- "It took place by a 16th century Monastery, mostly debris, with a partially Collapsed roof, a truly amazing place... Hidden in the forest, it became a feeling guarded by nature. Occasionally there are as many as a hundred people, this turned into fifty as the bonfire gradually turned to embers and with lights and candles, people came inside the monastery. A mysterious outdoor experience. A perfect place shrouded in western pine." <ref>[[In_An_Imaginary_Place_Out_In_The_Country]]</ref>
+In another interview, [[Marcus Eoin|Marcus]] described them as:
+<blockquote>"They're like a hybrid of an outdoor bonfire party and a very small gig, because we can do any old thing we want, there's no pressure to fit a typical format, it's just for fun. Some of our friends DJ and we put together small sets of weirdness, usually tapes with unreleased tracks, chopped-up dialogue, movie music and other stuff. We use multiple speaker set-ups that play various things from separate locations, which means it's different every time."<ref>"[[Boards of Canada's Seasons in the Sun]]", Kevin Hainey, Exclaim!, 2005</ref></blockquote>
 In April 2005, a cryptic image appeared on the [[Boards of Canada]] web page, seemingly referring to this practice.  This image, and another following it, sparked a series of curious events as fans around the world collaborated in an attempt to determine the meaning of the mysterious images amidst red herrings and false clues posted by opportunistic hoaxers.

 == Conclusion ==
-In the end, virtually nothing concrete is known about what (if anything) happened on June 10, 2006.  Apart from the strange images posted on the official site, all additional websites, forum posts, etc. were ultimately found to be created by attention-seeking artists and opportunistic hoaxers.  Meanwhile, very little has ever been mentioned or cited on the topic from trusted sources. There are, however, very rare occurrences of more in-depth discussions regarding 'Redmoon Nights' occasionally surfacing in interviews.
+In the end, virtually nothing concrete is known about what (if anything) happened on June 10, 2006.  Apart from the strange images posted on the official site, all additional websites, forum posts, etc. were ultimately found to be created by attention-seeking artists and opportunistic hoaxers.  Meanwhile, very little has ever been mentioned or cited on the topic from trusted sources. There are, however, very rare occurrences of more in-depth discussions regarding 'Redmoon Nights' occasionally surfacing in interviews dating back to at least 2002. This would suggest that '[[Red moon|The Redmoon incident]]' is not a stand-alone event.
 As it stands, the meaning of the strange images is as unknown as it was in the beginning.
