Man this is family.
Roaming around the mountains that I’ve never been to
hours become days in the good sense of the phrase
a short time that seems like a lifetime
going down to the river, trees that cut the sky
and pine needles keeping the dirt warm like a blanket
The best people
The best place
The best wine
sleeping a few hours after grinding your bones
on dusty dirt trails
Be awake so as not miss out on anything
the most beautiful people
the most beautiful place
the most beautiful wine
Baby Baby Baby
I got the feeling
That this was eye opening
mind blowing
Un
forgetable
don’t know if I have the gas to get home
but I already feel like I’m home.

It was great that even when we thought we knew what we were planning to do, you give us an exercise, to ground us; to put us all on the same page.
I appreciate the advice, the personalized feedback and conversation. Everyone did a great job in making me feel welcome and at home in Dunsmuir.
thank you.

First of all I’d like to thank all of you for putting this together and giving us the opportunity as students to be able to work with professional artists that more importantly than artists, are people just like me. There’s no superiority within the group.
I liked all the information and feedback. I learned a lot from the weekend and felt comfortable being there. I really hope to attend more of these and to see you all more. I’d like to come back to Mt. Shasta and Dunsmuir. I’d like to let you all know that I’m really grateful for everything and if you are in the city, hit me up.
