To the Editor:

Hey there, Scott from Mott’s here. I just wanted to take a second out of summer madness to say a couple of deeply felt, honest-to-goodness, true thanks-yous! 

First, to all the drummers and other folks who participated in Built on Stilts this year — 26th year we’ve been doing it! Seriously, soooooo many amazing peeps are involved in performing and making it all happen, putting in sooooo much time and passion. It would suck to drum by myself! Thank you thank you thank you! So many friends i know and others I don’t think I know! Brent, Abby, Anna, Grace, Laura, Roberta, Paul, Steve, Rick, Chris, etc., on and on and on! Thank you all very, very much. It’s all so much more fun and a greater experience with all your energies.

Second, to all those peeps who stand in the Mott’s line every day! It is truly humbling to me, truly, to see the same folks year after year, day after day, standing in that line to come in! I guess that’s part of the summer insanity here, lines for everything. But truly, your patronage is so greatly appreciated. The over-the-counter friends I’ve made over the decades help fill up my heart and make me smile, and I shall carry that for eternity. I apologize for every mess-up we did, we are all trying really hard to make it as fast and good as possible, we really are. We want you to leave happy and caffeinated. Soon I shall be able to sleep once again. Peace to everyone, and thank you!
