“You can convey things musically that you just can’t convey in words, because words are super limited. You can describe the box your feelings are in, but you can’t describe feelings. If you’re writing poetry, you can get closer. But with music, it bypasses the mind, it bypasses you thoughts, and it gets into places you might resist otherwise. Because words plug you into something someone else said; words are charged, positively or negatively. Whereas music really isn’t.”

“My theory is creative ideas come down from the universe like raindrops, and people get hit with them at the same time, and whoever responds to it first in a creative, substantial way, they usually reap the rewards. We don’t get creative ideas because they’re ours. We get creative ideas because it’s time.”
— Peter Kater, multi-platinum selling pianist/composer, of Boulder

How it came to be that the yoga festival got new toilets
SO TO RECAP:
There was a yoga festival. Something seemed weird around the portable toilet area. Then one locked — from the inside. Then a dude, covered in human feces, went running out of it.
Then he was gone, because what are you gonna do, tackle the guy?
Then they found him in Vail.
Then he was found. And he admitted to hanging out inside the toilets as well as peeping at folks in various bathrooms around the city.
Because he “wanted to start a new goddess religion.”
…so now the yoga festival is going to have different toilets. Safer toilets. Toilets into which, apparently, people cannot fit.
“Structurally, it’s impossible,” said a spokeswoman.
