Spend a Little Time on the Mountain
EPISODE 18: Felix skips school for a good cause: Berea College’s 150th Mountain Day... and runs into Aaron there, who immediately approves of the decision. Both are, unsurprisingly, wearing Seikos.

I Wonder What Seiko You’ll Have Next Week
EPISODE 15: Marc recounts three unforgettable nights of My Morning Jacket in Colorado—outdoor venues that feel almost cosmic in their magic. From the intimacy of Dillon Amphitheater, with lake and mountain views at sunset, to the legendary Red Rocks, these stages were made for the soaring sound of Louisville’s own MMJ, who seem to love Colorado every bit as much as Colorado loves them. Even without traveling, Marc’s mind was out exploring the universe. Along the way, he ran i
