Only got 4 and a half hours of sleep! That’s not much for me! But I learned the first day that we sleep in 90 minute cycles. If you don’t break that cyce, then you’ll be ok. I had three full cycles of sleep and it seems to be working, at least as of 2:15pm when I am writing this. Had breakfast with Hillsong United. That was cool. They played recenty at Battle Cry. Next, sat in on a seminar, then went to the Tooth & Nail Suite to interview KJ-52, Project 86, Falling Up, Seventh Day Slumber and Hawk Nelson. At lunch saw Decemberadio perform and Barlow Girl. Mark Shultz was one of the emcees; he’s hilarious! Ran into the Glass City Boyz after lunch and talked a bit.
Went to some seminars in the afternoon. I saw T-Bone at what seems to be the very same place I see him almost every year, the main entrance at the hotel next to the convention center.
At dinner I attended the EMI CMG records dinner, this is the label that Sanctus Real and This Beautiful Republic are with. Bethany Dillon, from the Lima listening area, performed along with Toby Mac. At night I saw Falling Up play at one place then left to go see This Beautiful Republic play at a club where a lot of legendary performers including Johnny Cash and The Police. TBR sounded excellent!! From there i went back to the place I was before to see Demon Hunter!!!
This was the highlight if me week!!! OH MY GOSH!! They were great!!!!! They did 1000 Apologies, My Heartstrings among others and closed with Not Ready To Die!!! WOW! Afterward I was so fired up!!!
TUESDAY 4/24
Started the day doing several interviews including The Afters, Demon Hunter (they’re working on a new CD), TFK (they are too!), Run Kid Run, The Send and Ruth. They’re all great guys, and Run Kid Run was hilarious! Didn’t learn too much at the seminars I went to. At one they talked about the number one reason people don’t listen to your radio station. It was because people are too busy. Hey guys, slow down! Clear your schedule and listen to the radio more!
Around 5:15 if you were listening to the station you heard me talk with Kevin of Disciple. Went on a dinner cruise in the evening with the Provident Label Group. A couple of the guys of RED were at our table. The guys of Third Day were the hosts of the event where we payed Bingo for some prizes, believe it or not! Performing were Leeland, Casting Crowns, and Michael W. Smith did a song! Afterward I saw Seventh Day Slumber, Adie Camp and Jeremy Camp. Went to one final concert showcase and saw Wavorly, Nevertheess and RED! RED did Breathe Into Me for their last song. A great way to end my night!
