Someone told me that February is the biggest month for snow in the Springs, and I thought that to be true as it started snowing the 31st of January in preparation for the first. But other than some -40 degree weather and a few delays...we have coasted through with many a beautiful, warm, sunny afternoon to remind one of the playful days of autumn.
This past weekend was full. Friday was a hard hitting the books day. We have to compose a song for theory, write three papers for psalms, and get ready for finals in all four classes. But Saturday I found myself at Audio Analyst, a sound touring company that also designs and puts in systems in churches and other venues nationwide. They have started doing "training sessions", they run through some sound and lighting basics, feed you subway, and then ask you to remember them when you are looking to upgrade your sound or lights... marketing brilliance!
Saturday night found a few of us downtown at Jack Quinn's an Irish pub with live music... a one man band of old timed fashion- steel guitars, foot tapping percussion, raspy vocals, and bluesy chords. Jack Quinns has the. most. amazing. potato wedges. hands down.
And Sunday, after church, coffee, and lunch, where I was once again reminded by a four year old that any use of the word "stupid" would earn me the loss of TV for the rest of day.... several of us ended up at the World Arena for the Rock and Worship Road Show, which featured MercyMe, Jars of Clay, Matt Maher, Lecrae, Thousand Foot Krutch, and The Afters. It was one of those pay $10 at the door and as long as you don't mind sitting up high in the stands, you don't have to worry about getting there too early. Totally worth it to hear Maher's "Hold Us Together" live.
