I'm pretty lazy when it comes to blogging

I blog when I have nothing to blog about and last weekend something happened worth blogging about and I haven't done it yet. Well, better late.

So, like I said before, we went to see Switchfoot in beaumont, tx this last weekend. We got to beaumont at about 10:30 and found that the venue was a small outdoor lot with a stage where people were setting up sound. We got where they told us the line started which was pretty much side stage. Well, around 11:00 a tour bus showed up and parked right in front of us. Several people walked in and out of it until finally, lead singer Jon Foreman walked out. We were the only people in line so we were pretty excited not to have to fight for his attention. He was on the phone so he finished up his conversation and headed over to shake our hands and say hi. He asked us what there was to do in beaumont and we sadly told him we weren't from there. He decided to walk around the block to look for some antique shops but not before we handed him a demo and told him how much his music means to us, for which he was grateful.

Then, guitarist Drew Shirley steps off and says hi as well. He mentioned something about his Grandparents living in beaumont. Anyway, a little later he came back and asked if we new our way around beamont, to which we said no. He then explained that he wanted to rent a car to go see his grandma but he could only rent one for 2 days at a time which wouldn't work. He then asked, if he could find directions, if we could give him a ride. So, pretty much Nathan drove Drew around beaumont for a while with me and michael in the back seat. When you've been listening to a band for so long, something like that is kind of surreal. Anyway, we got to talk to him about tune in tomorrow as well as michael's solo project and we told him that we had given Jon a demo. He said he'd give it a lisen as well as hook us up with free shirts. He also got Michael's $20 acoustic guitar signed by the band. Pretty cool. Not to mention we were front row for one of the best live shows music has to offer.

So surprisingly we got out of there around nine because the show started early. That put me home by 1AM leaving time to get a few hours of sleep. Then I got up at five, left at six, and got to a church in dallas at 8:30 to help with worship. Then I met my new friend for lunch which was outstanding. The lunch and the new friend. The drive home from dallas was rough, but other than that an amazing weekend.

The funny thing about it is that I prayed before we left that we'd be in the right place at the right time. pretty crazy.
