The concert
The concert went, well… I’m just too tired to write about it now, I’m going to take a nap and write more later..
EDIT:
Ok, Tuesday was such a crazy day! I was up at 6:45am and we got to bed around 2am. The concert went fairly well, except for the fact that the headliner didn’t even get to play. The concert was out at the fairgrounds and of course it had to be the windiest day EVER in Grand Junction. Toby Mac was almost done with his set when they decided that it was so windy that it was getting dangerous. I was sitting at one of the product tables when I heard the announcement that Audio Adrenaline wouldn’t be going on. I was shocked! I really think that most of the people came for Toby Mac anyway, so I didn’t really hear too many people complaining. It was so cold out there that I think everyone was just glad to come inside.

Other items of note:
*I drove many of the various band members around, including Toby Mac and Mark, the lead singer of Audio Adrenaline. They were all nice, just really…. normal.
*After the concert, the crew was bringing down the (huge wall of) speakers and they flew out and knocked a monitor onto the 40 thousand dollar sound board (that’s how windy it was.)
*There were 1217 paying people, which isn’t too bad for a Tuesday night. Not what we were hoping for, but it seemed pretty full.
I’m still wiped out. We’re doing one more concert, May 1 (Superchick), and after that I think we’ll all go sleep for a week!

Wow! I can’t believe you got to meet all those guys. I LOVE Toby Mac. I’ve been a huge dc Talk fan all my life and now that they’ve gone solo, I think he’s my favourite of the 3.
Cnograts on your concert going fairly well. It sounds like it was impressive. If I lived anywhere near you I would have totally been at that, but alas, I am way up here in Canada.
