This Past Weekend

Hey everyone, sorry we haven't blogged in a little while. It's been crazy, this past weekend has had some major events packed into it, so I'm going to try and let you know of all that happened in this one blog...

So the first part of the week started off with the Car Toys sponsored Go Green Event on Friday at noon. It was held at the Commons Mall in our home town of Federal Way. The day was gorgeous! If you were in WA last Friday, you know what I'm talking about. We just want to thank our good friend, Andrea, for letting us and our friends Push Push Pull play! (They actually just had their CD release show in Orangevale, CA with local fav's, Daphne Loves Derby. Check out their new music at myspace.com/pushpushpull)

Here are some pics from the event (courtesy of Jason Myung).







The next day (Saturday Aug 16th) was freedom fest. You can check out a video that our friend Gary (Push Push Pull) was able to take from our performance. Hope you enjoy it...



So the rest of that night was a blast. We got to eat bomb food (ribs) and hang and meet some bands like Worth Dying For, This Providence, This Beautiful Republic, and MOI.

Soon after that, the next day was the annual summer Foursquare Retreat held at Lake Retreat center in Ravensdale, WA. Now that was a lot of fun. The kids were super supportive. We were only able to do one song, and we were without rhythm section (drummer) that night, however we were able to grab the support of a lot of kids there. The highs school kids really made us feel welcome and at home, and gave us the love.

Then...two days later we were allowed to play a full on show for the same camp, except junior highers this time. Now those kids are loud and full of energy. I remember when I was that young, it seems like it was forever and a day ago, haha. It was great. We had the chance, after the show when all the kids went off to bed, to hang out with some of them for the "electric" game. I wont explain the whole thing, but it was definitely a lot of fun. (my team won! 1A, wooo!!)

So as you can see it's been quite the summer for us so far. We are so happy that these opportunities keep on coming up. We are so blessed and thankful for all the support of everyone that we've come in contact to. A lot of times I feel like I take for granted the blessings that we receive from Christ. It's so easy to get entrapped in your own agenda that you forget whose plans you're living for. We need to really learn to take a breath of fresh air and let our counselor remind us of what we're doing. Until next time friends!

ALSO if you can, please take the time to check out our great friend, Brandon Bee's music at myspace.com/brandonbeemusic. He's a local artist/producer that has just put up some new music. The songs are great!!
