FRIDAY 4/20
Arrived in Nashville. Stopped at a Wal-Mart Neighborhood Marketplace. I’ve never seen a Wal Mart like this before. It is a grocery store only, not a super center but just a grocery store. Standing in front when I got there, smoking a cigarette was Elvis! Welcome to Tennessee!
Went to dinner that night with a good friend down here. His name is Seth. He had some new artists with him so I ate with Creswell, Relikis and a new female Christian rock band called Ilia.
We ate at a Logan’s Roadhouse and fireworks were gong off while we were waiting!
SATURDAY 4/21
Went to lots of sessions. At a special lunch I went to at the San Antonio Taco Company (YUM!)
All Star United played an acoustic set. Everyday Sunday was there but they didn’t play.
On the way to walking to a restaurant for dinner, Mark from Sanctus Real drove by and honked. Hey Mark, why didn’t you stop and give me a ride?!?! At night I saw Kingsdown, Since October, Ilia and some new all girl screamo band. That girl could growl!!
SUNDAY 4/22
Morning worship was great, led by Desperation. The message was about how after Jesus was baptized and God spoke His pleasure about Him, His ministry to save the world didn’t start right then, but after he went into the wilderness. We may have to go through some refining and testing before God reveals His plan in our lives. But He loves each and every one of ud and has a great plan for each of us.. We are not to take short cuts but wait on his timing, even if it means we must go through the wilderness first.
One the way to lunch I saw the guys of This Beautiful Republic. At lunch Leeland performed as well as Decemberadio and the events closed with Sanctus Real! By the way, President Bush was there!..............OK, it was a George Bush impersonator. He was great!! He even sung a blues song!
In the afternoon there was a reception for DJs and artists. Mark from Sanctus was hanging out by the dessert bar. I talked to This Beautiful Republic there as well as RED, Pillar, Article One, Leeland, Wavorly and Eleventyseven. After that the liner taping session & saw most of the forementioned and Needtobreathe, The Afters, Air 5, Manic Drive, Krystal Meyers.
After dinner, I met up with Bert Elliot, one of our Djs going to school down in Nashville. When I got back downtown I saw Red Cloud perform (he is the BEST freestyle rapper I've ever seen!!) and Pettidee.
Helping Pettidee perform was The Glass City Boyz!!! Attending the event supporting the Glass City Boyz was The Last Broadcast, formerly known as Indy United. It is so cool to see so many of our hometown artists down here!
