Smoking cigars on the beach in North Carolina after playing a very misleading Bed and Breakfast (no bed no breakfast).

"Abusing Tony Victorys open bar tab in Chicago
Our intense madden games which often led to near violence (not even kidding).

"Matt playing guitar in Pussy Tim and the Mother F***ers; a side project that wasn't real at what we thought was a sparsely attending festival but when the lights came up there were 25000 people there.
There is so much more.

"We are so f***ing sorry George. We are so sorry Carla. We are so sorry Marc and Melissa. And our heart breaks for his daughter Georgie. We are so sorry.

Matt you are missed and we love you. -BSF"
