UCYC Day 2: Prescott is A-Plus

This day was one of those long days. One of those days that feels like it's going on and on and on, but you're loving every second of it, so as long as it feels, you still don't want it to end. Nathan opened up the session spitting his brand new piece, "Zuckerberg Gospel." The kids loved it, seriously. The speaker, Luke Wright, was spectacular, and was able to play off of Nathan's piece, as well as all of our pieces throughout the week. After the first session, we grabbed lunch with the kids, which in all honesty, some of our best relationships came from communal cafeteria time, and then we had the rest of the day off until the night session where Danny would be performing his solo piece. We decided to be tourists in Historical Old Town Prescott, and what a grand decision it was. It took us by surprise how beautiful this little town was. You hear "Arizona" and you immediately think desert and cacti, but this quaint town seemed more like a product of the east coast, with beautiful brick buildings, vintage shops, chic bars and coffee shops, and beautiful courthouses and libraries. We had a great time letting loose for a few hours, touring around the city, and even ran into a few of the campers around town. We stopped in a cafe called The Raven, where we carried out one of our traditions which is to have a toast with cider. It was a first time toasting with warm cider, but it was some of the tastiest cider I've ever had! We then headed back to camp, where we grabbed dinner and then went to the night session where Danny performed one of his newer pieces, "Serenity" (videos of Nathan and Danny's pieces will be on the Spit in the Mud youtube channel soon). Afterwards was Redneck Bowling Night, where all of the campers and leaders dressed up like hicks and went into town to go Bowling. We had a great time hanging out with all the kids and videotaping for our 4 Second Competition (we asked the kids who could do the coolest thing in 4 seconds and at the end of the weekend we gave the winners Spit in the Mud post it notes). We headed back to our cabin and made pizza and ate It's-Its, listened to Jeff play some sick covers, and then headed off to bed. It was a long day sure, but definitely one to remember.
