Gator Aid
Last night Kristin and I took the boys to Jackson, TN to say hey to the MercyMe guys and try doing some internet-y things in a place with no internet. It didn’t really work. The show ended about eleven and then we had about a two and a half hour drive back. The boys were asleep before we left the parking lot and Kristin and I have always traveled better with snacks. We stopped and got some SunChips and Gatorade. I picked strawberry.
Now, I’ve had a lot of Gatorade in my day, and I’ve never really paid much attention to a “favorite flavor”, but last night it occurred to me that I don’t think there are different flavors of Gatorade. I think they are all the same flavor, just with bright colors. Honestly I don’t know if I have ever tasted a difference. I mean, seriously. Anyone out there really have a favorite Gatorade flavor? Can anyone tell a difference? Then Gatorade got really creative and decided to go with the clear Gatorade flavors which, consistent with the rest, all taste the same, only now the only difference is the bright label, rather than the bright liquid. Genius.
This week is picking up and I don’t even know my entire schedule. All I know is there are plenty of things going on and I have to be at a handful of them. Hopefully by the end of the day I will have a decent idea as to what I am doing. And hopefully I will have something more interesting than Gatorade to talk about.
Busy Week
This week is a busy time here in Nashville. Everyone that lives here can attest to that. It’s GMA week and even if you don’t have anything you have to do, everyone from the industry is here doing things they have to do, and it’s like a big reunion.
So far I have managed to keep my calendar pretty open but I know that it will fill up fast. Yesterday I had a great lunch (meeting) with Spence about blogging and social networking and all that. I love talking with people that “get it” and I don’t look like a crazy person when I am talking about blogging. Today is pretty free, but I have a lot of things to get done before the weekend. Then tomorrow, I will be headed to Chattanooga to hang out with these guys and their crew and answer a few questions. These guys will be there too so I’m excited about that. Then on Saturday I will head to Jackson, TN where these guys and these guys are playing a show together, so that will be fun. Stay tuned because I heard that there might be some MercyMeTV stuff going on that day. Sunday I have a meeting with one of those mass text messaging companies to talk about… well… mass text messaging, and Monday there are a few different options of things that might happen. That will start the week, and from there I’m sure it will get busier.
I know a few people have contacted me who are coming to town for GMA Week, but if you are in town let me know on my contact page. Maybe if we get enough people here we can do a blogging dinner get-together type thing. You know a big group of us.
Have a great morning.
Mess In Atlanta
Kristin and I had plans to head to Atlanta this morning. With Winter Jam going on down there, the guys in MercyMe were planning on doing some stuff during the day that I was going to go down and take pictures at. Obviously with the crazy storms down there last night, we not only aren’t going but there isn’t much going on down there.
We have a bunch of friends down there especially since the tour stop was there tonight, so be sure to pray for everyone down there affected.
Driving To Knoxville
I’m driving to Knoxville today. It will be about an eight hour, round trip. The other day MercyMe had a show cancel there, but not before their merch manager had over five thousand CD’s shipped to the venue. So I agreed to rent a truck, and drive out there to get them.
The band is flying in tonight so I will meet them and the bus late tonight and give them the CD’s, then head home. Sounds like a pretty exciting day huh? It actually will be kind of cool to have some time to just drive and think. Later this week Winter Jam is in Nashville so that will be fun to take the boys to.
Can you tell I can’t think of anything to talk about?
