8-10-09 Week in Review

Hi all.

Last week was rather hectic at work. Other than that we visited Church two nights, one to hear about some mission trips and the other to learn about opportunities to serve. I got an interview setup to join the praise team. It'll be nice to play in that situation again. They suggested that Jodi join on the tech team so that we could serve together. I thought it was a great idea and there seems to be some spots that Jodi is interested in. I think they are shooting low and don't realize that she could do many of the more advanced jobs already!

Friday I packed up the kit and Saturday we headed down to Music on the Lawn 2009 take 2. Oddly enough it was exactly one year after the outdoor concert last year, when the guys from Park Lane and I first met. Anyhow, we got set up, got Butch setup, and were ready to got in plenty of time. The other band did their thing and then we took the stage. I'm told it sounded great, we had quite a few people and the kids were going nuts. Leo let the kids up on the stage during my drum solo which I thought was a great addition. I kept the kids engaged all night by occasionally throwing out a drumstick. Good thing I chew through those things quickly!

Sunday we visited my parents. Apparently they are refinishing half their house. Jodi helped picked colors and I hung out with my Dad. That evening we headed to their Church an I helped a local band out and ran sound for them. It wasn't too bad but I wasn't really happy with the sound. I think I was at the extent of the equipment, especially the monitors were mucking things up.
