Too many words.

Allentown, PA. 2 hour car drives and good people. Always in the year 1996. Windows down. Instantly in travel mode the minute you cross state lines. Our band in the back seat. Picked up by strangers. Falling Rocks. Gaslight Campground. Strange road sign coincidences. Skunks & Mountain Pies. Cassette players. 6 1/2 mph. Showers. Campfires and hospitality.
"You can't leave until you've tried a mountain pie." "What is it?" "...don't worry about it." (basically.)




Ohio. Granola by the water. Less humidity.
"ARE YOU GONNA DESTROY MY PROPERTY????"



Berea Fest day 1. Old English. First meetings, missed faces, new friends, old friends, better friends. (KT, Dave, Kara, Dakota, Carey, Mowgli, Heather, Chris, Madeline, Steph, Cory, Mauri, Johnny, Mikey, Lauren, Matt, Theo, Jared, Randy and on and on..) Hugs. Slingshot Dakota and the 2 songs I wanted to hear. High Fives. Algernon in strange places. Always laying in the grass. Always watching Ninja. Pink Houses. Paul Baribeau. New emotions. The Sidekicks. Taco Bell. Camping Out. Naked Guy. Bryant & Luke.
"Did you hear about the Cuyahoga River in 1962?!"














Showers with water bottles. Waking up early. Gross water. Laying in the sun. PB&J's. Cheap watermelon. Waterfalls and feeling alive. The jeep running without keys. Butterflies. Berea Fest day 2. The person I wanted to talk to the most always coming to me first. More high fives. Getting back in the swing of things. Wandering around by myself. Telling Dave stories. Getting bit by a fly and bleeding. Lemuria. Toby. Sitting with Carey and Heather for a little while. Southern accents. Talks about Seattle and really, really thinking about it. Theo and surprise Defiance, Ohio "covers" and freaking out about it. Flooded tents. Burrito fest. Pheramones dance party. Super Bobby and the surprise it was. Tan legs. Good Luck. Delay.





Stressing out. Matt is good people. Finding a ride to Cleveland. Missing Tigers Jaw but ending up driving Adam's car back to Scranton. The way things always work out for us. Listening to tapes. Driving through the night. Sheetz. Little pizza heaven. Awesome chinese food. Finding unreleased albums. 3 hour naps in the car. Long talks. Good talks. Friends willing to pick you up 3 hours from home. Terrifying car rides. Stupid jokes. Hicks. Car crazy. Loving life.
