Seattle

I woke up this morning to the bus stopping at 6:50 and a bunch of commotion and orders that we needed to get up and be inside a radio station in twenty minutes.  That’s how my day started and here it is 11:30 and I’m still going like crazy.  Today was a long one.  Three different radio stations, the first ever MercyMe Tweet & Greet, a pretty cool contest that we will show you tomorrow on The Roadhshow Blog, and then of course, the show and broadcast.  All that to say, it’s been a long day.  That’s for sure.

And on top of it, We’re here in Seattle and I haven’t had a chance to get one cup of coffee.  Seriously.  There’s something wrong with that.  In fact, I don’t think I have had a cup of coffee yet on this tour, and to be quite honest, I’m a little sad about that.

Tomorrow we are headed for Boise, ID.  I’ve only been there once, but I’m hoping it has some coffee.  Sorry for the play by play post tonight.  I promise something a little more exciting once I’m not too tired to think.  I did just catch wind that a one Mr. Steve Fee just landed in Seattle to play a show at this same arena tomorrow night.  I think he might be on his way over to hang out before we leave.  I wonder if he’ll bring me coffee.

I’m Going To Do What?

So, I’m not all that great talking in front of people.  I never have been. In fact, this whole blogging line of work is a direct result of my interest in being ‘behind the scenes’ not smack dab in front.  I don’t like cameras, I don’t like microphones and I don’t like tons of eyes looking at me at once.  And according to Bart, that’s all about to change.

Yesterday I found out that Bart has decided that it would be ‘fun’ if him and I went out at the beginning of the show every night of The Rock & Worship Roadshow and talked a little.  Excuse me?  Talk a little?  See I don’t do that well, especially in front of…. oh… ten thousand people. Turns out Bart wants to talk about The Roadshow Blog, and what we are doing on there and all the plans we have for the tour and be involved in some sort of contest-y things that are going on.  The only thing is, Bart is used to and very confortable talking in front of that many people and has been for years.  I, on the other hand… not so much.

So if the bands aren’t enough, the train-wreck that is me talking in front of thousands of people is worth the ten bucks it costs to get in.  I may not see you on the tour, but I’m guessing you’ll see me.  Nice. (Insert thick sarcasm.)

How are you in front of people?  Can you hang, or do you get that fevery, dizzy, want to throw up feeling?  Just curious.
