Rock the Desert 2005

I just noticed that the 6th annual Rock the Desert Christian music festival is scheduled in Midland County for August 5-6, at the same venue off Highway 1788 as last year. The line-up of musicians is incredible, including Third Day, Mercy Me, Toby Mac, Salvadore, Pillar, Jeremy Camp, Tree 63, Sanctus Real and others.

Last year, I volunteered as a member of the TV camera crew and thus had a better-than-front-row seat as well as a backstage pass. I assume that I'm not needed this year, as I wasn't asked to work, but it's just as well. August 6 happens to be the date for Blogathon 2005, to which I've already committed my time and resources.

Still, some of my favorite groups are on stage Friday night, so I have a decision to make: do I head out and catch the music, or make an early night of it and get as much sleep as I can before the 24-hour Blogathon? As usual, my heart and my head aren't in agreement.

Regress back to your early 20's and do both! LOL. You only live once and all that jazz!

Rachel, I'm not sure I could even do that in my early 20s! (I've been a very boring fellow all my life.)

Eric, moving the concert up a couple of weeks is catching more than few of us by surprise. We thought we'd be able to do family vacation AND concert this summer ... but not now :-(

I say go for broke ... and both. Work the cameras Friday, and the keyboard Saturday and Sunday ... then sleep until Labor Day! :-)

I'll be thinking of you ... while taking it easy and sleeping-in during my vacation!

I'll be thinking of you...

If you really do, then I suggest you need to take Remedial Vacationing 101. ;-)
