Botany Camp! Updated!

Botany camp is cool.

Making a friend at botany camp is cool.

Trading emails with a friend from botany camp, 13 years later. Also cool.

Clicking on a link in an email from said botany camp friend and finding a myspace page demo with a song called "botany camp". Super F*ucking cool.

Listening to "botany camp" right now. priceless.

"Flashes of light cross my windshield and the lake is too full for swimmin.

Driving late at night with nothing on my mind."

...later in the song...

"Flowers taped on pages. We'll destroy this town.

Eight full hours of sleep is all that you can ask."



UPDATE!!!!!

so...Jenn, the lead singer for Botany Camp (which btw would be a good name for a band, not just a song) tells me that the lyrics are infact: "Flowers taped on pages, hail destroyed this town."

I understood the lyrics to be:
"Flowers taped on pages. We'll destroy this town."

Jenn reminded me that one of our classmates grew up on a farm relatively near by (I forget where) and they had a nasty hailstorm that damaged a whole lotta crop...and that was the inspiration for the word choice. Meanwhile, I was thinking about the collective Cedar Point Biological Station thought that they were different than the locals and that they (we) could in fact "destroy this town" in the sense that our collective spirit could override the nature of the town...which in fact never did happen...but anyway...if you're tired of botany camp, check out the other demo songs. I especially like "When things wind down" which is about the end of a house party. i love it. and it makes me want to throw an old fashioned house party, complete with beer-dampened carpet and poisoned housplants.

"Be sure to grab your asshole friend. He's passed out in the upstairs bathroom."
