"Hallelujah...holy ____....where's the Tylenol?"
(Chevy Chase, Christmas Vacation)
What a busy weekend....I feel so tired and beat up by the cold weather, the lack of sleep, and generally sore muscles.
But, the VBC shindig is finally behind us. A lot of work went into getting that thing prepped for, but it wound up being cool. I wish it wasn't so late (after the hockey game), and more people could've stayed longer, but it was fun while they could. Still, I could have done without the breaking of strings on not one, but two guitars... Note to self: Must play softer...
Random notes about the event:
- The meeting room was COLD to begin with, but when the crowd got there, it got HOT...
- There were probably about 130 people who showed up from various churches in Killen, Guntersville, and Decatur...
- J-mo's drums sounded pretty good, as did our guitar amps. I loved being able to turn the Vox up more than a 1/4 turn...
- Teenagers are more fun to play for than adults. They just have fun doing whatever...
- It was nice being able to drive our vehicles right into the room to unload them. Very cool...
- Kailyn apparently loved watching the hockey game. Cool...my 2 1/2 year old daughter likes hockey. Fights and all. (I'm a great dad...).
- Props to Eli for showing up all 'blinged' out for the event...
- BIG props to Philip for letting us use his sound system AND renting the trailer for us. As I've said before, he's got an incredible heart to lend a hand...
- It was very nice to play on a big stage. Lots of room to move around. LOTS...
- Scott's right. Though we like "3 a.m.", most teenagers do not... Heh...
- I've never seen a human being jump over another human being standing up before...
- I liked the Kailyn/Emma mosh pit...
- Never break an A-string
- Never break a low E-string
- Dave likes to yell at refs...LOL.
All in all it was fun.
Church this morning was fun, too. Had several people voice how much they loved the 'rockin' set of songs this a.m., though someone griped on a comment card that it was too loud. -sigh- Some people just don't get it. This morning's songs were supposed to be loud. I think some people view all guitar-driven music as 'loud,' though. Again, some people just don't get it.
But we like it loud :->
