Everythings All Right
In 2005 I did a walking tour with Rotten Milk called “Everythings All Right”. It started off with us doing our laundry and telling memories we had of certain articles of clothing. Then we went to a diner and did backwards karaoke where we listened to Beach Boys song in our headphones and sang a capella. Then we had everyone write down their fears and tie them to balloons and we launched them and we all had a toast.
It was called “Cheers To Fears”.
