Heading for The Desert

I'm off to Rock the Desert...don't wait up!

I visited with Midland city councilman Berry Simpson at Kuo's at lunch; he's been assigned as a chauffeur for rockers Kutless (no, you won't hear their tracks on KLOVE). He said they make him feel old and uncool...he's thinking about getting a henna tattoo for the weekend. I started to advise him to be sure to tell them that he plays the trombone and his favorite group is Chicago; I think they'll really respect him after that!

This evening's lineup:

  • Karen Fisher (local gal)
  • Building 429
  • Casting Crowns
  • David Nasser
  • Chris Tomlin

Checklist:

  • Ear plugs (check)
  • Sun screen (check)
  • Rain gear (check)
  • Digicam (check)

Can you tell that the weather is a bit, um, unsettled?

Muad' Dib! Muad' Dib! Muad' Dib!

You've mentioned you like sci-fi. Frank Herbert's "Dune" is perfect considering where you're going!

"God created Arrakis (the desert) to test the faithful. One cannot go against the will of God."

Here's some funky .wav's for the trip. Have a good one, Eric!! :D

Earplugs!? Earplugs!?

I remember when I thought it was sacriligeous (sp?) to bring ear plugs to a concert and would sit on the speakers to really get into the music.

Sigh. I must be getting old because I *wish* I had worn the earplugs back then.
