railroad Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

Celtic Music Festival A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

A local landmark...The Devil's Stairsteps.

Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items

Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.
