The cosmic voyage concludes! In this final installment of our Yahn Dawn trilogy, Ben accompanied by "Yellow Shirt Guy," Tofer Toast, break down the climactic yet to some controversial second night of Pretty Lights’ inaugural festival in Buena Vista, Colorado.

Ben opens the episode by acknowledging the long break he took from podcasting due to significant life changes. He candidly discusses the emotional and logistical challenges of moving back to the Chicagoland area from San Diego, particularly with the arrival of his first child. This transition marks a pivotal moment not just in his life, but in his creative endeavors as well. He highlights how packing, moving, and adjusting to living with his in-laws have consumed his time and energy, leaving him feeling overwhelmed yet grateful for the experiences. Maybe this is the end of the road... or just a new beginning?" Life can take unexpected turns, but every experience shapes us.

In this episode of Trip Thru Time, we explore the unforgettable experience of Pretty Lights at Elements Festival with our guests, Brandon and Molly. Dive into the magic of the secret renegade set that took place at 3:30 am, a spontaneous performance that left festival-goers in awe. We also discuss the two captivating sets on Sunday: a solo set that showcased Pretty Lights' unique soundscapes and a full band set that brought the festival to a thrilling close. Join us as we relive these extraordinary moments and hear firsthand accounts from Brandon and Molly, who were there to witness it all. Tune in for an insider's look at the festival's highlights and the community that makes it all possible.
