September 14th

The next day we went to Red Rocks. And it was beautiful. The kind of beautiful where all you can do is stare out the window, and use expletives to describe how beautiful everything is. Highlights include: dinosaur prints inside the rocks, Matt getting lost before show time and joining the band a quarter of the way into My My, and watching Bob Log III.

Cell phone call during the day, at the Monolith festival,

Zac: Hey, do you have the keys to the van, Garrett needs his sweatshirt ...

Matthew: well... I do but I'm a bit pre occupied at the moment, so I don't think I can get them to you right away because I m on top of a mountain.

Zac: Jesus. (to Garrett) he's on a mountain.

Matthew: Is it an emergency? Because if it is, I could probably be back down in about two hours.

Excerpts from interview:

Interviewer: So for this next section, we want you to come up with a top five list. What we were thinking is you could do the top five pieces of information that you would like to share with other aspiring musicians.

Matthew: Because we're such wise old men at this point...

Jonathan: Maybe one should be about never eating field corn from the side of the road.

Garrett: What?

Brian: Jon's uncle thinks field corn isn't fit for human consumption.

Zac: I feel like that is up for debate.

Brian: They fertilize it with human feces.

Zac: Not always...

Garrett: Oh right, on our way to Cleveland...

Interviewer: So are you guys ready?

Brian: They grow it to feed cows...
