thevisualCollective 2.0 trip to Zion: in everyone’s words, as documented by Katie McKinnon. A warning, some of these may be hilarious only to trip participants (:
04.21.11 (Leaving in the dark. Arrive in Page, AZ near 2am.)
“The house is outta control! I feel like we’ve just stepped back in time.” KatieM.
“With a bird clock that chirps every half hour.” Kyra
“Holy f*cking Santa Clause Sh*t.” Willie
“We should do a time lapse of us sleeping, with paranormal activity in the background.” Andrew
(with a camera on a dolly right next to Willie’s crotch) “I always seem to be on the cusp of filming porn, and then it just stops, and I’m like ‘ahh!’” Lucas
“I have to sleep naked, and no one wants that…” Matt … (Lucas raises his hand)
“Yeah, I was thinking of sleeping in the next room… till I noticed the SAW CLOCK.” Willie
“I bet there’s ghost salsa in the fridge… mmm ghost salsa.” Lucas
04.22.11 (We leave Page, AZ, but not without a quick trip to walmarrrt, with the Lion King soundtrack to lead our way.)
“Phil Collins had way too much to do with this, I think.” Taylor
“The circle of life, that song is way too epic.” Matt
(Onward to Glen Canyon Dam, and then to Lone Rock Beach, UT.)
“I just drank tequila straight up, chased by a kool-aid burst.” KatieM.
(Andrew is digging a hole in the sand for a campfire, Taylor offers to help) “Don’t worry, I see my cat do this all the time.” Taylor
(Matt jumping into the water) “I just hurt my tits so bad… and now I’m stuck.” Matt
“There’s sand in my buttcrack.” KatieM.
“I’m wet.” Genevieve
“(:” KatieM.
“Everyone started reading my journal, can you believe THAT! Oh well, it’s all going in a blog post.” KatieM.
“I want mimosas!” Stephanie “What is this, Buckingham Palace?!” Willie
“B double E double R U N… beer run!” Taylor
“This has been the most adventurous trip back to walmarrrrt, EVER.” KatieM.
“This has been an adventure outside of an adventure.” Genevieve
04.23.11 (We were rained on last night, tents ate people, and then there was eleven. Kanab, UT, to shoot at an old wild west set, but it had been burned down.)
(Gas station in Kanab) “Let’s get in a fight!” Taylor
(Big AL’s Burgers for lunch) “More like Big Gay Al’s!” KatieM.
(Upon entering Zion, we traveled through a long dark tunnel where I could barely write. However, Lucas was in our car, and was being very quotable. Somehow the subject came up of being unable to see things in the dark, including porn.)
“Braille porn is so much better than regular porn!” Lucas
“The Park Service, where most of our employees were around before electricity was invented.” Lucas
“The Park Service, eh.” Lucas
“The Park Service, where we don’t exactly know how to deal with car accidents.” Lucas
“The Park Service, where we don’t believe in lights in Zion park tunnels.” Lucas
(The Park Service guy talking to the car in front of us needed a voiceover, enter Lucas) “So, uh, what you’re gonna do is, uh, read this paper, it has everything you need to know in here. Everything I am telling you right now is, uh, on this paper also, I am only taking the time to tell you in case you can’t read. I don’t have a Braille copy back here, but I do have Braille porn.” Lucas (voicing over park service guy.)
“I’m gonna make a comic book for deaf kids, with Braille in it!” Lucas “You mean, blind kids?” KatieM. “Same thing.” Lucas
(At the campground in Zion, we came up with a new drink: 1/3 tequila, 2/3 fruit punch drink; pour into a camp cup.) It is called “Tequila (to kill or) Punch a Mockingbird” (1 person, Genevieve Convention Clayton, likes this)
A funny camp convo, involving a dad and son: “Daddy, would you rather be a girl?” “No.” “I know! Girls are ICKY!” KatieM: “Yeah! Girls have cooties!”
(While taking photos of a bug) “Somebody hold him!” Taylor “No way, he might be an assblaster.” Willie “An assblaster? Is that the technical name?” KatieM. “Actually, it would be ‘assblasticus insecticus.’” Willie
(Chillin under the olive tree, various random conversations began to develop) “I have heard of a certain kind of sweetener, made in Mexico, all organic, costs a thousand dollars.” KatieR. “Nothing in Mexico costs a thousand dollars, maybe a thousand pesos.” Taylor “Unless there is cocaine added!” Lucas
“Hey, kids are complicated, and if I ever had the urge to have a kid, I would just go to the local flea market.” Lucas “…or the Elementary School?” Matt “I am not allowed near the Elementary School anymore.” Lucas
“We should take a nap, too” KatieM. “I bet we could take a louder nap than them (;” Taylor
(While Playing Yahtzee, rather loudly) “Hey, keep it down, guys!” Andrew “Sorry, dad!” Everyone
“The sound of this beercap against this metal table kinda turns me on, probably because it is similar to Taylor purring.” KatieM. “I’m keeping this bottlecap.” Taylor
“For me, it is watching someone wash windows.” Genevieve “Rawr.” KatieM.
“You know what else gets me off? The sound of people shouting YAHTZEE!” Genevieve
“Perez Hilton made me Yahtzee once.” Lucas
“I actually just Yahtzee’d… right now.” Taylor
“We went to my yahtzee and we yahtzee’d all night long.” Katya
“Square to Bob, dude.” Lucas
04.24.11 (Tram on the way to our first hike in Zion. Someone started humming the theme to Jurassic Park, and we all joined in. Donna was our tram guide: “Thanks Donna!”)
“The Park Service, where we do it in one take.” Lucas
“The Park Service, where our buses run on propane.” Lucas
“The Park Service, yeah, we got agents.” Lucas (The funny thing is, when President Obama visited the Grand Canyon, the Secret Service lost sight of him, but Park Service knew his exact location.)
(While enjoying a wonderful snack of Cuties) “It seems like you always have these little oranges!” KatieM. “Yeah, I’m from Florida, where if you don’t eat five oranges a day, you don’t graduate.” Lucas
(While hiking Angel’s Landing) “Why would you pave this trail?” Matt “Wheelchair access” Taylor “Could you imagine pushing Grandma up this hill?!” Matt
(Chipmunks at the summit were fearless)“Get out of here, chipmunk! I ain’t got nothing for you, Chip! Why don’t you go find your brother, Dale, and get lost!?” KatieM.
“Angel’s Landing… yeah, I’d rather be on Facebook.” Lucas
“The Park Service, we got more rocks than Kanye” Lucas
(Back at camp) “You probably can’t buy alcohol in Utah on a Sunday.” Taylor “That’s dumb, Jesus drank wine!” Alissa
(Making Chili in the rain) “Get the fake meat.” Andrew “Is this easy to open or do I have to use my brain?” Matt “this is Crazy Campsite Chtulu Colon Cleanser Chili!” Taylor
04.25.11 (Driving back home through the Res)“Anyone want any of my taco flavored kisses… I mean doritos?” Willie
“Don’t kill us because we’re rocking out to the Macarena… because that would just be embarrassing. The investigators check the ipod, ‘yeah, looks like the last song playing was the Macarena…’” Matt
(Le Fin. Hope ya’ll enjoyed! Wish I had documented more! KatieM.)
