We've played 16 concerts in 3 days. no, i'm not kidding. By the end of the week we will have played 20 events in 7 days (we're playing 4 services at Northview in Abbotsford this week)
For those of you who don't know, I've been on tour playing bass with Perry and The Poorboys. I've known Perry a long time and we've recently started to play together quite a bit. It's a lot of fun and i get to travel and play with a good band so i enjoy it.
For this particular tour we've been blessed to only have to play one built in venue - the LCMS Lutheran Youth Gathering, It takes place once every 3 years and this year there are 27,000 or so kids at the event. I've never seen so many people in one area in my life. We did do 1 off site concert for 600 kids from kansas, that was a lot of fun. here are some pictures from our busy time here thus far.
This one is for Courts. I found this gecko on the screen meshing around our swimming pool. I florida there are so many creatures, mosquitos, geckos and alligators that out door poolyards have these huge framed in mesh things like this. i'll get a better picture to show you guys tomorrow. The body of this gecko was only about an inch long, maybe a bit less. The thing was just tiny
This is the main auditorium to the youth conference
On the first day of the conference there was a pilot writing messages in the sky! he wrote Got Jesus, God = :) and a few other things - just goes to show how much of a big deal this youth conference is
This is a picture from the night that we did the Kansas District Concert. These kids were really responsive and really got into it.

This is a photo for my Mom, Ricka, and Carolyn. It says MN essentials you do not need in Orlando.
This is a picture of perry with a few of our new fans. If you look closely they have orange buttons on their shirts that say 'kiss me, i'm lutheran' i don't think i understand that. mom? do you get that?Talk to you guys soon, - also, feel free to comment! It makes me feel like blogging more often if i know someone is reading!

maybe the case of mosquito repellant on the MN essentials list would have been a good idea?
please don't bring any geckos home for Courtney! besides, there are some little froggy toes waiting for you already. see you soon!
there are tons of mosquitos done here, thats why they have the nets around the pool area
