My time with Patrick (Bronson) was brief. Consequently a brief encounter does not limit the number of ways the universe chooses to defecate on you. It just takes its defecation, and makes it more concentrated. Instead of a shit misting, it’s more of a shit monsoon; I shudder when thinking up more examples, so I’ll explain what actually occurred. From the time that we met Patrick to the time we started filming, the universe took Patrick’s keys (car, home and work), bore a deep hole in his credit card pocket to pay a 24-hour locksmith service and bashed out Hunting Hat’s (yeah he was there too) car window to steal his computer.
But, despite all of the bad, there were good moments, too. Like the afternoon I spent with Patrick before the shit storm hit, and this video.

On December 14, 2010 Camp Revival traveled to a bar, in a shed, on Queen Anne hill that overlooked the skyline of Seattle to film WESAFARI. Camp Revival has been listening to WESAFARI’s 2005 release “Alaska” for quite some time. When we heard they were coming out with a new record we knew we NEEDED to film them. Although it was blustery outside, the shed bar had a warm stove, and an impressive collection of beer lights that made the December weather all but disappear. WESAFARI performed the song “Hiccup” off of their new release “Sea Survivor“. Fun fact, WESAFARI are in fact robots. They played multiple takes of the song for us IN THE EXACT SAME TIME EVERY TAKE. That’s not human. Robots.
On Sunday, November 7th Camp Revival filmed Hunting Hat in Seattle’s SODO neighborhood. Given the industrial grime of SODO, we found it important to pay our respects to this craphole by playing a couple street games. Instead of the popular favorite: kick the can, we opted for something a little more extreme; rusty pipe football and severed-electrical-wire jump rope extreme. We’re idiots. Despite our stupidity the filming was a success and Kyle (Hunting Hat) returned safely back to Bellingham.
