A short nearby roadtrip --
Not too far away -- Stop in pretty much any bar in Nederland or the Stage Stop in Rollinsville, CO -- usually something good to drink and chance of decent music

The main bar at the Stanley is the bomb.

Nedfest is awesome. I'm going
Nedfest is awesome. I'm going Saturday.
I think the Stagestop closed.
FYI Estes Park is really overcrowded these days. I'd recommend the other side of the park by Grand lake.
If not, just be prepared for a lot of tourists. It's a good place for family souvenir shopping.

I'll post a Ned thread
I'll post a Ned thread closer to the date. Perhaps a Zoner 3D meet up between sets at the mead tent ? -- I'd be happy to buy you folks a beverage.

Well gee, this might change
Well gee, this might change everything. Let me check into this. Maybe i can drive up early and get my better half to fly up. I have more flexibility than she does.

It's a sweet little laid-back
It's a sweet little laid-back festival withing walking distance to the town's Main St. Mostly locals and regulars in attendance.
Don't know what you plan for accommodations, but they do offer tent car/camping on site (in the little park next to the fest) for those with tickets. Usually looks like a couple dozen groups do that --- not hundreds of people or anything. Local hotel rooms are usually booked but there are house rentals around. It's about an hour drive to Estes Park.
There are always late night shows that go to 1 or 2 at a local venue.
Oh - and it usually rains for an hour before the sun sets. It can get chilly on occasion, even though it's August..
