I’m sitting at the airport in Chicago halfway home from a great trip to Portland.  I have a couple different thoughts on the night but most of all I am thrilled the way that the entire thing turned out.  The recording went great.  The video went great.  Phil did great.  And I think it was a massive step for Phil’s career and for the Christian music industry.  I had a great time being a part of it.

The day started a little shaky since, you know, I had no idea how to do any of the stuff that I said I would do.  I had no clue how to use the camera that I rented, and didn’t even really know if the church had good enough internet to pull it off.  For a detailed, bullet point outline of the day go here.  Once again, there would have been no way to pull off the day without Randy making things happen.  There were a couple freak out moments, but everything turned out great.  I was on the phone with this guy and one of these guys way more than they probably appreciated, but I totally appreciate their help.

Once we did eventually figure everything out we were able to grab lunch with Tyler.  We hadn’t met before but because of blogs we were, once again, able to bypass all the formalities and actually talk.  It’s always cool to meet someone that you feel like you know already.  Cool in a weird sort of way.  After the show Randy and I were able to also meet Samantha and her friend.  Like most of you know, my memory is garbage so I apologize, friend, it was great to meet you.  We talked for a little bit after the show and then packed everything up, and went back to Randy’s house.

All in all, a great night.  I had a blast, got to see Portland again, and now I can’t wait to get home.  Thanks again for watching and getting the word out.  I wonder what’s next.

Hey everyone. Thanks so much for checking out Phil’s show tonight if you did.  If you didn’t see it, you missed something special.  I have lots to talk about, but my brain is mush right now.  I have to be up in five hours to catch a flight home.  I met some great people tonight and honestly the night couldn’t have gone better.  

More to come when I can spell things right.

Alright. I’m here at Randy’s house in (amazing) Portland, Oregon.  The camera and I made it safely through security, a Denver layover, and a farting old women* and we are getting ready for tomorrow.  

I’m pretty excited about all these things coming together and I wanted to remind everyone to make sure they are over at Phil’s blog tomorrow night at 7:30 PM Pacific Time.  It’s going to be a great night and hopefully I don’t screw anything up.

*There was an old lady that told me that she didn’t want a middle seat and that she wanted to sit in my aisle seat.  She was in her late 70’s so I had to let her take my seat and I think she was farting the whole flight.  I wanted to throw up numerous times between Denver and Portland.  Seriously, who farts on a plane?

See you tomorrow.

So tomorrow I will be running around a bunch and I’m not sure I will have much time to blog. For those of you that don’t know, I am heading to Portland to meet up with Phil to record and video his live album show. Well, I won’t be the one recording it, but I will be there during the recording of it… you get the idea.

I’m excited to be in Portland again. There is something magically artistic about that place and normally when I am there something cool happens. It’s also cool that it’s where Randy is, so we will be able to get some work done and actually be in the same room to do the work for once.

A couple random things from today. I officially made the switch from Safari to Firefox, and am not sure that I really like it yet. Everything seems so bubbly and annoying to me. And I swear it’s slower, but I could be making that up. What are you using?

Also Kristin and I are two episodes away from finishing the second season of LOST. Ana Lucia is dead and the show is now better because of it. Although it’s a bit creepy that Michael is all whacked out now. I think Season One kept my attention a little better but it’s still a great show.

I rode the scooter to my friend Michael’s house today. We did a rad video for his blog (that he never updates) but I think it’s not working or something. Everyone head to Michael’s blog and harass him about blogging and say hello for me.

So that’s it from this place. I will be around tomorrow but mostly on Twitter so check me out there. I am a little curious about how many people that read this blog are going to be at the show on Friday. I know a couple people have commented already about being there, so let’s hear it. Who’s watching online, and who’s going to be there?

**Quick update. I am currently editing this in Safari because Firefox was being lame. One more like that and we are in a fight.**
