Fun facts about (people who sang on) this album:
-*Miles Klee had just gotten back from studying abroad when the 2006 recording sessions started. Miles almost certainly made up parts on most of the songs we recorded then.-*I was the music director during the Winter Study 2006 recording sessions, but then I went abroad right after we finished recording. I found out the name of the album when Stephen Abbott emailed me the final cover art and the message, “We just thought this was the right name for the album.” To this day, I love that cover art, and am incredibly glad I was not involved in that process, because I’m sure I would have screwed it up.-*This album features three singers who attended high school together, and as college students, we all performed a jam at that high school during the winter of 2004. Those students? Sumana Cooppan Wolf ("Freedom 90"), Christine Kearsley ("59th St. Bridge Song"), and yours truly, Andy Eklund ("Silhouettes"). Amanda Ali ("Hard to Say I'm Sorry") grew up 13 miles away, and as I recall, she had fans in the audience as well.-*Attending this annual a capella jam at a high school auditorium outside of Boston was an annual tradition for several years.... until the high school cut its a cappella group. But numerous GQers from those years had sleepovers at the Hunt, Cooppan, and Eklund households. Only one year involved a terrible snow storm. And my parents are still talking about how much breakfast Karl Naden and Ellen Crocker were able to eat! It must have been the home cooking.

A few things GQ learned in the making of this album:
- *You can’t write with ballpoint pen on the cover side of a CD, and if you do that on the master copy you’ll need to get a new CD master produced - *You can get a bit punchy mastering an album all night on a Sunday and then driving back across state just in time for Monday classes- *J Stefan Kaczmarek is the king of vocal percussion (Rain King as case in point)

===Party to Go, Volume III===
GQ's first album, was recorded from December 1997 to January 1998, as GQ overcame a lice epidemic and, you know, school work, to produce a marathon 23 song album (there is a hidden track following the last song). The diverse set of songs ranged from GQ's first, Brown-Eyed Girl (solo by Adam Bloom), to Higher and Higher (solo by Hilary Ley Jager), which appeared on the CD before it was ever sung in concert, which explains why it ends in a fadeout.
